La Pantera Negra

The hosts were quite knowledgeable about the city/history and able to share easily. Nice breakfast each day with local fruits. Good sense of humor and helpful with directions. Dogs were adorable.

One room had a "damp" smell, but otherwise OK

Lovely breakfast with a gorgeous view over the garden oasis. Jean-Pierre & Gina were wonderful hosts; helpful, generous with their time, happy to share knowledge and guidance of how to best enjoy Merida. Wonderful. You feel very much part of the home, as opposed to staying in a hotel.

I struggle to think of anything.

Super comfortable, clean, quiet room in a lovely colonial house. Perfect location for the historic part of the city and very close to bus/transport links. Very friendly and helpful hosts.

The friendliness of the hosts, alongside a charming and well cared for property in an excellent location.

Nothing. Everything was perfect.

The owners are wonderful and helpful! Beautiful building and interior design. Delicious breakfast. Great location.

We only stayed there one night, but the toilet didnt flush... it was highly annoying and uncomfortable. I am pretty sure though the owners have fixed it in the meantime :)

Authentic Mexican house, filled with art. Owners very pleasant and friendly. Breakfasts fresh and plentiful. lovely natural gardens.

I recommend La Pantera Negra to all first timers in Mérida and solo travellers. Why? Because Jean-Pierre and Gina will be happy to advise you on everything and give you recommendations based on what you want to see and what you enjoy. Plus they have 2 nice and cute dogs who will keep you company. :-) Keep in mind, however, that this accommodation is not a hotel. It is a classic old local house, so some rooms are without windows (that's how houses used to be built). You have to take note that you are staying in this type of house. However, for me it was a benefit because I wanted to experience this style of accommodation! La Pantera Negra is close to the bus stations (Izamal, Progreso etc.) and colectivos (Homun cenotes etc). The streets nearby look a little scary at night, but they are safe - I've walked them at night alone and as a female solo traveler. Breakfast is served on the terrace overlooking the garden.

The room was a bit dark, but that is simply due to the fact that it is a classic original house. The garden is beautiful, but I didn't really feel like going for a swim in the pool. The air conditioning was a bit loud, but at night this could be solved by running the ceiling fan instead of the air conditioning.

very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable owners who took time to converse with us and give suggestions; varied breakfast, always with plenty of fresh fruit and served on the outdoor roof terrace; garden courtyard with small pool for guests' use; convenient location just minutes from main bus terminal and not far from main square, super fast internet, owners allow guests use of fridge; powerful AC in bedroom

sometimes breakfast was just fruit and bread (not always a full cooked breakfast); there are two small dogs in the house which might bother some guests (though we found the pups delightful); old plumbing with poor water pressure - not the owners' fault but something to be aware of

Very welcoming and friendly. Jean Pierre and Gina were delightful and very helpful with information regarding how to navigate the city of Merida and it's history. Our room was nice with it's own private bath. It gave us a good base for exploring Centro.
