Velada Mérida

  : Stopped here for one night on our way down to Morocco on motorbikes. Not much to do in Merida (but we did get there quite late) but the Hotel Velada Mrida is easy to find with barriered secure parking next door. Parking is chargeable BUT if you're on a motorcycle, you can squeeze through the barrier (and the staff know it). Room was comfortable and breakfast ample, except there was a coach party who had arrived at the same time as us for breakfast, so there was a bit of a queue. Dinner can be served in their restaurant. Marginally on the expensive side, but it was a good meal. Bar in lobby is a godsend.
  : Queue for breakfast due to a coach party.

  : Having read quite grim reviews of this hotel on Booking.com and Google.Maps, I did not expect much from it, and was hesitant to book it. It thus came as a nice surprise that I liked it, and found it quite great. The room was huge and clean, and everything was nice and comfy. The furniture was a bit old-fashioned, but overall fine. The sound-proofing of the room wasn't perfect (people making noise in the corridor in the morning were very audible, and if I listen well I could hear a neighbor snoring in the middle of the night), but not the worst I ever experienced, and I had a great sleep. I haven't tried the breakfast.
  : The hotel is somewhat outside the city center, and its immediate surroundings aren't lively. Sure, it is just ~20 min walk to the downtown, and the area feels safe; but the day I stayed there was quite cold, so when I wanted to go for a drink in the downtown before sleep, it felt quite far, and I did not make it. Though, they have a small bar in the hotel, although not very exciting.

  : Friendly and helpful staff. Receptionist gave us a map and showed us various restaurants where we could eat, within walking distance. The room size was excellent and three chairs plus a sofa, brilliant.
  : Hotel has a restaurant and cafe. Restaurant wasn't open and although we went into the cafe in the evening there was no one serving.
