This is a great hotel in a very good location. The rooms are large and very quiet. There is a beautiful pool. The included breakfast was very good. WiFi is a little inconsistent as was the hot water for the shower but overall we had a great stay and I would definitely stay again.

This is a very good hotel. The building is lovely as well as the pool. Rooms are very spacious and comfortable and the air conditioning works properly, which is a must in Merida. The one thing we were not too keen on was the fact that the hotel is about 20 minutes walk from the centre which made it difficult sometimes. The surrounding streets are very quiet and somewhat dark so that’s something to consider when you are waking back to the hotel at night.

Great and spacious room, comfy bed, nice shower. Easily accessible from Centro either by car or by foot. There’s construction happening around the hotel, so a bit noisy in the morning but the room darkening curtains help. The main pool seems nice and clean (didn’t use it) and the small pool in the back garden of room #4 was lovely.
Would’ve been nice to have a small fridge in the room to keep drinks cold, or complimentary ice bucket/ice.
Air conditioning worked great though!
Overall a solid place that offers a lot of value for the cost.

Will come back to Unknown Hotel
Beautiful hotel, staff was very friendly and the pool in the room was the highlight of our trip. The hotel is a bit far from Plaza Central (about 20 min walk), just to keep in mind. Rooms are spacious and bed was comfortable. Breakfast were basic and small portion but Plaza de Santiago is just 2 blocks from the hotel with the best tacos/tortas of cochinita and lechón great for breakfast. It's a must!

Economic and comfortable stay
The rooms are quite spacious, which is nice. The hotel makes an effort for clients and accommodates requests for extra blankets etc. Convenient fifteen minute walk from Merida Centro.
A few downsides: despite the netting on the windows, our room was full of mosquitos. The pool was also full of dead insects. Breakfast is mediocre. Finally, sound travels easily between the rooms.

The hotel was clean and well equipped. The staff was very friendly.
The included breakfast was also okay - nothing special, but everything you needed.
We would definitively come back!

They had a large updated TV and we were able to hook up our Fire stick to get US Utube and our Prime Video programing. The room was very private and breakfast was included and very convenient. The bathroom was large and plenty of counter space. The patio was attractive with a small pool but they might provide outdoor seats. Bring a small power strip with you because outlets are limited as they are in most older Mexican hotels. The staff was helpful and attentive.

A lovely boutique hotel with delightful staff and lush greenery surrounding a pool that is built for short laps and cooling off. The rooms are spacious, some with their own plunge pools and comfy couches on which to lounge. The in-house massage therapists are an extra bonus. The hotel is conveniently located in a quieter part of Merida but close enough to the center of town, a 20-minute walk away. The Marcado Santiago is but 5 minutes away on foot and offers authentic local fare along with a living gallery of community activities such as dance and celebrations. About an hour's drive from the beaches of the Gulf, and nearby cenotes. A perfect hideaway from winter's wrath. Breakfast is good too.

Great choice
We returned to this small and welcoming hotel and it felt like coming home. Not ultra fancy but stylishly decorated with a lot of tasteful wood accents. Really very nice and well located, close to the Santiago Park and very walkable to the main plaza and other parks. Staff very friendly. Many rooms have a little dipping pool and there is a mid sized central one on the grounds which we've always had to ourselves. The restaurant is small but pleasant and the lobby counter extends into a small bar where they'll serve you a drink. TV, safe, coffee service, all fine. Only things I'll mention are no fridge (seems common) and the pathway to rooms is sort of like railway ties, not sure how easily a wheelchair navigates the path.

Nice place in a convenient location
Pleasant small hotel, well maintained with friendly staff. We ate at the restaurant one evening and it really delivered on the local specialties. The immediate area of the hotel is quiet and residential but you are a few quick blocks from Santiago park, which had food, dancing, great desserts etc
