Very family friendly diverse clientele from all over, including Mexico. Breakfast handy, but pretty much the same everyday. Very busy street but roooms were quiet. Walk to the plaza!
The staff were great, especially the front desk. Hotel was very clean. 10 minute walk to the main plaza. The complimentary breakfast was basic but allowed for an early start
Its a nicely laid out property. Two courtyards, open one with pool. Rooms around are good for less noise from the road.
Comfortable beds and hot showers.
Breakfast the same every morning, coffee is terrible.
Acceptable place in Centro near everything on foot
Breakfast was good they had self serve coffee and would bring out a plate with eggs, beans, yummy sweet bread and jello. The room was simple but clean and was as pictured.
I had a very pleasant stay at Hotel Doralba Inn in Mérida, located in the historic heart of Mérida. The room was consistently sptotless throughout my visit, and I’m giving full marks for cleanliness. The staff were another highlight - friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with anything I needed. Their responsiveness really elevated the experience. The swimming pool was a wonderful bonus, especially in the heat of March. It became my go-to spotter to cool off after long days of exploring the city and other not-to miss touristic gems Yucatan has to offer. The only thing that didn’t quite meet my expectations was the breakfast. I found the menu a bit repetitive, and it wasn’t the buffet-style variety I had anticipated. That said, aside from breakfast, the hotel met all of my expectations and offered great value overall. I would happily stay here again for the comfort, central location, service, and relaxing atmosphere.
This property was within walking distance of the main plaza and there is a great restaurant and convenience stores close by. Staff were kind and lovely colonial feel.

Cynthia at the front desk was outstanding! She was very helpful and always pleasant. The room was clean as was all the common areas.
The hotel itself needs some updating. The pool was nice to swim in although it seemed to have way too much chlorine. It was nice to have breakfast included although the meal itself could use some updating and daily variety.
I would stay here again if only visiting for a day or two. The hotel is in a central location, walking to restaurants and activities is easy.

Very close to the main plaza (10-15 mins walk) with shops and restaurants. Breakfast was included (scrumbled eggs with beans or pasta or rice). Room smallish with 2 beds and smallish bathroom. Clean room, no fridge or coffee/tea maker, TV with plenty of channels, safe. No noise, nice sleep. Liked our 3 night stay.
Low cost, basic with breakfast included. Old place close to everything. More expensive places with trendier, upscale atmospheres are everywhere. Cleaning staff is much more efficient than high-end places I've stayed.This place will get you a longer stay at a very reasonable price if your not picky about everything. Ive been here before and I'll definitely return.
For the price point there's a lot to love and little to complain about. While it may be a bit dated it holds nice colonia style, the property and the rooms are very clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful. You're very close to all the action but I will note the streets are very busy in this area for pedestrians and cars. You're very close to all the action and amenities in and around the main plaza. Beds were comfortable and we enjoyed our stay. We would book it again.

Nice place to stay. The paintings in the lobby gave it a lovely charm. Simple rooms for the budget conscious. Located near the cathedral which was nice. The beds were VERY hard which was the only downside. Breakfast is uninspired but edible (scrambled eggs and pasta or rice). The pool was nice and they let us bring our own beverages and food which was great. If they can fix the beds, it’d be a good stay!

The hotel is very basic. The entrance is quite run down. Staff is friendly and helpful. The mattress was worn out. Lights were old and didn’t all work. We had everything that we needed, but it was not luxury.

The location is close to downtown attractions, but the immediate blocks are run down. The bathroom door was warped at the bottom. Not the cleanest.
