Casa De Las Columnas

We've stayed here for the past 3 years as we head out to the airport the next morning. Considering we have to leave at 5AM we never missed a flight and the hotel personnel makes sure we get a taxi, or the owner drives us to the airport on occasion. Being on Calle 59, it is about 1Km walking distance to Centro and 30 pesos cab ride back.

Depends what you are looking for , def its not a resort, just a hotel. Good if you are exploring Merida and use room only to sleep, not to spend the day @ hotel, Great service, clean, well maintained, nice people, comfortable,good price, high ceilings, historic building, no windows on some rooms, very small pool. And again good if you are in Merida to explore, not good if your planning to hang out at the hotel. A short drive to city's center.

If you want to stay in a beautiful and clean room and expect nothing else from the hotel, then this is a good choice. We saw nearly nobody during our stay there, the breakfast was the poorest we ever hat in a hotel (melon, sweet rolls and bad coffee...) and the staff wasn't really caring about helping the clients with anything...

Great hotel and very nice service. The staff is very helpful and accommodating. Beds aren't the most comfortable.

Not only is the Casa De Las Columnas located in a stategic area but it is lovely to boot. My wife and daughter and I spent some time in Merida recently and loved our time at Casa De Las Columnas. Our rooms were spacious and beautifully decorated, the common area has a pool and comfortable visiting areas, and the location was perfect for exploring both the historic area and going to the outlying areas around Merida. The workers there were all pleasant and helpful. Did I mention what a bargain it was???

I liked it so much I stayed an extra day. Absolutely romantic and delightful. The chaos of the busy streets outside sequestered away by these adobe walls, yields a sun kissed courtyard and secret garden surrounded by private rooms filled with antiques. All at an amazing price. This Casa is well away from the busy Grande Plaza it is about 10 blocks or a brisk 25 minute walk, which I enjoyed doing a couple of times a day. If not take a taxi and enjoy this little hideaway. Breakfast was basic coffee, bread, fruit and cornflakes but that's all I needed. English was sparse with some staff but my needs were taken care of. I have been travelling in Peru and Mexico, this Casa has real HOT water and good wifi. I also stayed at Hotel Reforma which is VeRy rustic and noisy by comparison. Pay $5 more per night and stay at Casa de Los Columnas.

In the past 2 years offer a quiet, clean, well priced hotel within walking distance of Centro.

We had visited the hotel last year to suggest to others or for our own future trips and enjoyed spending time having a coffee in their beutiful garden. When suggested the Casa de las Columnas we immediately agreed. The staff are ever present and easy to access, They speak english and even some french as they wish to help their guests feel comfortable. VERY clean, beautiful garden and rooms have touches of old Merida. They have a small continental breakfast and you can order wine, beer or spirits for around the pool. The location is great and only 4 blocks away from Santiago Park with weekly outside bands and ethnic cuisine, next door to a grocery store and pharmacy and a 20 minute walk to Downtown Centro. It is a small and cultural hotel with only 11 rooms. A simple hotel with an excellent atmosphere for a great price. The consistency of the service both trips is a factor we appreciated.

A small family run hotel in a converted school. We've stayed here 6-7 times in the past 2 years. Less than one mile walk to cathedrals and main square.

Cals itself a hotel but really a B&B. Comfortable, no frills, and quiet. It is on a very nice street abd has off-street parking. Only drawback is that it is about a 20 minute walk to the central plaza, which normally would be fine for me but Merida is extremely humid and hot in the summer. The low price is a big plus.
