How can I get cheap hotels in Mérida?

Best tips to find a cheap hotel in Mérida

  1. If you're looking to travel to Mérida on a budget, you'll be happy to know that you can find hotels for as low as $70. Of course, that price is affected by amenities, star rating, and even the time of year you visit. At most, hotel prices can be as high as $117. Staying a short amount of time in Mérida is an effective way to reduce hotel costs.

  2. When you cut your vacation down to just a few days, you don't have to worry as much about hotel prices since you don't have that many nights to stay. For budget hotels in Mérida, 3 to 4 days should be all the nights you need. That's generally enough to enjoy the city's top attractions, though there's certainly enough to do to warrant a week-long trip.

  3. When booking cheap hotel rooms in Mérida, it's typically best to book about 3 weeks in advance. Book further in advance than that and you could be paying too much for your room, as hotels will often overestimate future demand. However, if you wait too long, you might find that the hotel has been completely booked.

  4. When you utilize search filters on Expedia, you'll be able to narrow down your results in a flash. These search filters cover a wide variety of factors you may be interested in when it comes to finding a cheap hotel in Mérida, including amenities such as Free Breakfast, 2-star rating, or proximity to local attractions. You can even set filters for price limits to ensure that all the displayed results are within your budget.

What free activities should we do in Mérida?

Couples can begin their exploration in the historic Centro, where architectural beauty and cultural events abound.

On Sundays, the Plaza Grande transforms into a lively cultural hub with the "Mérida en Domingo" event, offering free live music, traditional dances, and local artisan markets—great for an evening of entertainment.

Beyond the main square, explore the Paseo de Montejo, Mérida's most elegant avenue, lined with stunning European-style mansions from the city's henequen boom era. Couples can enjoy a leisurely walk or bike ride (rentals are available, but walking is free.) down this picturesque street, admiring the architecture and often encountering free art exhibitions or street performances. The Monumento a la Patria, at the northern end of the Paseo de Montejo, is another impressive landmark worth visiting.
