Hotel Unknown

“Charming oasis in downtown Merida ”

We stayed in room 2 for 3 weeks. The small garden and dip pool were my favorite (take flip flops to walk on gravel). The wifi was strong and steady (actually better than at home).

We stayed in room 2 for 3 weeks. The small garden and dip pool were my favorite (take flip flops to walk on gravel). The wifi was strong and steady (actually better than at home). The rooms were modern, clean and spacious. Breakfast was fresh (fruit plate with yogurt and ganola), the coffee was hot, large and American style. We had two eggs and bacon ( could have ham or mushrooms) each morning. A great start to the day. The staff are amazing. Well trained and always ready to help with any request. (Special mention to Jose in the restaurant). The location is perfect for Santaigo Square with its market. ( It's an extra 20 minute walk to the Centro). There are some good restaurants within a few blocks (Johannes, Cafe de Montejo) and Aki Express for water, food, wine, beer. Be sure to visit Placer and Delirio for scrumptious bake goods and specialty coffee, on Calle 59 across from the Oxxo. The area is safe and very walkable, but be careful on the uneven sidewalks. The only thing missing that would have made everything perfect was a small fridge to keep cold drinks.

“A perfect oasis!”

This charming little hotel was our oasis from the heat and bustle of the city. Having a spacious room with a private little courtyard and plunge pool was heaven after enduring sweltering temperatures. The plunge pool was much cooler than the common pool. So glad we opted for the courtyard amenities-well worth the extra $! The beds were comfy, linens were crisp, bathrooms well appointed with organic shower products-not those tiny little single-use bottles. Breakfast offered traditional choices as well as Yucatanean offerings, and the service was excellent. This hotel is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood and about a 10 minute walk to the nearest market. We were able to summon an Uber within 9 minutes for longer treks. If you desire a lovely, quiet, quaint haven from the hustle and noise of the city, Hotel Unknown is an excellent choice!

“LOVED my stay!”

I was a bit hesitant booking since it seemed it was a bit far from the Centro but it turned out to be a short and easy walk.

I was a bit hesitant booking since it seemed it was a bit far from the Centro but it turned out to be a short and easy walk. We reserved two rooms, one king room and another with the small pool outside. Both were spacious and well worth it. Everyone on staff I spoke to or were assisted by were very friendly and accommodating; they also gave us a great reference for touring Uxmal as well. It was convenient to have breakfast/dinner there too, no need to venture out. I'm definitely staying there again when visiting Merida!
