Economic and comfortable stay

The rooms are quite spacious, which is nice. The hotel makes an effort for clients and accommodates requests for extra blankets etc. Convenient fifteen minute walk from Merida Centro. A few downsides: despite the netting on the windows, our room was full of mosquitos. The pool was also full of dead insects. Breakfast is mediocre. Finally, sound travels easily between the rooms.

The hotel is in Barrio de Santiago, a quiet, gentrifying area just west of the Centro. I liked the staff very much - they were super helpful and super nice and patient with my rusty Spanish. The plunge pool was very welcoming and clean, great to cool off after a hot day walking around. Walking to the room was quite tricky. Not great for unsteady walkers. The coffee at breakfast was limited to 1 cup and really, it was awful. There was a coffee maker in the room which was also limited to 1 cup each, but we didn't use it. The hot water in the shower lasted 5 minutes or so, but a tepid shower was OK given the heat. There was nowhere to hang a wet bathing suit to dry (if anything ever really dries in Mérida.) A clothesline in the shower would've been perfect. The room had a bedroom and an anteroom with a couch but it felt cave-like in that it was very dark, even with the lights on. Not enough hangers. Generally, the room was just OK though the bed was very comfortable. The location is good. The nearby Parque de Santiago has a mercado with some "taquerias" and "loncherias". Plus music and dancing on Tuesday evenings. There are cafes nearby the hotel with very good coffee. A 20-minute walk to the central plaza and to Paseo Montejo. 30 minutes to the central mercado. All-in-all, it was a pleasant stay but I will not use the hotel again. I'd prefer something lighter and brighter.

This is a great hotel in a very good location. The rooms are large and very quiet. There is a beautiful pool. The included breakfast was very good. WiFi is a little inconsistent as was the hot water for the shower but overall we had a great stay and I would definitely stay again.

Will come back to Unknown Hotel

Beautiful hotel, staff was very friendly and the pool in the room was the highlight of our trip. The hotel is a bit far from Plaza Central (about 20 min walk), just to keep in mind. Rooms are spacious and bed was comfortable. Breakfast were basic and small portion but Plaza de Santiago is just 2 blocks from the hotel with the best tacos/tortas of cochinita and lechón great for breakfast. It's a must!

A lovely boutique hotel with delightful staff and lush greenery surrounding a pool that is built for short laps and cooling off. The rooms are spacious, some with their own plunge pools and comfy couches on which to lounge. The in-house massage therapists are an extra bonus. The hotel is conveniently located in a quieter part of Merida but close enough to the center of town, a 20-minute walk away. The Marcado Santiago is but 5 minutes away on foot and offers authentic local fare along with a living gallery of community activities such as dance and celebrations. About an hour's drive from the beaches of the Gulf, and nearby cenotes. A perfect hideaway from winter's wrath. Breakfast is good too.

Unknown slice of heaven!

It truly was the unknown and then you walk through a door into heaven! I had to remind myself that I had not left Mérida! We switched from busy Paseo de Montejo area to the quiet, peaceful neighborhood of Santiago. We booked a room with a private pool & loved the peaceful small, but perfect outdoor space. The 2 bedroom was perfect for our family of 3 adults. The staff was very accommodating and helpful. One thing to note is there are a few somewhat strict rules: only one coffee pod per person/per day. Breakfast is one drink, coffee refill is extra. Be sure if you book online that your reservation has the correct number of guests. There was a little glitch with that on check in, but the staff was patient and very helpful to straighten it out. Breakfast is good! Fruit plate & eggs prepared to order! We had wonderful massages at the spa here too! There is a photo in the lobby showing what the place looked like before they renovated it! Amazing! It is truly an oasis in the city. My only complaint, but not really a complaint, is the beds are a bit hard. We still slept well because it was quiet and turned the ceiling fan on and the door with screen open to our pool. Woke up to the birds singing in the morning. We even extended our stay here! I highly recommend Hotel Unknown! It will soon be known!

Great choice

We returned to this small and welcoming hotel and it felt like coming home. Not ultra fancy but stylishly decorated with a lot of tasteful wood accents. Really very nice and well located, close to the Santiago Park and very walkable to the main plaza and other parks. Staff very friendly. Many rooms have a little dipping pool and there is a mid sized central one on the grounds which we've always had to ourselves. The restaurant is small but pleasant and the lobby counter extends into a small bar where they'll serve you a drink. TV, safe, coffee service, all fine. Only things I'll mention are no fridge (seems common) and the pathway to rooms is sort of like railway ties, not sure how easily a wheelchair navigates the path.

They had a large updated TV and we were able to hook up our Fire stick to get US Utube and our Prime Video programing. The room was very private and breakfast was included and very convenient. The bathroom was large and plenty of counter space. The patio was attractive with a small pool but they might provide outdoor seats. Bring a small power strip with you because outlets are limited as they are in most older Mexican hotels. The staff was helpful and attentive.

The Perfect Getaway

Hotel Unknown is one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in. The rooms are huge, incredibly clean, and come with a separate living area. The "Standard Room" should be called the "Standard Suite." It comes with a small private garden. The room comes with solid furniture. Honestly, it's better than the pictures and rivals what I've seen in four and five star luxury hotels. The staff are very friendly and helpful and give you plenty of privacy. It's in a quiet, artsy, safe neighborhood close to the central area. There are some great cafes and restaurants very close by. The hotel allows pets. If that bothers you, you might want to ask them to put you in a room away from the lobby. The breakfast consists of a small fruit plate, eggs, and tortillas. We loved the place and can't wait to go back. If you like small boutique hotels, this place is *perfect*.
