Overall, Casona 61 was an okay place to stay, but expectations should be set correctly. While it’s marketed as a boutique hotel, the experience feels closer to a motel. The rooms are very basic, with limited amenities — for example, there are no reading lamps, the beds and pillows feel low quality, and both the rooms and bathrooms could benefit from better maintenance. Additionally, charging for water after the first two bottles reinforces a budget, motel-style experience rather than a boutique one. It’s acceptable for a short stay, but it does not deliver the comfort or attention to detail typically expected from a boutique hotel. The only good thing is the staff

The hotel was lovely and the staff was great. The biggest drawbacks were absolutely no amenities ie restaurant, bar, snack machine, ice. There is an option to pay for a continental breakfast but it starts at 8am & I was already gone. The other concern was parking. There is a 1 way side street that is free to park. It is hard to find an open space & on the 4th night someone backed into my rental and left. They do offer paid parking in a lot a few blocks away.

Great location, looks clean but saw roaches in the room that they keep the towels, the towels smelled bad and a little torn. The windows are made of wood so they made a lot of noise with the wind. The private \"pool\" is smaller than a jacuzzi but nice little area. There wasn't any parking and I choosed that hotel because of the parking lot. The front desk people could try to smile a little. The front desk girl couldn't stop seeing her Novela in her phone while we checked in.

This was a great place to stay in Mérida, perfect location and the room was very comfortable! We stayed in one of the rooms with a private pool, perfect for two people to spend a hot afternoon.
The room was clean, quiet and the mattress was soft and comfortable. The only thing that would make it better is a mini fridge so that you could enjoy cold drinks while sitting in the pool!
Speaking of cold drinks, you were always able to refill your water bottle with cold purified water in the front lobby, which really came in handy. While we never availed ourselves of the service, there was a small cafe in the centre that served coffee and breakfast too.
Good location, close to one of the main squares, plenty of restaurants and shopping close by. Walking home at night felt perfectly safe and well lit.
All in all if I return to Mérida I would stay here again!

It was ok but we didn’t appreciate them turning the AC off when we were gone ( ok they said it was because it was expensive but we paid for a room with A/C…when off, it was very warm and humid… )
Also we stayed for 3 nights and had complimentary small water bottles the first night… we thought that it was very cheap, we would have appreciated having one for each night…

2. El baño carece de extractor y por tanto acumula mucha humedad.
3. Solo proveen una botellita pequeña de agua por huesped por estancia, es decir, no diariamente sino solo una sin importar si estaras alli un dia o una semana.
4. No ponen un vaso para enjuagarte en el baño

I loved my stay in here, it's a gem. I'll be back definitely. The staff is very friendly and they will tell you more about Yucatan stories and places to go, the breakfast is delicious, and one thing I gotta say is about the whole structure of the hotel, it gives you that rustic vibe and feel... and the shampoo!!! I think i'll be back just because of that shampoo they provide! haha The beds area amazingly soft, just enough to lay yourself down into deep sleep after a full night out, or to chillax at the pool after a full beach day. I strongly recommend renting a car at National by the airport, they are also friendly. The parking at the hotel is super convenient, and nearby. If you want a relaxing beach, where almost no one is around, Celestun is your spot. (progreso is too crowded). Plus, you'll see the flamingos and ojo de agua.

I do not recommend anyone to stay at this hotel. I rented two rooms (3&4) from July 23 to July 24, 2023. I found that the sheets were dirty, with a sweaty smell, and it was clear that they had not been changed since the previous guest. I had to call and ask for them to be changed. The pillows has a sweaty smell, and I found cockroaches in the room. The windows did not close properly, and mosquitoes entered the room. There were only 2 towels per room, and they were old and poorly washed. The toilets did not flush properly. The front desk staff were always friendly, but to anyone reading this review, I recommend that you do not take the risk and be lured by the offer or location. Do not come to this hotel, it is not worth it. We have been traveling the world for over ten years, and this is the worst hotel we have ever visited.
No recomiendo a nadie que se hospede en este hotel, Rente dos habitaciones (3&4) julio 23 hasta julio 24, 2023. Encontre que las sabanas estaban sucias , con olor a sudor, se notaba que las mismas que dejo el huesped anterior las dejaron puestas, tuve que llamar y pedir que me las cambiaran, las almoadas olian a sudor, encontre cucarachas en la habitacion, las ventanas no cerraban correctamente y entraban mosquitos en la habitacion, 2 toallas por habitacion y las mismas super viejas y mal lavadas, los hinodoros no descargaban.

We had a very pleasant stay at Casona 61. The boutique hotel is located within walking distance of restaurants, historic squares, and shopping.

It has a casual, friendly vibe. There’s a small but attractive pool, and several areas inside and out to sit and relax.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. They were always willing to help with recommendations for restaurants and activities, and to answer questions. They also provided us with cold bottled water whenever we asked for it. The housekeeping staff also stocks the rooms with bottled water each day.

We enjoyed a leisurely breakfast on the patio each morning, which was a nice way to start our day.

We stayed at Casona 61 for 7 nights, and recommend it to travelers looking for a friendly, comfortable hotel in Merida.

This hotel is a hidden gem about 3 city blocks from the main square in Merida. Andrea greeted us on arrival and turned out to be the best part of the whole place. She helped us book restaurants and massages, and directed us to experience the best of the area. She's the best! The hotel is nice and comfortable, and the Terrace room we had was spacious. There are NO ELEVATORS so you may not want to book the Terrace rooms as they are on the top floor and taking those stairs after a long hot day of exploring Merida was difficult. They brought us as much purified water as we could drink at no extra charge - VERY important. Suggestion: leave the air conditioner on low while patrons are away so the room is at least a little cooler upon returning. It was 100 degrees one of the days we were there. The pictures here are very accurate, and we would definitely stay here again. Some hotel exec needs to give Andrea a raise!

The bed is comfortable but when you lay down to sleep you stare at bright lights both on the TV and the cable box. The air conditioning unit is on the wall right above the headboard and is noisy for being that close. The little tub on the top floor of my room was a bust.

Absolutely loved this place. This place did not disappoint and was exactly as the pictures depicted if not a little better. The staff was so friendly and helpful. Arranged our Covid test for us and our early morning taxi. Was quick to respond to all our needs. The only reason I can’t give it 5 stars is because the towels were rough, and had some stains that weren’t coming out. The pillow cases also had some permanent stains on them as well. Also a full length mirror would have been great in there as well. But over all I have been recommending this location to all my friends!
