This centrally located hotel was my home for four days in Merida. The room was no frills but it was good, the bathroom/shower was large. The staff were kind and friendly and you could tell they were happy to be there. Short walk to Parque San Juan, a little more to Plaza Grande.. Merida centro at its cultural best. Thanks for a great visit.

The room was fine and the staff courteous but the wifi was laughable and the hot water wasn't warm enough to shower. Major points for location. Right in the historic district. But if I can't shower or check my email I'm not going above 3 stars.

The rooms we got were clean (sheets and bathrooms). Installations need lots of improvements, updates. One of the rooms lacked of window so it was claustrophobic. Is convening location for those looking to be close to the ADO bus station.

Great location opposite the ADO bus station and a 10 minute walk to centro. Our first room was very noisy close to the main road, the room felt damp and the bathroom had a lot of mould in it. The toilet didn't flush properly so they had kindly left a bucket - they were obviously aware of a problem but didn't seem to want to fix it. The main problem was that we had no way of filling the bucket except trom the shower which took forever! The next morning we pointed out the problems at reception and asked for another room as we were there for 5 nights. They willingly gave us a much better room at the back of the hotel on the top floor. It was quiet and clean but still had a lot of mould n the bathroom. I'd recommend it for 1 or 2 nights but it's not really a holiday hotel. staff were friendly and helpfutrytbreaktast.

The only windows in these rooms are in the bathroom and let out into the interior of the hotel. Meaning when you walk to your room your walk through scent of mixed people poo. Then they had to nerve to say “no smoking” just because I have dreadlocks. A joint would have covered the poo smell that lingered the whole stay.

One of the two rooms we rented had no door to the bathroom (only a termite-eaten door frame). Also, the bathroom sink handles were not shutting-off the flow of water so we had to use the shutoff valves under the sink instead. We had a very late arrival, otherwise we would have left and looked for another hotel. The staff was not friendly or forthcoming (made us feel unimportant to their business). The second room was ok (just average). The use of fragance inside the rooms and very poor ventilation was somewhat unpleasant.

Mi experiencia en el Hotel El Español fue muy negativa. Durante mi estancia ocurrió un accidente grave: mi hijo pisó un vidrio en el área de camastros, lo que evidencia falta de limpieza y protocolos de seguridad básicos en áreas comunes. El incidente requirió atención médica, suturas y seguimiento posterior, generando gastos médicos por aproximadamente $8,000 MXN, los cuales el hotel no asumió ni atendió adecuadamente. El personal no mostró una respuesta clara ni empática ante la situación, y en ningún momento se ofreció una solución o apoyo real. Considero inaceptable que un hotel permita condiciones que pongan en riesgo a los huéspedes, especialmente a menores. No recomiendo este hotel y solicito que Expedia revise el caso y me apoye con el seguimiento correspondiente.
