Hotels in Downtown Cancun, Cancun

The Location is very good it you want to try the local cuisine. The staff was OK. They're helpful and might provide you with useful information if you are nice to them. The room was very clean and nice. A dark side is that the room didn't have a cooler. It is a little far form the clubs and beach area (20 min by bus or 10 by taxi). However the closest bus station from the hotel is almost 500 ft away. In General this hotel is an excellent combination of price and location. I'd totally recommend it.

The Ramada is the absolute cleanest budget hotel I have ever stayed at outside the U.S. It is located on a street that has nightlife almost until sunrise, but even with all the loud music in the neighborhood the hotel was absolutely quiet (my room was overlooking the pool away from the street). This is something the other hotels on Av. Yaxchilan cannot claim – check reviews for noise at Hotel Xbalamque and Caribe International. This hotel is a major renovation of the old Hotel Margaritas so it gives the appearance of a new building with an older layout. The lobby has a very small check-in desk. The hotel restaurant shares the lobby space. The elevator is new. Lobby walls and floors are white and cleanliness is apparent. The rooms have new beds and 26” flat-screen TVs. There were a few English TV channels but no news channel in English. The toilet was new and worked fine. Unfortunately, the renovation was only skin deep. The bathrooms have serious plumbing problems. In both rooms I stayed in the sinks did not drain properly and there was very low water pressure in the showers. More serious was the smell of rotten eggs in the water from the shower and sink. This offensive sulfur smell lasted the entire two weeks I stayed in the hotel. They did have hot water all day – something you don’t always find downtown. I switched rooms after a few days because I could not get a Wi-Fi signal in the first room. They know which rooms have strong signals so if this is important to you, ask for a room with strong Wi-Fi. In both rooms the wiring under the desk had two different wires joined with electrical tape and no wire nuts – you should be careful if you choose to sit at the desk! The courtyard with the pool is small and the building is five stories tall which means there are only 2 or 3 hours where the pool has sun. It looks like there are plans to expand the building on one wing with steel rebar coming out of the ground – you might want to make sure the building is not under construction during your visit. The maid service was very unreliable, even though there was an envelope provided for daily tips. Something was not replenished each day – be it non-decaf coffee, coffee stirrers, wash cloth, etc. One day the regular coffee that I didn’t use the prior day was replaced with two packs of decaf. Go figure. There are many local restaurants and clubs on the street and many more a short walk through the park near Av. Tulum. Waiters all speak English and the food is reasonably priced. The hotel restaurant is only open for breakfast. In short, the hotel is budget-priced and in a good location (if you prefer local restaurants and a small city environment to a beach setting). If you can get beyond the plumbing issues, you will enjoy this hotel and its neighborhood.

Wow, this hotel was not what i expected for the the money. Hotel was down the street from beach,clean,and a every good breakfast . I wouldn't look any where else for a hotel in cancun.

Great clean room, wonderful mexican breakfast,excellent price!!!

I was pleasantly surprised by the nice hotel in down town. Not on the beach but in an authentic part of town. Able to taxi any where and a block away from the bus route. Loved the food in the restaurant! Great service. Nice pool area! Would recommend for off the beach hotel.

everything was ok perfect service

It was a very good experience the hotel is very clean and close to the shopping mall this is not beach hotel but for expend the night is grat

The staff at this hotel are amazing. They were able to answer all of our questions truthfully, and guided us to some fantastic restaurants. They were also very helpful in acquiring a taxi for our return trip to the airport. The water from the tap is not safe to drink but they provide you with bottled water at no charge. They also have free internet available 24/7. It was an incredibly nice hotel that was definitely more affordable than an all-inclusive hotel!

I arrived late at night to find that they did not have my booking and the hotel was completely booked out. The woman at reception kept looking after everyone else instead of helping me because it was obviously too difficult for her and much easier to hand out keys to other people, so that I felt like I was invisible. It was probably the worst staff service I have ever experienced and the hotel was awful to boot. I would NOT recommend this place to anyone.

An economical way of spending couple nights in Cancun for poor students. The prices are cheap, and the staff are very friendly.

was ok for the price...should at least a microwave and a refrigerator....but you get what you pay for

I needed a hotel to sleep while I waited for my plane the next mourning. Too bad my stay was too short because the hotel invited me to spend more time. The hotel and the service was more than what I expected

Cadre agreable bon rapport qualite/ prix loin de l'ambiance des Ricains

Great old world experience The hotel is old but well maintained.Location is perfect for restraunts and shopping Located only two blocks from the bus station

Wanted something that wouldn't break the bank for a couple nights, and this fit the bill. Free internet (not wifi, but they'll loan you a cable for your room). Walking distance to several dining options. Overall a nice place to stay on a budget, away from the craziness that can be Cancun.

Very nice little hotel at great price.Room is modern clean with great location down the street from Mercado 28 and across the street from Oxxa convenience open 24 hours.Bus station is less then 10 minute walk and 30 minute walk to the Bullring. Staff is friendly and cleaning staff was excellent.

Excellent hôtel à tous points de vue. Cependant il a fallu beaucoup de patience au conducteur de taxi ainsi qu'à nous même car cet hôtel n'est pas connu sous le nom de MARGARITAS mais sous le nom d'hôtel RADISSON. Après avoir tenté plusieurs appels infructueux auprès de ses collegues taxis, nous avons fini par appeler l'hôtel qui nous a donné la réponse: Hôtel RADISSON....

I had booked a double room and the receptionist was going to give me a single room, and after I showed her the confirmation she got it right but she didnt believe at first

私はレンタカーだったので、交通手段は困りませんでしたがレンタカーでない場合には非常に苦労しただろうと思います。空港に着いて1泊した後はホテルゾーンに移動しました。 安いので、宿泊するだけなら内装が綺麗で問題無いです。

the hotel is okay but rooms need to be upgrade.

We were kind of hesitant to stay at Dos Playas because of some of the reviews we read but we decided to take our chances. Everything was great. It was a great view, location and atmosphere all together. It's right in the middle of everything. The staff was very helpful and it was very secure. The only downside was that you needed your room key to have power, so everytime we left the room for a walk it would get hot. We would definitely stay there again.

The location in the center of the downtown area was very nice. Restaurants and activities in every direction from the front door. The service was friendly and we didn't have any trouble getting what we needed. The internet worked well. We didn't have towels at first, though they showed up after a few hours. The price was much better than the hotel zone, under $50(US) for us during a busy time. Main complaint is that we didn't have hot water, just cool and cold. That certainly took away from the experience. Also the breakfast seemed quite thrown together, but at least there was something.

Good value for the money. It looked like a hidey-hole from the outside, but the inside is quite nice. The staff are friendly. I gather they also have a pool out back, but we just stayed to catch the early plane home, and the early bus on the way to our destination. We stayed twice, and will stay there again. They serve a Mexican breakfast downstairs every morning- reasonable price.

Situation parfaite si on n'a pas de voiture. L'hotel se trouve à 100m de la gare routiere mais aussi sur un grand carrefour très bruyant. Chambre propre mais douche sans pression donc difficile de se laver correctement Petit déjeuner correct Réception moyenne, bien que prépayée il a fallu batailler pour le prouver et ne pas payer 2 fois.
