Merida City Center hotels & places to stay

The Hyatt Regency in Merida is a great hotel, just a 20 minute walk from the main town square. The room was clean and spacious, with a large in-room safe. The staff were very friendly. I did not try the in-house restaurants so cannot comment. The pool area was stylish, but the pool would be better if it was heated... the water was very very cold. Otherwise it’s a great place to stay.

my parents and i had a pleasant time in merida largely due to the excellent hospitality provided by alex, the super generous owner, and his super friendly staff members at hotel hacienda merida. not having access to water due to maintenance issues for a while,the owner generously provided us free breakfasts during our entire stay, and even prepared some snacks for our 5am departure. these were all greatly appreciated by us and we would not ever hesitate to recommend this hotel for anyone heading to merida!

Everything about this hotel was amazing. The staff is super friendly and knowledgable, service is perfect, location is the best you can get - walking distance to all of the center plus Paseo de Montejo (about 20min walk). The room and all of the building is beautiful and the pool is amazing and you WILL need to dip in because it’s really hot in Merida. The best part of all is that I missed the first night of my stay due to a cancelled flight and they did not charge me for it at all! Not many hotels would be so kind and understanding. The price is excellent for what you get. It’s a true 4 star hotel with 5 star experience! You also got cold beer as a welcome when you arrive and a log list of restaurants for breakfast lunch and dinner as well as other activities and recommendations. I will recommend this hotel to everyone because despite of my super high standards this hotel did not disappoint in any way. Definitely pick this one!

We love the hotel, the staff and the location. Fifth time staying there in 20 years.. The location is just a long block from the city center where one can find plenty to see and do. We found the best tacos ever across the street from the cathedral, and cheap. Merida is more Spanish than Spain (I have been to Spain) NOTE: take bug spray because the hotel is “open air”, my wife and granddaughter got a few bites at the pool and while eat. I didn’t get bit. IF YOU like quiet don’t get a room with a balcony over the street. It’s a little noisy but we accept the occasional loud truck so we can use the balcony to watch people. We slept just fine.

Beautiful building. 5 mins walk to the cathedral. Our pool facing room was quiet in the evenings. A couple of free drink options available in the lobby. It was nice to chill with a coffee or juice before heading out into the heat of Mérida. Good massage available in the spa for $600 MXN. Off street parking (we had a hire car). Big rooms with good AC. In room safe ($500 deposit for key and lock). A great place to stay in this price range (£50 UK)

Stayed there for 4 nights Nov 2010 and found the staff there to be very helpful, the room to be nice and the hotel to be centrally located in a beautiful, well-maintained older part of the city. There is a restaurant (didn't eat there) and travel agency (can give you info on city tours, excursions to Chichen Itza, etc.) located within the building. I would definitely stay there again. See pros list for more info.

The place has definately got potential. The next hotel housed in the same building (former monastery) is amazing and perhaps Caribe can walk over and have a look. Hotel room very outdated, it was clean, but furnishing is old and design isn't really thoughtout (closet opens onto the bed). There was a pool, but deck chairs are wrecked. You do get a good view of the cathedral though. Its location is a good as you are close to the sights you'll want to see in Merida, close to shops and restaurants too.

Charming spot,a gem, a first class experience at a very reasonable price. Open courtyard,fountain and gardens, comfortable couches and convenient tables. Everything is spotless and staff is warm, friendly & helpful. Owner is on hand, accessible and attentive. Great food in the restaurant.. The shops are the best in Merida. The location is perfect. We truly could not be more pleased.

The only serious issue was that if your booking is through Agoda you will have to pay at the end of the trip and they will try and charge you a different rate entirely. Ours went from $53 a night to $78 dollars a night excluding taxes. Agoda need a good rocket over this issue as not only is it embarrassing to find out you haven't paid but for the rate to raise so much is almost criminal. Doubt I will be using Agoda again. The hotel provide two small bottles of water when you arrive and that is all. Seriously this is Mexico and hot and if you think you can survive on this you are sadly mistaken. If you book one day at a time you will continue to get a free bottle every day. The hotel also has more rules than the Motor Traffic Act of 1909 (as amended). If you are a smoker you have one small area near the pool only if other people are not offended or you have to extinguish the cigarette. The towels provided on some days were the size of a postage stamp.

This description and photos do not do this place justice! As our first visit to Mérida, we had our initial hesitations about wandering off the "typical tourist" path but this hotel (and city) has completely changed our perspective. Once you reach the center of the city, the architecture, streets, and overall environment have an old European Spanish influence and feel. The streets were filled with people and music, amazing food, and historic landmarks. Once we arrived at the hotel, the front desk gentlemen were extremely hospitable, polite, and knowledgable. We were offered complimentary beverages, a tour of the entire grounds, and detailed advice about the area. It was honestly the true "VIP" treatment, and we've certainly had our fair share of 5-star hotels in the past. We were amazed once we entered the lobby - it was like an immaculate oasis in the center of the urban city. Our single room (which had a private porch with poolside hammock) was larger than most 2br apartments in Seattle, with more amenities than many of the larger 5-star hotels in the usual tourist spots, with the hospitality of a small town bed & breakfast. The next morning, we sat out by the pool and had a great conversation with one of the staff. Our breakfast was delicious and served with coffee in a French press. Once we left, the check-out process was quick and easy and we were on our way. We all wished we had several more nights to enjoy this beautiful hotel. Do not pass it up!

Just one night between two main archeological sites. Room was relatively big (for 4) and clean and the bathroom too. Easy accessible by car and reasonobly close to downtown (you have to use tha car anyway). Internet working well in the room. Breakfast not included served in a sister structure across the street, it was fantastic! Buffet with 4 different types of fruits and 8 types of eggs and meat plus coffe or tea and juice for a really reasonable price. Fridge missing in the room.

Wir sind nach 1h wieder abgereist, da das Zimmer und auch ein zweites ungesund und eklig nach Schimmel rochen. Unhaltbare Bedingungen. Ich kann mir nicht erklären, wie die gute Bewertung zustandekommt. Wir haben von den drei Nächten nur 50% erstattet bekommen. M.E. Ein Unding, da eine solche Unterkunft gar keine Daseinsberechtigung hat. We left the hotel after one hour because of its strong, unhealthy and disgusting mold smell. They showed us a second room, which was bad as well. We got 50% refund from our three nights. I‘d have expected 100% refund. Offering such a accommodation is ridiculous. I can’t understand the good rating. I would have given 0 of 10 Points.

This property is gorgeously curated and the team working here is so attentive. We were always impressed by how they knew when we were arriving back to open the gate and have our key ready. The recommendations we received of where to eat and what to do were fantastic too and took into consideration our preferences and a variety of price points. Breakfast was phenomenal.

Really good stay at the Kook Art 57 Boutique. Unrivalled staff with particular gentleman called Eduardo who really went the extra mile to be helpful. We were two female travellers and were given really helpful advice and great service throughout our stay. Pretty little hotel with charm and fantastic value for money! Highly recommended for a cheap and cheerful quirky hotel.
