“Charming hotel but disappointing room”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

We loved Valladolid and El Meson del Marques is a charming hotel in this colonial city. That being said, unfortunately we were totally disappointed in our room. We had booked a superior room, described on our voucher as a "spacious room with balcony". We did have a tiny "balcony", but the room could not be defined spacious at all. I called the reception immediately to check if there was a mistake, but no way... that was our superior room! We could hardly open both of our suitcases on the floor (we stayed just for a night and did not want to unpack). Late at night I stumbled over our things on my way to the restroom and almost fell down, all this thanks to the "spacious" room we were given. The room overlooking the courtyard was not a good idea either. There was plenty of noise coming from the restaurant below, which affected the quality of my sleep. The food in the hotel is good though somewhat overpriced in comparison to other restaurants in Mexico. I can say the same about our rate, which did not even include breakfast. Too bad in the end I was sad we had to leave Valladolid, but glad we were leaving the hotel.

Room Tip: Make sure you do get a spacious room if you book a superior room. Ours was too small. If you want a...

“Romantic”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

We stayed here a few years and longed to return. The second trip did not disappoint. The rooms are small but spotlessly clean and everything works. The restaurant is the best in town. Diners sit in an outdoor courtyard around a fountain. The servers are very professional and the food a good mixture of Yucatan, Mexican and European food. The shaded pool is always chilly because it never gets sunshine. The hotel is right on the zocalo and within waking distance of the bus station, museum, shops and other sights.

“Charming historic hotel on central Square with inviting dining spaces and authentic ambiance.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012

We stayed on a Saturday night and I loved the dining and courtyard spaces of this hotel. We booked the standard room and it was clean and roomy with nice A/C to fend off the heat. Loved the hand-wrought iron bed. The mattress was very firm but that's what we've come to expect in Mexico. Bathrooms in standard room are just basic but adequate. Nice pool and casual congregation area with wi-fi for drinks and they have a free book trade in the registration lobby for readers, as well as local books for sale. Great location on the central Square with dining, shopping and history right at your doorstep. Loved the hand-made leather shop next door, artisan shop on the corner and visited the Casa de los Venados across the square to see an American couple's restored hacienda filled with Mexican art.

“Enchanting”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012

Valladolid was once the capital city of the Yucatan. Right in the main square, in front of the cathedral is what most have been the home of the most powerfull family in the city, which has been converted into a beautifull hotel of 17th century architecture. Extraordinary food adn good service. Don`t miss the "Lomitos" and the "longaniza"..To die for! Ask for a pitcher of mango water or mamey water...delicious! The rooms are a bit basic but service is friendly and the owners are always there. No CC's accepted. Very nice swimming pool.

“Best in town”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012

The hotel located walking distance from the bus station and situated directly on the park principal in full view of the main church. There is some street noise but that is hard to avoid anywhere in town. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The staff are friendly and helpful. And the hotel restaurant is not to be missed. You must try one of the regional dishes. Some these regional dishes are described as soup, but this is no appetizer or “starter”. By the time you have guacamole prepared at the table and flan for desert you will have a full meal.

Room Tip: Don't miss the restaurant.
