Hotels Near The Sea Gate in Campeche

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.

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.

Stayed here for 1 night on a grand tour of Mexico, the hotel is attractive and rustic looking and is located close to the centre of the old city. Check in was great with fluent English and was offered a choice of rooms with explanations of pros and cons for each. We were in a standard room which was generous in size with 2 slightly larger double beds which is disappointing if used to sleeping with your partner. The room had a wardrobe and safe, desk and storage and a good size bathroom with basic toiletries. We had an American Breakfast included which meant fruit, toast with jam and a choice of either egg with meat or pancakes. There is a small pool area / plunge pool in the rear. Although this in any country is a 3* at best I give this 5 out 5 because it was clean and well maintained and the service was excellent. The key didn't work so the bell boy got it corrected and then fixed an issue with safe...all under 4 minutes and never had an issue afterwards. Overall a safe choice and is walking distance to all the bars, shops and restaurants in the old walls.

Muy buena ubicación, en el interior de la ciudad amurallada. Habitacion muy amplia con balcón y aire acondicionado. Gigantesca pantalla de televisión con usuario de Netflix. Dos amplias camas muy cómodas. Ofrecen pan dulce en la mañana y una fuente de agua mineral donde rellenar el bidón con agua fría a cualquier hora. Hay un pequeño patio con la típica pintura color albero de Campeche.

We arrived in Campeche late in the evening after a five hour drive from Chetumal and were exhausted. We had read good reviews about the Holiday Inn so we stopped for an overnight. We paid at the front desk and went to sleep. Next morning we saw that we were charged $20.00 more than what was advertised on various hotel booking sites so we went down to the front desk and asked them if they would lower the rate to what was on the sites, we would like to stay another night. They refused. This upset us a bit because these hotels always say to book directly through them to get the best rate! At any rate..the pluses: Great breakfast, clean view with a beautiful view. Helpful concierge and bell service. Just wish the front desk had been a bit more helpful. We ended up going to a beautiful B&B in the historic district for half the price.
