A Perfect Stay! I had an amazing experience. Everything about this hotel was exceptional—beautifully designed rooms, excellent amenities, and an unbeatable location.

This is my 3rd visit to Hotel Marionetas. The staff and attention is excellent! The rooms are comfortable and in the heat - the air conditioning was great! I would like to see them improve their breakfast by perhaps adding a few more egg options and tortillas! Tortillas are essential in Mexico!!

Lovely little hotel. Lots of open spaces filled with plants and rooms tucked here and there. A chef who makes even a simple breakfast a nice meal. A short 3 blocks to Paseo Montejo, and less than one block to the hot Salsa Dance bar and restaurant. Ditch the elevators and long hallways of you chain hotel and try this pleasant surprise.

Delightful! The staff is wonderful. Very clean and fantastic location. Wonderful shower. La Negrita down the street has hopping amazing live music — but stopped promptly at 10 every night. Very quiet. We never used a taxi, just walked everywhere. Our room was slightly monastic because it was not a garden room (only the most basic room was available), but perfectly pleasant.

The hotel is very nice and there is beautiful restaurants and boutiques in the area. But the service could be better. The breakfast is not as advised. We got 4-5 Small slices of fruit and two eggs in a plate, nothing else. I would recommend not taking the breakfast.

El hotel es lindo, tiene spots muy bonitos y por el precio estoy satisfecha, la alberca tiene buen tamaño pequeña pero linda, no la usamos pero es buena amenidad. Buena ubicación se puede caminar a otros puntos sin mover el auto, el estacionamiento tiene costo 120 pesos por día justo enfrente. El único inconveniente fue la atención del recepcionista que me recibió, cortante y frío, cerca de lo grosero.

El lugar es bonito, buen mantenimiento y bien cuidado, el desayuno es continental, muy limitado, deja mucho que desear, ya que en la descripción especifica desayuno completo! El persona no es amable y poco servicial. A mi llegada estuve tocando el timbre por más de 10 minutos a 38°sin nadie que abriera, finalmente alguien abrió diciendo que solo tenía que empujar la puerta porque por el calor la cierran, esto fue una muy mala experiencia ya que iba con mi hija de 10 años.
