Great Hotel!
Great service, super quiet room, comfortable king bed, nice bathroom amenities, great breakfast included. Location is close to the airport but also conveniently located near the historic center. Highly recommend!

Will come back to Unknown Hotel
Beautiful hotel, staff was very friendly and the pool in the room was the highlight of our trip. The hotel is a bit far from Plaza Central (about 20 min walk), just to keep in mind. Rooms are spacious and bed was comfortable. Breakfast were basic and small portion but Plaza de Santiago is just 2 blocks from the hotel with the best tacos/tortas of cochinita and lechón great for breakfast. It's a must!

The hotel was clean and well equipped. The staff was very friendly. The included breakfast was also okay - nothing special, but everything you needed. We would definitively come back!

Great choice
We returned to this small and welcoming hotel and it felt like coming home. Not ultra fancy but stylishly decorated with a lot of tasteful wood accents. Really very nice and well located, close to the Santiago Park and very walkable to the main plaza and other parks. Staff very friendly. Many rooms have a little dipping pool and there is a mid sized central one on the grounds which we've always had to ourselves. The restaurant is small but pleasant and the lobby counter extends into a small bar where they'll serve you a drink. TV, safe, coffee service, all fine. Only things I'll mention are no fridge (seems common) and the pathway to rooms is sort of like railway ties, not sure how easily a wheelchair navigates the path.

kind of a hidden gem. stylish design, lots of plants and comfortable. you’re about 15-20 minutes🚶from everything—which is a lot in merida’s punishing climate— but that distance keeps things quiet at night. a trade-off i’m good with.
Mario, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Breakfast is so so at best. Good luck if you are vegetarian or vegan. They seem understaff in the restaurant, it was slower and the cook was also waitress!

The Perfect Getaway
Hotel Unknown is one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in. The rooms are huge, incredibly clean, and come with a separate living area. The "Standard Room" should be called the "Standard Suite." It comes with a small private garden. The room comes with solid furniture. Honestly, it's better than the pictures and rivals what I've seen in four and five star luxury hotels. The staff are very friendly and helpful and give you plenty of privacy. It's in a quiet, artsy, safe neighborhood close to the central area. There are some great cafes and restaurants very close by. The hotel allows pets. If that bothers you, you might want to ask them to put you in a room away from the lobby. The breakfast consists of a small fruit plate, eggs, and tortillas. We loved the place and can't wait to go back. If you like small boutique hotels, this place is *perfect*.

Great hotel for a romantic getaway
The hotel is beautiful and we recommended specially for couples. Is quiet and cozy, very romantic. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Do not be put off by the exterior of the street, once you are inside is very nice. Our room had its own private pool and it was really nice. The only possible downside is that is about a 15 minute walk from downtown or a 8 dollar UBER ride. We chose to walk and it was not bad at all. About two blocks from the hotel is the Mercado de Santiago where you can find good food at very affordable prices.

8/10 Very good

This hotel is beautiful! It’s wonderfully maintained and really easy to find parking, also rather quiet compared to the city center. I will say, this is not their fault but they might want to consider redoing the doors or adding bug nets- I found a huge cockroach in my room one night and saw another going under the door to another room. It’s kinda unavoidable in the tropical climate but it would be helpful if the doors didn’t have huge gaps! In any case, it was a beautiful space and I would stay here again!

Nice place in a convenient location
Pleasant small hotel, well maintained with friendly staff. We ate at the restaurant one evening and it really delivered on the local specialties. The immediate area of the hotel is quiet and residential but you are a few quick blocks from Santiago park, which had food, dancing, great desserts etc

Rustic, airy feeling smack in the middle of town.
The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The rooms are rustic but very comfortably appointed, firm beds and first class linens. The food is great and micheladas are the best. Nice and clean facility overall. A feeling of airiness in the middle of Merida. And absolutely safe.

This is a hidden gem in a very quiet neighborhood. Worth going for the art alone. It just feels good to be somewhere beautiful where you can feel the attention to detail. And the pool is fantastic beat the heat! Special thanks to the staff who were patient with me and let me practice Spanish with them. Truly it’s the only way to learn and it meant the world!

Unknown slice of heaven!
It truly was the unknown and then you walk through a door into heaven! I had to remind myself that I had not left Mérida! We switched from busy Paseo de Montejo area to the quiet, peaceful neighborhood of Santiago. We booked a room with a private pool & loved the peaceful small, but perfect outdoor space. The 2 bedroom was perfect for our family of 3 adults. The staff was very accommodating and helpful. One thing to note is there are a few somewhat strict rules: only one coffee pod per person/per day. Breakfast is one drink, coffee refill is extra. Be sure if you book online that your reservation has the correct number of guests. There was a little glitch with that on check in, but the staff was patient and very helpful to straighten it out. Breakfast is good! Fruit plate & eggs prepared to order! We had wonderful massages at the spa here too! There is a photo in the lobby showing what the place looked like before they renovated it! Amazing! It is truly an oasis in the city. My only complaint, but not really a complaint, is the beds are a bit hard. We still slept well because it was quiet and turned the ceiling fan on and the door with screen open to our pool. Woke up to the birds singing in the morning. We even extended our stay here! I highly recommend Hotel Unknown! It will soon be known!

Beautiful, clean small hotel. Our room was very well designed and the swimming pool outside perfect for the hot weather. We also had a small private dipping pool. Loved this hotel and would definitely come back!

One of the best hotels during my 3 weeks trip to Mexico! The room is big and clean, I love the style and furniture. The Wifi connection was great, pool a bit too hot but ok. It's 10 minutes walking from the city center, so you'll walk home after dinner in dark small streets, but I was feeling safe. Definitely recommended!
