Very clean, comfortable, charming hotel close to all of Campeche's (rather limited) attractions. Authentic colonial atmosphere and helpful staff--aside from the desk clerk who told me that she didn't know where any gyms in town were and then, the next morning, after I'd done my own research, was able to tell me the exact location of a closer one of... more

Our 2 nights stay in Castelmar were really good. This is an attractive hotel! Rooms might appear big and impressive with high ceilings, but as a general comment, those are really comfortable. Nice breakfast in the patio, with the blue sky on top of our heads... more

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 While unfortunately the sea has withdrawn several hundred meters, and what you have in front of you is no longer the Gulf of Mexico but the federal government building, the charm of the hotel lies in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
