I'm already thinking when can I come again!
We loved the central location, the courtyard, the pool on the roof was definitely another highlight. Staff was friendly, room was neat and clean, windows facing the atrium made for quiet sleep. We didn't use the restaurant on site as we loved exploring different restaurants and markets. I would suggest adding a mini fridge to the room to keep some perishable snacks or cold drinks. Gaps in the windows made the AC slightly less efficient, but I don't pay the energy bills in this place. I was sceptical of Merida at first, but I definitely fell in love with the city and Hotel Caribe contributed to this a lot. I'm already thinking when can I come again!
Great location, beautiful interior courtyard comfortable and clean. Staff very accommodating. Rooms are basic, but we were not expecting luxury at the price point.
Best location! Lots of restaurants, shops and bars are all walkable. My only complaint would be better ventilation in the room and the rooms need to be updated!
In need of renovations, shower was dirty, anything made of metal is corroded, mirrors so etched and dirty, poor lighting,
The elevator is outright scary , prefer to use the stairs.
The staff was nice and welcoming.
The building is historic and lovely, located in the city center on a nice little plaza. It’s set off the street and the free parking is 3 blocks away. The rooms are well equipped, showing their age but comfortable. I couldn’t get hot water in the morning but I didn’t really need it. A good variety of options for breakfast. It’s very quiet because the rooms only have windows on the courtyard. I would stay there again.

The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful with any information needed.
Tours were easy to book through them as well.
The premises was clean and welcoming but the room was a bit disappointing, definitely needs updating. The shower head needs replacing and there is a bad smell coming from the drains.
What we liked about the hotel were the good location and the price at $60 per night. That’s where the good items ended. When I went to take a shower one morning, there was no hot water. Later on in the day, when we told the staff about it, all they said was “you should’ve reported it when it happened“. The Internet Wi-Fi was sketchy and very slow, and that was aggravating. When we tried to use the phone in the room to call the front desk, the phone wasn’t working. That was also annoying. So, if all you care about is price and location, by all means stay at Hotel Caribe. As for us, we will never stay there again.
Its right in the heart of centro. Really nice area, right next to the Merida Mansion which by the way super expensive! beautiful tho. The Hotel Caribe is nice, very clean, and good up keep, very colonial, awesome location, surprisingly very quiet. The only negatives, lack of friendly front desk staff and my room smelled quite musty.

Location. Some rooms needs maintenance and a new look.
Wonderful location only a half a block from the parque principal, close to restaurants and shopping. It is an older hotel but well maintained and clean. Unlike a lot of older hotels in the Centro it has an elevator.
