The location is very good, very close to the ADO

- • Although I booked a room for 4 people, I constantly had to request enough soap, shampoo, or towels for the 4 of us. Besides, there were small cockroaches coming out from behind the toilet.

Good value for money but...
Very central to the ADO bus terminal, and it's about a 15-minute walk to the downtown area where everything is. It also has several nearby shuttle stops.

- • At least the room I got, the bed base was still holding up but looked very bad. The TV was flat, yes, but of questionable quality and there were only a few channels. The air conditioning was a window unit, it worked but I expected something a bit better.
Charge for a double room for a single

- • I booked a room with two beds through Booking because the option for a single room was not available. When I arrived at the hotel, they changed me to a single room but charged me the rate for the double room I had reserved. If they had refunded me the price difference or explained why it wasn't possible, I wouldn't have had any issues. I believe this aspect could be handled with more transparency.

Hotel OK for the price but do not book with breakfast - it's a disaster!
The room was okay for the price, the air conditioning was more than enough - it was over 30 degrees outside but the air conditioning kept the room very cool. In fact, I had to turn off the air conditioning at night because it was too cold to sleep in the room. Unfortunately, it was not possible to lower the air conditioning, so I had to turn it off completely. The room had no windows, and possibly because of this, it stayed cool all night despite the air conditioning being off. The bed was comfortable, the room was clean. Excellent location - close to the historic center of Merida and just across from the ADO bus station. I booked this hotel because of its location and partly because I wanted to experience Mexico's budget hotels.

- • The electricity went off once - it was completely dark in a room with no windows - luckily it happened in the afternoon just after check-in. I didn't plan to stay in the room at that time - I just went out to see the historic center and don't know how long the outage lasted. However, the biggest disappointment was the breakfast. The hotel advertises a good breakfast, so I booked the room with breakfast included. Now, in terms of price comparison - the hotel cost $21 per night - the breakfast for that morning cost more than the room itself - it was around $23. For that price of $23 in European hotels at breakfast, you can expect a buffet breakfast with all kinds of food available: cooked food, cold meats, pastries, fruits, etc. In the Hotel Espanol, there was no buffet breakfast available - when I entered the restaurant in the morning, it was all empty - no guests, no staff, and no food whatsoever. I asked where the breakfast was, and the staff showed me the menu list with prices included. I explained that I had already paid for the breakfast on booking.com. At that point, they showed me that I had paid for a continental breakfast - I don't really recall that the breakfast I booked was a continental one. In any case, even with a continental breakfast for that price in other hotels, you usually have a buffet breakfast with all sorts of meats, breads, spreads, and pastries. What the staff served me in this hotel was only 2 American pancakes with a drop of maple syrup! The other available option was toast with jam! No tea available, no orange or apple juice. I had to order coffee, but the coffee they serve is undrinkable. Honestly, it was the worst coffee I ever had - very sour, which could not be improved with any amount of sugar. After that breakfast, I was still very hungry and had to go to the bus station where I could only buy sandwiches (there is a Subway restaurant at the station, but weirdly enough they were open but not serving food even though it was as late as 9 am.)
