“Fantastic Place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 September 2010
1
person found this review helpful

Stayed here for 3 nights during my honeymoon and it was brilliant. The courtyard was a tranquil oasis and a great place to start the day. Breakfast was filling and easily kept us both going until lunch.

The rooms and the casa in general were clean and beautifully decorated. Having stayed in numerous hotels and hostels in south america this was above the normal standard and wouldn't look out of place in supposidly more advance european countries.

I strongly reccommend this as a place to stay when in Merida.

“Much better value than any hotel in the area”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 August 2010

The Posada is close to the centre of the old town in a beautifully restored colonial house. The design has left elements of the original building intact and combined them with modern designs. Pieces of art decorate the place throughout and are for sale. The place looks unpretentious from the outside but is very tasteful on the insdide. The service can be a little slow but it is always friendly and the place has a very relaxed feel to it. The rooms are comfortable, though they could be a little cleaner. If visiting Merida and wanting to stay in the central area, this is the best option.

“Beautiful but very noisy”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 July 2010

people found this review helpful

Casa Sol is beautifully decorated (for a posada), they have art work all over the place (for sale).

The rooms are clean, the bathroom (we stayed at room #3) was big enough, with 2 sinks outside and plenty of hot water. The bed was really comfortable and linens were great. Last but not least, the price was also good.

Despite all this positive things, I wouldn't stayed there in my next trip to Merida. Our room was very noisy, from 5 am to 10 pm we could hear the people in the hall and lobby talking, and at 4:45 am we were woke up by the suitcases being rolled down the wooden stairs that are beside the room. We needed to rest after a long trip from NY to Merida but we couldn't, We stayed there for two days and the story repeated again and again. The room offered no privacy.

I can not give my opinion about the breakfast, because they forgot to write down our reservations for three at 8:30 am, and they didn't have any food for us when we arrived !!!.

“Absolutely fantastic”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 October 2009

Went to Venezuela on our honeymoon and stayed for 3 nights in Casa Sol. Had read reviews in Lonely Planet but never expected it to be so good. You could compare the posada to being like that of a work of art. Open ceilings, green foliage, amazing art, sculptures and mirrors all hang from freshly painted walls. There is an airy yet very homely feeling. Internet is provided free of charge. The rooms are gorgeous, especially no. 10. It came with a small balcony overlooking the avocado tree in the garden. Several healthy breakfast options are available with freshly squeezed juices and homemade banana bread complimentary. Breakfast is extra, only thing I would say is I thought the price for breakfast should have been included in the overall price but this is just minor. We had a wonderful stay here and would love to go back.

“Casa Sol is wonderful and I'll soon be back”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 September 2009

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay there. The Posada is well situated in Avenida 4 and it is a pleasant walk down to el Centro.
The staff are fantastic, friendly and most of all, helpful.
The tariff is a little more expensive than some posadas, but like everything in life (theoretically) you get what you pay for.
So for me it was good value.
