Castelmar is located in one of the many beautiful neoclassical buildings that characterize the old town of Campeche. While unfortunately the sea has withdrawn several hundred meters, and what you have in front of you is no longer the Gulf of Mexico but the federal government building, the charm of the hotel lies in its interior. The patio is lovely... more

What a treat it was to stay at this hotel. The service was beyond excellent. The bell captain paralleled parked our car, the manager sent a staff member two blocks down the street to get us a large bag of ice-And there was No Charge for it. Campeche is my new favorite city in the Yucatan. It has the ambiance... more

I totally agree with all the other reviews. This hotel was indeed very good. The nicest hotel we had in Mexico (visited 8 different hotels). Lovely nice painted rooms, with a high ceiling. The bathroom was perfectly decorated and the shower was terrific. After an half hour you still don''t want to get out of the shower:-). Airco in the... more

Good room, proper beds, great shower. Nice pool. Great location. Highly recommended! Stayed for one night, were passing through. Perhaps I should have stayed longer? more

I loved, loved, loved this hotel! I wish I could have stayed more than the one night I was there! I traveled all over the Yucatan and have to say this was my favorite! Campeche is a great city and very easy to navigate-not too big. And let me say, the hotel's pool was perfect after a hot day of... more

We stayed in this hotel in mid May, 2009 and loved it. We had a suite which was only about $10 more a night, surely worth it. Nice big room and bathroom, very clean, small veranda. Easy wireless internet access. The pool is small but not used much and also very clean. If you like a rustic, old world atmosphere... more

In all of my travels during my 18 months living in Mexico, I haven't seen a nicer place for such a great price. The Castelmar was absolutely the highlight of our trip to Tabasco and Campeche. The rate we got, 700 pesos a night ($52), was probably lower than normal because of the swine flu craze- but even at the... more

On our trip through Mexico this was the hotel with the lowest price and with an excellent value. Check in was done very fast and our baggage was taken from the car directly to the room. We received two vouchers for the breakfast the next morning which was a small buffet in the patio of the hotel. (more continental but... more

Can't beat location; very clean rooms; pleasant, open courtyard; parking on street right outside of hotel was fine; friendly staff; small, well maintained pool; b-fast not included (didn't eat there); bathroom a bit small but fine; we had street-side room w/small balcony w/lots of street noise (and noisy birds flocking in nearby trees!), but quiet mostly at night; interior rooms... more
