Cons:

Extremely poor internet connection, you have to stay near the window to even hope to get a signal. It feels like being back in the last century.

The hotel has a pompous colonial-style entrance, but unfortunately, you don’t live in the entrance… The room does not meet our expectations at all, it is outdated, poorly maintained, and the bathroom is even worse. The towels are so worn out that they have turned a dirty white color.

The lack of mosquito screens on the windows allows mosquitoes to get in, making the stay even more unpleasant.

Unsecured parking in a dilapidated courtyard, with homeless people nearby.

There are very few tourists, which is not surprising given that the hotel is expensive for the level of service provided. In addition, it is quite far from the city center.

In Mérida, there are much better options: more central hotels at lower prices.

Avoid!

Well-located, comfortable hotel that could do with some modernization
Pros:

We had a two-bedroom suite, which was two hotel rooms with separate entrances and an interconnecting door. In the middle was a space-wasting little bar area, that I suspect no one in the last two decades has used for anything other than dumping their stuff on the table as they come in.

Beds were comfortable, air conditioning effective, water pressure good. We didn't eat any meals there. There was a small, pleasant pool. Parking was right next to the hotel in a potholed lot without shade.

This comes across as a formerly grand old hotel that has gotten a bit tired. Don't expect slick or flashy. We aren't bothered by that sort of thing, so it was fine for us. The location is good for exploring central Merida, and is central enough that you can go back for a short rest here and there without feeling like you're wasting a lot of extra time walking in the heat to get there.

The guy at reception made some very valuable recommendations to us about Campeche, our next stop, as we checked out.

Cons:

Facilities are tired.

Excellent positionnement pour visiter le centre historique de Mérida
Pros:

Bien situé et personnel très aimable

Cons:

Il est situé près de bar où la fin de semaine le bruit est perçu jusqu’à dans la chambre. La piscine est bien mais pas au soleil.

Gran alternativa en Mérida!!!
Pros:

Que sea una casa antigua típica de Mérida es fantástico!!! Zona muy tranquila y bien comunicada con el centro, el paseo Montejo y los camiones que comunican con el aeropuerto. Muy limpio. Muy seguros los alrededores.

Cons:

El que el patio tenga cables rotos dónde deberían haber lámparas, le da un aspecto de gran descuido.

Tuvimos un tour que salía muy temprano y pedimos en la recepción nos despertaran a las 5 de la mañana, y no lo hicieron ni se disculparon.

Un consejo, ojalá pudieran poner un hervidor o cafetera en las habitaciones.

Gran hotel en zona céntrica
Pros:

La ubica muy cerca del centro de la ciudad. La casa antigua increíble.
La habitación muy bonita y la casona.

Cons:

La habitación que nos dieron estaba hasta el fondo con vista poco agradable del balcón.
El estacionamiento mi sugerencia sería mejorarlo y dos veces lo encontramos cerrado y tuvimos que bajar a pedir abrieran.

Pros:

Bonito y céntrico

Cons:

Habitación bastante anticuada. Nos dieron dos habitaciones contiguas a dos parejas con una puerta que conectaba ambas, por tanto se oía absolutamente todo lo que incluso susurrábamos en cada habitación

Estilo colonial
Pros:

Las instalaciones del hotel, fuera de las habitaciones, son preciosas y la ubicación magnífica

Cons:

La habitación, se nota "viejita" y conviví con una cucaracha muerta dos días, en el falso techo del baño, pedí que la quitaran pero ahí se quedó conmigo....

A good option for a night or two
Pros:

A nice building maybe in need of some TLC but good location and rooms although dated were clean . Great jazz bar serving food called bird across the road and it’s a nice short stroll to the square

Cons:

You can hear every toilet flush and AC machine in rooms beside you

Pros:

La chambre est bien équipée, petit balcon côté piscine à l'abri derrière la végétation. Le frigo et la cafetière sont vraiment un plus.le lit est confortable. Eau chaude et pression sont au rendez-vous, les chambres sont faites tout les jours.
Rien à dire.

Cons:

Peut-être l'insonorisation des chambres...
