Very well located, two,blocks from plaza grande. Front Desk staff spoke no English but tried to be helpful. Indoor pool with no roof. A nice touch! Hotel had character. Rooms were basic but adequate. Breakfast buffet at 75 pesos was good value and food was plentiful. More

At only 5 minutes walk from the main plaza, this location is excellent, however the rooms don't really live up to standard. The room we stayed in had no natural light - the only window was into the corridor - so it already felt quite dark and dingy. But then we saw the bathroom - ants crawling over the floor,... More

We are here again, our fourth year, and it's better than ever. The wonderful charm of Mexico is still at the Hotel Colonial: the architecture, the traditional decorations and most importantly, the friendly, helpful Yucatecan staff . . . and you are still in the middle of everything, the resturants, the entertainment, the shops, only two blocks from the Grand...

Stayed here for three nights at the end of a small group tour of Mexico. The hotel is located at the junction of two busy streets and within a couple of blocks of the Zocalo and lots of reasonably priced restaurants - including one literally across the road from the main entrance. Several local bars have a 5-7 happy hour.... More

The hotel was an excellent budget choice. Great location, quiet, clean rooms. Nothing plush about it but nor is the price. The only thing i would say is that the photos make it look "shinier" and newer than it is. The photos are all genuine but just not as "shiney" as advertised. The pool is there but is tiny and...

This hotel was a major disappointment. The only reason it doesn't get a one star is because the facilities are decent. Our room reeked of mustiness, another friend's room stank of cigarette smoke. We needed to keep the air conditioner on all night so the smell didn't overpower us! You cannot sleep as both staff and guests are yelling, whistling... More

We have vacationed in Merida for several years. We have stayed at the Luz en Yucatan, the Caribe, and the Dolres Alba. They are all really nice, but the Colonial is the best of all. We have never been disappointed. The staff is really great and Jorge, the manager is exceptional. Happy, friendly, and always willing to help with whatever... More

We have booked this hotel via Internet because it is centrally located and on the picture it looked quite nice. From outside it really does not look bad with its four stars at the right side of the entrance. But this four stars are not justified at all. Our room was small, dark and even did not have a window,... More

This was a nice hotel, well located and pleasantly decorated. The only problem was that our room was quite small (I know some of them are larger though, so just luck of the draw, I guess) The bathroom was tiny, and a little dank. The hotel was fairly loud, due to tiled floors everywhere (this is a common problem in... More
