Well located hotel in Campeche. Nice pool to cool off in. Rooms are a bit dated and the mattress was hard but all in all a good stay.

Gamma Campeche Malecón
The location is great, just between the Malećon and Puerta de Mar. It's not noisy at all but very walkable to the malećon and centro. The room is clean and spacious and you can store your luggage for free before your check-in time.

Hotel Boutique Casa Lanz XVII
Loacation is awesome just in the middle of the fort, walking distance from all attractions, the water taste really weird, get your own bottles, beside that the room was lovely, it looks pretty new, shower needs a pump, there is no cascade only a few drops
