Outstanding!! We stayed for 3 weeks and enjoyed every moment. Great location Amazing attentive staff Spacious rooms Comfortable beds Quality pillows, bedding & bathroom linens Hearty affordable breakfast After the military my career was in hospitality. I was a Chef in charge of numerous restaurants, bars, convention centers & catering for government offices. Event planner. I was also a nationally certified Food Safety Manager. I share that to say I have seen every aspect of hospitality in my career. It’s hard to impress me but Ontico did. Highly recommend & will definitely return.

My third stay & very happy I chose this hotel. Staff is amazing, room are great & hotel is convenient. We’ve been traveling for the last 2 years in and out of hotels between Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Manila, Siem Reap, Seattle, Cancún & now Merida. I love boutique hotels and Óntico is now on my lists of favorites. It’s a small hotel with a big heart & a mastery of hospitality !!

Outstanding!! This is our 2nd stay here and we really appreciate the hospitality we have received. Comfortable beds & pillows Hot water & good water pressure Modern upscale furniture & amenities Large TV, rooms & bathrooms Limited but tasty & affordable breakfast Walking distance to a vast array of restaurants Laundromat & dry cleaners are only a 5 min walk away Food service apps make food delivery easy Nice walkable location that felt very safe In my last review I complained about the noise from construction next door. Stated I loved the hotel & staff but the amount of noise was bothersome. Not only did the noise lessen staff upgraded us to a room that is amazingly quiet. I greatly appreciate them addressing the issue & fixing it quickly. I highly recommend this hotel!

I like this hotel and planned on staying for 30 days however the daily construction noise is making me change my mind. Staff is great. The rooms are very nice. The only issue is there is hammering and drilling that starts at 9am and continues throughout the day with only a break at lunch. I was on the top floor and thought when I moved to the first floor I was getting away from the noise. Nope!!! It is 517pm right now and it is still going. Staff says it might stop at 6pm. We are not here for tourism but are in the midst of publishing several books and looked forward to a quiet spot to get work done. Really nice hotel but I might need to find a new place to work sadly. I recommend it but only if you will be gone most of the daytime to avoid the noise.

Modern little hotel in the center of the city
The hotel is small but fairly new, I loved the long table with a lot of space to put your things, the bathroom has double sinks and it was very modern. The only issue was the water pressure was weird, suddenly spiking as you showered so that made the bath a bit unpleasant. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Another small issue is that there is not many convenience stores nearby so you better get stuff ahead of time or get it delivered. The streets around are also not particularly nice to walk around.

Room was very nice and clean. Staff is very kind helpful and friendly. High quality toiletries. Efficient AC. Would be nice to have a small fridge. Sometimes a little noisy during breakfast service. Would definitely stay again. Beautiful modern design. The huge tree in front was an excellent landmark for finding your way back to the Hotel. Only a few blocks away from Calle 47 a beautiful street with many restaurants to choose from.

Cama muy cómoda!!
Esta muy bien el hotel, lo que molesta un poco es la luz del aire acondicionado. Y que la habitación es un poco chica para dos camas matrimoniales. El desayuno esta rico, solo que es un poco tardado su hay gente.

Seek modern design with large comfortable and quiet rooms. They indicate a bar and restaurant, but it is very minimal. Nice breakfast for a nominal fee.

We arrived at the Óntico Urban Design Hotel just after 11 PM, walked into the lobby, and found nobody on the property. We thought the desk clerk might be in the bathroom or down the hall, but nobody ever showed up. This was especially surprising because we had called the hotel a few hours earlier to say we missed our connection and would be arriving a few hours late, around 10:30 PM at the earliest. The gentleman who answered the phone told me he would wait for us, but he did not. Twice I called the hotel. I heard the phone ring in the hotel, but nobody answered. It just asked me to leave a message. We considered sleeping in the lobby but they only had chairs and we were worried what would happen to our luggage if someone walked in while we were asleep. After about 10 minutes I called Expedia support and explained the problem. They tried to contact the hotel, but also had no success. I then asked for Expedia to book the other hotel we had booked on Expedia but canceled. They said that hotel was not available, but after calling that hotel we learned they did have availability for 2 nights of our 6-night stay. We arranged to stay at the other hotel over the phone. Turns out the desk clerk left the property without notifying anyone or locking up. They offered to upgrade us to another property, but we already had a non-refundable room for the last 4 nights of our stay we booked on Expedia.
