Hotelito YUM KAAX

The staff were attentive on the 1st day and they let us store our luggage as we had reached Merida quite early. On booking.com messaging, they were prompt in responding. Place was very clean and one could go to the pool to beat the heat. The kitchenette was self-sufficient. There was a filtered water palce where one could fill bottles during the stay- this was handy as the tap water is not drinkable. Although on the 2nd day, the water was over towards the end of the day.

The description and pictures shown for the "queen suite with a pool view" is very misleading and hence it should be made clear to account for the pricing. Initially I thought we had a good deal as even though it was a bit away from centre of Merida, we were under the impression that we had the entire top floor as shown in the pictures. When one clicks on the pictures for your booked apratment on booking.com, it always shows only the pictures of the room you're staying in. However, they have added pictures of atleast 2 or even 3 different rooms. In the description, it says - "Guests will have a special experience as the suite features a pool with a view. Featuring a private entrance, this air-conditioned suite consists of 1 living room, 1 separate bedroom and 1 bathroom with a shower and a hairdryer" - if they chnage this later, I still have a screenshot of our booking. However, what we got was only 1 room with a bathroom - there was no living room along with a "separate bedroom". Becuase of this description, I had let go of other options we had seen closer to the centre. I had also asked them to clarify while booking the place as it was showing "5 more still left" and I wasn't sure how can 5 be left when on the pictures there's 2 rooms on the top floor and 2 on the ground floor. But they said they have other properties on the premises. Also in the ad it says size of 409 sq ft - that'd probably be the size if you consider both the rooms on the top floor. The single room was in no way 400+ sq ft. I have added in pictures actual room vs what is shown for the booked room. Besides this one issue, everything else was very good and as shown. But misleading people with these descriptions is not nice given we consider the pricing based on what's on offer. For anyone loking at this proerty, please be aware there is ONLY A SINGLE ROOM ON OFFER (although the size of the room is sufficeint for a couple)

Close to the heart of the historical city, in comfortable walking distance to Zocala and Ballas Artes. The apartment had everything we could need and the rooftop area was a lovely bonus with views and atmosphere.

We were there on Friday and Saturday nights and there is a night club up the street which we could hear clearly until 1/2am. It wasn’t ear-shattering, but disruptive when suffering jet lag.

Really liked the location, a bit outside the center and in a more average neighborhood. Our room, a queen "suite" (the extra room is the balcony), was well set up and comfortable. Very glad to have a ceiling fan and a screen on the front sliding door, so we didn't need to use the a/c unit at all. I'm not a big fan of the "unhosted hotel" (basically Airbnb) and only booked this one because it was available last-minute. That said, the staff was quick to respond to chat messages, and check-in and check-out was very smooth.

Exterior lights on the balconies for the suites cannot be turned off, so at night, because we wanted to keep our sliding door and drapes open for the breeze, we had to cover up the lights with shoes, hats, etc, to keep them from shining in our window. It's workable but a bit of a hassle (and unnecessary light pollution). The three upstairs suites have the most exterior lights (4 or 5, I think, embedded in the balcony floor on each one). Looked like the three ground-floor suites have only a couple of lights in front of each room.

The property is stunningly renovated with a gorgeous courtyard pool area.

Beds are at the entrance and glass sliders so noise outside felt like it was inside. Wish rooms had a little more space for a sitting area.
