What guests think

Hotel Ilunion Mérida Palace stands out for its superb central location in a beautiful historic building, spacious comfortable rooms, and consistently friendly staff, while recurring drawbacks include occasional bathroom drain odors, square-facing noise, spotty Wi‑Fi, and some HVAC issues.

Access by car can be tricky, but valet parking is widely used and off‑site for a fee. A small rooftop pool with views is appreciated; the gym and the on‑site bar/restaurant feel limited in hours or scope. Breakfast is frequently praised, though a few guests found it busy or basic. Expect a characterful, centrally placed base that prioritizes convenience and atmosphere.

The hotel is beautiful, the room was very comfortable with bath sheets and a large well equipped bathroom. Staff are friendly and helpful in English. The location is superb. We used the car valet for parking at a cost of 25 euro - we were told to give 30 minutes notice when we were ready for it. It took them 1 hour 10 minutes to bring us the car from the time I gave notice which meant we had a late start to our day of travel. This put a damper on our opinion of the hotel

A great choice for exploring Merida. It’s not quite the 5 star hotel it’s listed as on some sites, but it is still excellent. Nice big rooms with character and good bathrooms. The pool is lovely (it’s also green: perfectly safe and lots of people were in it, but it was green). The bar isn’t a bar - it’s a cafe and it’s not open that late (for Spain) but that doesn’t really matter a the square out front has loads of bars. Stored my luggage on check out fine. Online check in didn’t work but front desk were good/quick. 15 minutes walk from bus station, 10 from train station, easy walk to the Roman theatre and other sites.

En general, la calidad del hotel es satisfactoria. Sin embargo, me gustaría señalar una preocupación significativa con respecto al horario de disponibilidad del gimnasio. Actualmente, el servicio está accesible a partir de las 9:00 AM (esta información no estaba disponible en la pagina de hoteles.com), lo cual considero inapropiado para huéspedes en viaje de negocios, quienes a esa hora ya se encuentran, por lo general, cumpliendo con sus compromisos laborales. Para mí, la disponibilidad de un gimnasio con un horario más amplio es un factor determinante al elegir alojamiento. Debido a esta limitación específica, y a pesar de los aspectos positivos del hotel, dudo que considere hospedarme aquí nuevamente en futuras ocasiones.

Lovely room, great location, super welcoming staff. I give this a 10. If managers want to improve, my ideas: * Redecorate the courtyard; it needs coherence. * Remodel the dining room to give it warmth. * In the bathtub in room 118 when you lie back in the water and look up at what I think are heating elements (white tubes) you see ugly rust-colored goo. Clean this up, because it mars what is otherwise an impeccable and gorgeous bathroom.

This was a lovely hotel in a lovely location. Great staff. I would give it five stars but it was only slightly let down by two things: a) The hotel is RIGHT on the main square of old-town Merida. A great location for sure but there is quite a bit of noise associated with the opening and closing of the bars on the square b) I’m not sure if it was just my room but my bathroom had VERY smelly drains. It’s an old historic building I know but….Someone sensitive might need to change rooms. I did my best to ignore it.

The location of the property is wonderful, right in the middle of the main plaza. It’s a hit and miss with the rooms. Our air conditioner was not cooling. We had to be moved to another room. The second room had air but it smelled like pure cigarettes. The view was a rock wall with metal bars. But if you happen to get a room on the newer side of the hotel consider yourself lucky.

Hotel was built on/around the site of a palace with historic stone walls/etc. Our room looked out on the city square through a stone window that you could sit in which was amazing. This coupled with the steps that led down from the bathroom to the bedroom made our visit particularly memorable.

Hotel Amazing. Loved it. Really A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Price is an absolute steal. All the details of a 5 star hotel at a 3 hotel price. But they scratched front door of my car in several places (right one). Tiny scratches but there they are. Car had NO single scratch anywhere on arrival. N-O-N-E. I am very fond of my cars, wash them myself by hand to avoid swirls. They are a GREAT hobby of mine. Guilty: Petrolhead over here. On retourn the staff would park it a few meters away down the road stating there where no free parking slots in front of the hotel. (There where actually two). Refused to charge the extra hours of parking in the afternoon for a couple of hours past 12 o'clock and diligently took my luggage down the road 15 meters to the car. I just thought it was a way to get a nice tip. (Which I under this circumstances gave). Unfortunately I didn't inspect the car and did not look at the right front door as it was parked against the wall. (First things I would have seen if it had been parked in the sun in a lot in front of the hotel). Only noticed at the petrol station afterwards. Can't proove it of course. Ruined my stay. I do have a full insurance but you never know if you paint one door if it will be the exact same shade as the complete car. So repainting it might be worse then the scratches. Had planned a short trip a WE back..Don't think I will.
