Hotel Casa San Ángel

I’m writing this as a local.This is my go to when I want old world elegance and tranquility. Mexican food, great waiters, and very fair prices. Willie, Octavio, Fabio all are wonderful, the food excellent, chilaquiles, ensalada, galletas but the other day I had a coffee and I don’t usually as I drink decaf but I had a high test coffee and OMG it was worth it. Probably the best coffee I’ve had in a very long time. Go here. It’s a small boutique hotel with a great restaurant on the main level and TBH I see mainly locals in the restaurant and that’s always a good sign.

Beautiful place to stay in Merida. The rooms are nice, clean and comfortable. The staff were helpful and gentle. The only concern about the hotel is located next to a bar, they play music out loud at night and the rooms are not noise proof. I couldn’t sleep two nights during the weekend.

Bigotry prejudice and discrimination by a single individual makes this an unfriendly place to stay. After three nights the best moment was leaving. Physically a charming boutique hotel, but I suggest readers find a friendlier place to stay.

My wife and I spent two wonderful weeks at Mérida’s Hotel Casa San Ángel in February 2025. The profuse and carefully -tended vegetation in the atrium made it hard to remember we were in the center of a city of a million people. Cozy rockers in the hallway surrounding the patio invited daydreaming, reading, and enjoying the play of light on the plants. | Our bed was comfortable. The AC and fan worked flawlessly. Water pressure in the shower was strong. | A good restaurant, Tala, is attached to the hotel, and a continental breakfast—with excellent coffee, freshly-baked bread, and fruit—was included in the room rate. We gladly paid extra for supplementary dishes, such as Tala’s award-winning huevos motuleños, tricolor enchiladas, and crepes. Upon returning from breakfast, we always found our bed made and fresh towels hung. ¡Grácias, Cristina y María!| The bilingual receptionists took our laundry each morning and returned it, air-dried, that afternoon. They graciously complied with unusual requests, e.g. finding a yoga mat to lend. They ordered taxis that showed up within a few minutes, and that charged no more than those I hailed on the street. They arranged two low-cost and wonderful cenotes tours—one of them at the last minute.| All of the staff were warm and friendly. We loved Mérida, and our stay at this hotel was the best part of it.

We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. The hotel is perfectly located for anyone who wants to explore and enjoy Mérida: it stands at the southern end of Paseo Montejo so the restaurants, pubs, museums, and other entertainment along the Paseo are only a short walk away. A wealth of other restaurants, pubs, shops, and museums are only short walks away in other directions.||Entering the main atrium feels like walking into a sanctuary. You’re surrounded by plants, the sound of water from a small central fountain; warm, earth-tones paint the walls; welcoming seats and tables provide shadowed places to lounge when the temperatures get warm. The staff are welcoming and wonderfully helpful. Everything is clean.||Our room (101) was fantastic: clean, spacious, sunny, with a very comfortable bed, comfortably air conditions, and a relaxing shower. As a bonus, the room had a Mayan hammock made of sikal but be warned: my wife and I both thought it was the most comfortable hammocks we’ve ever rested in but it’s only large enough for one.||If we visit Mérida again, this hotel would be our first choice as a place to stay.

Best hotel we’ve stayed at in the Yucatán so far. The lobby is so charming and the staff were all helpful and polite. The handmade market is also great for gifts. 100% will be returning.

I absolutely adored every aspect of this place! The location couldn't be more perfect, nestled in a vibrant area that makes exploring effortless. The decorations are stunning, with a delightful blend of styles that create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The service was exceptional, with attentive staff who went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. Overall, it was a fantastic experience!

This hotel has a special ambiance and very “Mexican” feel. Location is excellent and employees at front desk are very nice and ready to help with questions and tours. Rooms are very clean and air conditioning was working great very necessary as Mérida is very very hot and humid|Take insect repellent as there are lots of mosquitoes if you seat outside your room. I felt breakfast offered left a lot to be desired. A cup of coffee one piece pastry and a couple of thin pieces fruit. Restaurant closes very early so no room service. Pillows are very very hard. But service front desk and location make up for all this

Best coffee spot in Merida. Breakfast was amazing and the hotel lobby is beautiful. Highly recommend this boutique hotel and restaurant

Beautiful property with attentive service. We felt like guest at a home staying here. The property is spacious, bright and very secure. Our room was bright and comfortable. We stayed one night in a downstairs suite and liked our regular room much better. Because the suite was on the ground floor, opening the wooden window for light would eliminate our privacy. The room above was very bright, private and spacious. Great shower pressure in the bathroom. The property is filled with greenery. We liked seeing and hearing the owner's birds in the lobby during the daytime. The restaurant is beautiful and upscale. The dishes were unique including: Iced Coffee (house specialty) Eggs Motuleños (house specialty) Cold cucumber soup (house specialty)

The review is for the restaurant - We met some new friends for Sunday brunch here. We started with a nice basket of breads and pastries and some great coffee. My huevos mexicana was perfect and service was exceptional - our waiter always seemed to appear just at the right time to take our orders and coffee refills. This is a great place to enjoy a leisurely meal and relax.
