Fiesta Americana - Merida

10/10 Excellent

"Muy bueno"

Merida Santiago Hotel Boutique

8/10 Good

"Very helpful staff that put in extra effort to make the stay smooth. Comfy bed. Parking was right in front of the building, which was super convenient. The toilet had some problems at first, but once I informed hotel staff, they fixed it promptly. Only slight downside was the shower. There wasn’t as much hot water as I’m accustomed to, and at one point even the cold water ran out right in the middle of showering. So had to stay soapy for about 10 mins until water came back. Luckily didn’t miss any plans because of it. Also the fridge was located in the bathroom, which I found awkward to use. Overall though, good place. Would consider staying there again."

Casa Loreto 1893

10/10 Excellent

"You drive through an area where you've think you've made a terrible mistake of the hotel you chose, and then you go through the gate and find an absolutely beautiful hotel, elegantly decorated and landscaping that reminds you of Latin times years ago. Huge rooms! We had a very large room with two King (real King) sized beds, a very large bathroom and a private outer area with a hammock. Thoroughly enjoyed the restaurant and the pool (not extremely large, but good for several people). While there is nothing close by to walk to, except the Zoo, transportation is easy to get."

Gran Hotel Panamericana Merida

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was absolutely delicious and different every day. Staff were friendly though they seemed to be short in the mornings during the breakfast rush. Rooms were clean and beds comfortable to include the option to get a softer pillow. The bathroom needed a refresh as the tiles were worn out and stained and the toilet seat was loose. Bathrooms in the lobby needed better maintenance and one of the elevators continued malfunctioning during our 5 night stay. The pool and grounds were well maintained and I really appreciated the beverage (agua de sabores) options that were available for guests in the lobby. Overall, it was a great stay and not too far from the center of the city."

Hotel Ambassador Merida

8/10 Good

"Está bueno por el precio. El hotel es viejito y no hay mucho mantenimiento de las áreas o habitaciones. Y su esperas encontrar una habitación moderna y con todo funcional no es este hotel. Por ej: no funcionaba el TV, el agua caliente de la ducha era fría, no encontrarás ni plancha ni secador de pelo…. PERO ES UNO DE LOS MEJORES ubicados en el mismo centro de la ciudad, cerca de todo y por un precio módico te incluye desayuno. Para mí cumplió mis objetivos. Me gustó ❤️"
