AZZ Mérida Medea
Hotel ILUNION Mérida Palace
The room was spacious, clean, and all around wonderful. The location was perfect for us. It was close to some of the Roman ruins and across from a city square.

Akla Hotel Mérida
Pleasant room with good decoration. Window to internal area so air-con required at night, hence average eco/friendly score.

Alora Hotel Mérida
Great, small hotel, with parking, walking distance to most points of interest in Merida. Fabulous staff, very clean and by the looks of it, brand new. Quite a nice breakfast for the size of the room.
