This was my second stay at the Gran Hotel. Excellent location, that is, as other reviewers have noted, a bit on the noisy side but about as close as you're going to get to experiencing some old world charm here in Mexico. That does include a certain nonchalance with few additional amenities beside what is provided in your room. .......No... More

Stayed here for one night on Exodus's La Ruta Maya tour. The hotel is on a central square in a great location in Merida but is noisy at night because of this. When you enter the hotel it is easy to think you have stumbled into an auction viewing room which is odd but adds to the colonial charm! Our... More

If you are a history buff...this is the place for you! Perfect location! Close to many points of interest. Hotel has been well maintained. Room we stayed in was large and clean. If we went back we would ask for different room but only due to the shape of the room...it was fine otherwise. WiFi worked well most of the... More

If you are going to Merida to check it out and get a feel for the town, the Gran Hotel is a very good place to stay for a few days. Located just down the street from the Cathedral and main square, it has the look and feel of early in the last century--it was the first hotel in town.... More

Despite the age of the hotel, it was worth the stay. The atmosphere is fantastic in its high ceilings and antiques scattered throughout, There is ample space and a time passed by elegance. It would have been nice to be able to open the doors to the outside. The noise is apparently a problem for most. I have stayed in... More

The hotel is very good, the rooms are ample and clean, the furniture and decor is antique, but functional. We stayed in a room with air conditioner and the location was great, right in downtown Merida. The hotel has a deal with a public parking nearby, you get free parking from 8:00pm to 8:00am, however the parking closes at 9:00pm... More

You can tell this hotel is old, but in a good way. Lot's of antique furniture all over. Our room was very big and spacious. There's a refrigerator but no safe. It's located right by a park that seems to be happening with live music and people that have set up their tables to sell local art. Our balcony looks... More

I really enjoyed my stay at this lovely colonial hotel, built in the early 1900s, and tastefully remodeled. It was a perfect location for enjoying downtown colonial Merida....highly recommend and reasonably priced too! 1
