My partner and myself spent 3 nights at Casa del Balam. For me it was a first time at this beautiful turn of the century hotel. The staff were very nice. Breakfast was awesome. I enjoyed the salsa piccante that the chef conjures up. Very close to Catedral de San Lldefenso, Museum of Modern art, some brilliant eateries and cafes.... More

We stayed there for 5 days from April 27, 2012. This is a great hotel, it was an hacienda at one time. It is at a perfect location, only 2 bocks from the main plaza. The rooms were pretty large and extremely clean. Personnel were very nice and went out of their ways to make our stay a pleasant one.... More

We stayed overnight at this beautiful and quaint hotel on 4/13/12. For me, it was a return to Merida and Casa del Balam after a college visit to Mayan ruins in 1994 but, much to my delight, the charm and beauty have only improved with time. The rooms are very clean, spacious, comfortable and relaxing. We stayed in #307 and,... More

The hotel has charming decor, and it's close to the main plaza. The city is lovely, and boasts a lot of cultural activities each day of the week. The food was exquisite and not expensive. The room had two full size beds, and was very clean. The tv had a lot of channels (most in Spanish). Ok, now some drawbacks:... More

This is a lovely old colonial property, beautiful maintained and very quaint. The rooms are comfortable, spacious, and clean. The hotel is only a block or so from the main plaza. Staff is friendly and helpful. More

This is an older hotel conveniently located in the city centre (promenade during week ends). If you get a room on the cobblestone street you'll have a lot of noise problems during night. Go early in the morning for breakfast if you want to find all dishes in the menu. More

Pleasantly surprised with this center of town hotel. Although it is older it is well maintained and the staff is very pleasant. Our room was very spacious and the only drawback was that we were there during carnival and the parades past right outside the hotel. Nice if this was the purpose of the visit, but it was not. The...

This hotel is very well located, reasonable, and clean. For Carnival it has a front row seat for three different parades. This would be a good reason to come to Merida. Nice staff, English spoken, good breakfasts too. More
