Best Campeche Hotels

My mom and I stayed two night in this hotel while we explored Campeche and the surrounding area. It was very clean and the staff were helpful and kind. The location is great in that it is just outside the city wall next to one of the entrances. Therefore, while it is a short, 5 minute walk to the cathedral and a tiny bit more to Calle 59 where many restaurants are, it is quieter to stay here than inside the walls. The rooms are very clean, simple but perfectly functional, and there was a partitioned, shared balcony for our room which gave us a lovely view of the park. The hotel offers a restaurant and room service. We utilized both and found the food to be very affordable but high quality and tasty. There are bell hops, front desk people, and a helpful concierge as well available at almost all hours. The pool outside is small and is accessed by a ladder (no steps) but there is a nice little sitting areas with shade next to it. The parking appears somewhat limited, so if you are driving here I'd speak to the hotel beforehand to make arrangements before your stay. Overall, we had a very good experience. I recommend this hotel for tourists or business people alike. There were some tourists like ourselves, but I saw a lot of guests who I would guess were Mexicans traveling for their work. In my experience, that's always a good indicator of a quality hotel, as those people are usually repeat customers.

Just a few weeks ago, my wife and I spent five nights at this hotel. In general, our stay was satisfactory. We enjoyed being close to the main plaza (4 blocks away), and the combined ceiling fan and air conditioner. As seniors we also appreciated the elevator. We did not have any problems with the WiFi, and liked the fact we could watch news channels on a large screen TV. The Hotel staff was gracious and very attentive to our questions, and it is common in Mexico, we were immediately approached by some staff with all sort of offers for private taxi services. Our room was good size, well appointed and very clean. We had no street noise problems at all. However, we would have preferred to have a good breakfast restaurant at the hotel instead of walking every day looking for a place open in the early morning. Yes, it is true that they suggest just walking a few steps to Hotel Plaza Campeche. This we did once and we were very disappointed, the breakfast food was not good enough for us. Hotel Plaza Colonial is at the moment a good place to stay in Campeche, and it could be a great place with a few improvements. Let me mention what those could be; a good breakfast service, a refit of their ancient plumbing systems, and better quality towels and toiletries.

Great location within the walls of the colonial city of Campeche. Our room was one floor above the lobby and this made it difficult to bring our luggage up without an elevator. The room was adequate with a stand alone closet and drawers for storage. Beds were decent. Our room overlooked Calle 12. The bathroom was tiny and dated. The shower cramped, awkward and dangerous entering or exiting as it is easy to slip on the wet floor. My travelling companion found the shower head to be too low. The most annoying aspect of our stay was the lack of privacy in that we could easily hear other guests' conversations, using their bathrooms, showers, etc. The hotel did include an American breakfast each morning in an adjacent dining room. The offering included three choices of cooked eggs, accompanied by white bread toast and choice of fruit of the day or orange juice. Orange juice is your best option. Of course, weak coffee was included with complimentary top up. The insult was asking for milk which cost an additional 20 pesos. Cheap in my opinion. My rating, a very dated 2 1/2 star tourist class hotel with its best advantage being location and off street parking (which we did not use). Service staff certainly tried their best and were happy to help which made our stay more bearable. There is also a small travel agency/tour office on site. We will stay elsewhere next time we visit the beautiful city of Campeche.
