Gran Real Yucatan

Excellent hotel

Nothing

We had a two-bedroom suite, which was two hotel rooms with separate entrances and an interconnecting door. In the middle was a space-wasting little bar area, that I suspect no one in the last two decades has used for anything other than dumping their stuff on the table as they come in. Beds were comfortable, air conditioning effective, water pressure good. We didn't eat any meals there. There was a small, pleasant pool. Parking was right next to the hotel in a potholed lot without shade. This comes across as a formerly grand old hotel that has gotten a bit tired. Don't expect slick or flashy. We aren't bothered by that sort of thing, so it was fine for us. The location is good for exploring central Merida, and is central enough that you can go back for a short rest here and there without feeling like you're wasting a lot of extra time walking in the heat to get there. The guy at reception made some very valuable recommendations to us about Campeche, our next stop, as we checked out.

Facilities are tired.

Great location in the center part of the city. Big airy rooms. Lovely pool. Very friendly staff. Good shower and bathroom facilities. Protected parking lot with plenty of spaces.

There wasn't much not to like--the facility served us very well. The in-house laundry service was a bit pricy, but they did a good job.

A nice building maybe in need of some TLC but good location and rooms although dated were clean . Great jazz bar serving food called bird across the road and it’s a nice short stroll to the square

You can hear every toilet flush and AC machine in rooms beside you
