This is a beautifully converted convent - on a street that doesn't look much at all (close to the Zocalo) and has you wondering as you walk down it, but then you turn into a lovely courtyard and hotel. Restaurant has a nice setting within this, we only ate breakfast there but that was pretty good. Service was very good and helpful, and the rooms themselves were fairly nice. Took a bit of time for hot water to come out of the shower, but plenty when it did. Only minor drawback is that as the rooms are set round the second courtyard, it can get a bit noisy if people are up early or round the pool when you are trying to have a lie-in!

On our recent first visit to Merida, we stayed at a wonderful and unusual hotel called La Mision de Fray Diego. The hotel contains one of the most beautifully designed court yards in the city, the location was perfect, the rooms were atmospheric and comfortable, and the staff are really something to rave about. On the day before we were scheduled to leave, our room safe malfunctioned and would no longer open with our security code. I simply cannot say enough positive things about the respone and concerns of the staff. It took the services of a special locksmith to open the safe and the staff was absolutely wonderful in dealing with the problem. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Merida.

Our group of 8 had a very good experience at this hotel. We found the rooms to clean and comfortable. The small courtyard setting was very relaxing contrast to the busy streets. The restaurant was convenient and very nice, with good service and variety. The location two blocks for the central square made for easy access to many of the historical sites.

Mérida escale obligée de tous les voyageurs au Yucatan est une grande ville, avec une grosse circulation automobile et donc plein de bruits. Dans une petite rue largement fréquentée par tous les bus du coin, s’ouvre une porte en bois clouté : bienvenue au calme d’un immeuble du 17è siècle très joliment restauré dans l’esprit d’une mission religieuse. Si vous arrivez en voiture, pas de soucis, un voiturier s’en occupe immédiatement. Dans un premier patio arboré et agrémenté d’une fontaine, se trouve le bar, avec quelque tables pour le petit déjeuner ou pour dîner tranquille. Au fond, vous attend la réception. Vous serez reçu dans cette maison avec courtoisie et on vous guidera vers votre chambre en passant dans un 2è patio. Les chambres sont distribuées par des coursives sur 2 cotés du patio dans l’esprit d’un cloître religieux. L’esprit monacal inspire le lieu, calme et serein, ce qui n’empêche pas la jouissance de la piscine au centre de ce patio verdoyant. La clientèle est discrète et sympathique. Les chambres ne sont pas très grandes mais agréablement meublées, la salle de bain est fonctionnelle, des draps de bains mis à disposition pour la piscine bien agréable après une journée de visite. La nourriture à l’hôtel même est un peu décevante et le service lymphatique. Sortez donc à pied, plein de petits restaurants vous attendent en ville. Dans cette ville, cet hôtel constitue une excellente surprise et une halte bien agréable que je vous recommande sans réserves.

The tour group selected this hotel and we stayed for 10 days. It is a gem. It is an old well-kept mansion with a beautiful patio and nice rooms looking at two nice courtyards. The service is excellent and the restaurant is wonderful. We were there when the weather was cool so we did not use the pool but it looked great. I looked at other hotels in downtown Merida and this is by far the nicest. It is about three blocks from the main plaza and the street it is located on is old and somewhat dilapidated but we always felt safe and had no problem going back and forth. The nice atmosphere of the hotel makes up for the small inconvenience of the location.
