What guests think

At Hotel Doralba Inn, travelers highlight the central, walkable location and budget-friendly, colonial setting with a pleasant pool, while feedback often notes older facilities, worn mattresses, and a very simple included breakfast that seldom varies.

Guests frequently describe staff as friendly and helpful, though a few report slow check in or less attentive service at night. Cleanliness and maintenance feel inconsistent, with reports of mold, pests, AC or hot water issues, intermittent Wi‑Fi, and occasional pool upkeep, while parking is limited and the immediate streets can be busy, noisy, or scruffy. Expect a basic, centrally located stay that suits budget travelers prioritizing location over modern comforts.

La alberca está en mantenimiento pero no te avisan. Te dan chance de usar la de otro hotel pero hay que caminar bajo el calorón o pagar taxi. El desayuno es una broma. La gente que trabaja ahi no es del todo amable y finalmente me robaron unos tenis. El teléfono jamás lo contestan. Nunca volvería.

We have stayed at this hotel several times now. I was disappointed to have the pool closed for maintenance the 3 days we were there. Hopefully next time it will be open. As we were looking forward too cooling down in the Merida temperatures.

The hotel needs an urgent update, the bed sheets, towels provided are old and falling apart. The washer and dryer do not always work, you pay for it and they don’t reimburse the money when they break down. What makes worth the stay is the people who works there, they are underpay but always willing to help and greet you with a smile.

Cynthia at the front desk was outstanding! She was very helpful and always pleasant. The room was clean as was all the common areas. The hotel itself needs some updating. The pool was nice to swim in although it seemed to have way too much chlorine. It was nice to have breakfast included although the meal itself could use some updating and daily variety. I would stay here again if only visiting for a day or two. The hotel is in a central location, walking to restaurants and activities is easy.

Das Zimmer wurde stark vernachlässigt und hatte viel Schimmel an der Wand zum Bad. Es roch dementsprechend auch nach Schimmel. Der Ventilator funktionierte auch nicht richtig. Das Frühstück kann ich nicht beurteilen, weil mir gesagt wurde, es gebe nur Eier. Das Zimmer ist aufgrund der Bauweise auch sehr hellhörig.

INFESTADA DE CUCARACHAS, EVITAR HOSPEDARSE AQUÍ. Mi acompañante y yo no pudimos dormir por que las cucarachas empezaron a salir en la habitación en la noche, salieron en el baño, la cama, las paredes y los muebles. Se metieron a nuestros artículos personales y ropa. Fue horrible. Además las sábanas de una cama estaban sucias, con manchas de comida y cabellos. La antigüedad de la propiedad no justifica que se tenga que dormir en condiciones insalubres. El personal es muy amable pero nada pueden hacer para eliminar las cucarachas ya que están por todos lados. Por supuesto no comimos su desayuno para evitar enfermar. Hay servicio de guarda equipaje y puedes usar las instalaciones comunes (alberca) si llegas antes de la hora del check in. La alberca no la usamos. La ubicación es cerca de las calles donde se encuentran los taxis (camionetas van colectivas), aunque esa parte del centro es muy sucia y nada bonita.

For the price point there's a lot to love and little to complain about. While it may be a bit dated it holds nice colonia style, the property and the rooms are very clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful. You're very close to all the action but I will note the streets are very busy in this area for pedestrians and cars. You're very close to all the action and amenities in and around the main plaza. Beds were comfortable and we enjoyed our stay. We would book it again.

The hotel was not bad but the room felt dirty the towels were stained the sheets were stained.the pillows smelled bad and there was no tv service. It was out of the way and at night there was nothing to do. But what really disappointed was the notice that was at the door that said the charges if you stained their towels or sheets We came Here because they said their breakfast was really good and it was not! The hotel has potential but it definitely misses the mark. Had to book a different hotel.

Nice place to stay. The paintings in the lobby gave it a lovely charm. Simple rooms for the budget conscious. Located near the cathedral which was nice. The beds were VERY hard which was the only downside. Breakfast is uninspired but edible (scrambled eggs and pasta or rice). The pool was nice and they let us bring our own beverages and food which was great. If they can fix the beds, it’d be a good stay!

En lo general buena ubicación, cerca de la plaza grande, cerca de tiendas de conveniencia y del mercado. Respecto al desayuno incluido creo que debería de variar y no siempre los mismo e incluir un poco de fruta. El tema de las calles aledañas al hotel es que estan sucias. No es problema del hotel pero al ser una zona sercana a la plaza debería de estar más limpio.

They will only provide 2 small towels and are not good at providing more unless u give them back asap, weird. Even though breakfast is included it’s very limited and cold. No bar or food accommodation in area or convenient restaurants near . I would stay closer to Montejo area.
