We had the pleasure of staying at this hotel for 4 days. We absolutely loved the location of the hotel as it was very close to many points of interest in the city, within walking distance but also far enough to enjoy some quiet. Our room was spacious, very nicely decorated, and clean.with the hot weather we loved that our room was equipped with both AC and a ceiling fan. This made it much more comfortable to sleep at night. As far as the staff we mostly interacted with Gabriel the front desk attendant and we loved with attentiveness and the polite manner with which he addressed our questions and concerns. He was super helpful in helping my husband and I reserve a tour to a cenote with a personal driver since it was our first time. Overall, we are so happy with out stay and cannot wait to be back in Merida and this hotel soon!

Delightful! The staff is wonderful. Very clean and fantastic location. Wonderful shower. La Negrita down the street has hopping amazing live music — but stopped promptly at 10 every night. Very quiet. We never used a taxi, just walked everywhere. Our room was slightly monastic because it was not a garden room (only the most basic room was available), but perfectly pleasant.

Lovely little hotel. Lots of open spaces filled with plants and rooms tucked here and there. A chef who makes even a simple breakfast a nice meal. A short 3 blocks to Paseo Montejo, and less than one block to the hot Salsa Dance bar and restaurant. Ditch the elevators and long hallways of you chain hotel and try this pleasant surprise.

A less fancy kind of hotel, but local culture
This is a modest but charming, artsy hotel a good distance from the main plaza -- not so long a walk that you cannot do it in 10 minutes or so, but not so close as to be stuck in traffic or bothered by commotion. There is a rooster that crows before dawn, but I found that part of the culture. Our room was not perfect in the sense of a corporate hotel (some stains in the floor and walls) but well maintained on its level as a less fancy kind of hotel.

Nice hotel but performs really poorly on basic services. The kitchen is not operated by the hotel, so they only serve breakfast from 8-10 AM. Same thing with the Spa and parking lot. They do not have a liqueur license so you cannot buy any drinks from them (not even beer). Internet connection is not excellent. None of these issues were openly informed before we made our reservation. If these issues are solved, it might be a good place to stay. In the meanwhile, there are plenty of boutique hotels in downtown Mérida, so I would rather stay in a hotel that does not have any of these issues.

I love how Hotel Marionetas felt like a house. The greenery around the pool was so beautiful and peaceful, and I loved the hammock in my room. Quite spacious room, comfortable bed. My room had windows on two sides which opened to the garden and pool area and I loved it. At night i could hear music from a nearby cantina which was quite enjoyable. The only downside in my opinion was the breakfast. It was just okay. Other nearby places offer much better quality. Hotel was a quick walk to many parks, the centre and groceries if you want some snacks. Would stay here again based on location, quietness of hotel and comfort.

This is a great hotel but unfortunately what was a great experience was spoiled by some of the staff who were rude (used the common spaces as if it were their own home). The place is conveniently located, clean, rooms are spacious, and it is, for Merida center, quite quiet. Apart from a couple of individuals, staff very helpful. Too bad we had this experience as i was the best hotel in Merida we've been to.

This was such a lovely hotel and great value. The room was super comfortable and pretty quiet (some music from the bar down the street but it ended by 10 or 11pm each night. We didn’t make use of the pool but it was very cute. Lovely outdoor (under cover) restaurant where you could get breakfast in the mornings. Staff were friendly and helpful. Plus there was a hammock in the room! Would definitely stay here again if I come back.

Well located with great rooms.
Delightful little 12-14 room hotel close to everything. Nice spacious room with a little garden outside our window. Bed was comfy. Unfortunately no coffee service in the room nor free water but I'd like to think that this was an oversight because their housekeeping was busy with checkins and outs. Very central and despite a previous review we had no noise from the cantina at the end of the street. We'd certainly return.
