Hotel Ambra

Buen día: Lamentablemente, mi experiencia en el Hotel Ambra fue TOTALMENTE negativa. Desde el check-in se me cobró un impuesto no informado en Expedia; posteriormente enfrenté múltiples problemas con las habitaciones asignadas (fallas de seguridad, aire acondicionado, y la PRESENCIA DE CUCARACHAS) y falta de atención por parte de la gerencia, sin disculpas ni compensación alguna, aun cuando la primera noche se me alojó en una habitación de menor calidad. El hotel se encuentra muy deteriorado en general. Lo único rescatable fue la actitud y el esfuerzo del personal, especialmente del equipo de limpieza. Por estas razones, no puedo recomendar el hotel. Al staff le doy un 10; al hotel y a su gerencia, un cero. Atentamente, Pedro Monteros

Todo perfecto

I had to leave early because the night clerk was agressive. He accosted me and said I did not pay the day before when I was going for coffee at 0700. The truth was dayshift did not record my cash payment, he also did not tell the truth. It took two hours to sort out. I was there on a business trip for two more weeks and checked out. Ive stayed at this hotel several times before. I will never be back. The nightshift worker is atrocious.

Excellent value and location. Friendly staff.

I loved the location — it’s super central! There’s an Oxxo, pharmacy, market, and shopping center all around, which made everything very convenient and really saved my trip. However, there are definitely some areas to improve. The back parking doesn’t feel secure — no cameras or mirrors, and the security guard is only at the front and often sleeping. Same with the front desk at night — you might have to wait if they’re napping. The room was dirty the first day, with a humidity smell, ants, and mosquitos on the bed. Towels were very old and ripped, and there was only one bedsheet with the A/C. Not very comfortable unless you bring extras. The kitchen is nice, but you need to bring your own cookware, coffee maker, and plates. The fridge was great, clean and worked well. The second day the cleaning improved, but towels and sheets stayed the same. Overall, the location was amazing, but I hope they improve security, cleanliness, and comfort. Still, if you’re just looking for a convenient base to explore the area, this place works.

This hotel is not really for tourists. If you just want a nice clean place to stay for a night or two and you have your own transportation to get to the local attractions you will be satisfied. We reserved a room with a kitchenette but it was not useful because there are no plates, utensils or pots and pans, so there is no way to cook unless you know this ahead of time. The little pool is nice with a few deck chairs around for relaxing.

If I knew they have humidity issues (and mold) I wouldn’t have stayed here. As soon as you walk in the door you can smell it in the front desk. Then, the first room we got assigned, was even worse. We couldn’t stay more than 10min in it. We asked to be moved and the front desk agent help us without a problem, he was super nice! The rooms are very basic: no bedside lamps, no trash can, no hangers in the closet area... A fridge would also be nice. I wouldn’t come back

Good property. Only about a 10 minute drive from the city centre but 40 min walk, So either be prepared to get at least 10,000 steps everyday or take out extra pesos to catch taxis. Right across the street from centro maya(strip mall) and there’s an otto right down the street (2min walk). Never felt unsafe walking alone at night.

The Hotel Ambra is a mixed pla e for me. The staff and their willingness to be of assistance was excellent. I liked them very much. They worked hard to keep a very clean hotel. Kudos for that. However, in three days I was in three different rooms because of an odor/scent that was pervasive in each room. The second room had ants galore, enen in and on the bed. The third room produced the worst night of sleep I can ever remember having. The bed and pillows just did not work for me. Despite having paid for a full weeks stay, I left on day three because I could not bear to subject my body and mind to another night of torcher. I liked the people but hated the rooms.

This quaint hotel was well worth the money.

Prior to arriving, I called the hotel to ask for an early check in, the receptionist told me yes. Upon arriving, the reception area smelled very bad of food and the receptionist from sitting down was yelling to me at the door, check in is at 3pm. I used translator to tell her I called and she told me I could arrive early. She agreed. I would suggest give better service to new guests. I have never been greeted in such a way by being yelled at across the room when arriving anywhere and I am a worldly traveller.

Service

Good service

Muy tranquilo, cómodo y a un precio muy económico

We stay here sometimes between Cancun and Tulum when our flights get in late or leave early. Its right off the highway and has parking. Rooms are basic, but clean and everything works. There is a restaurant open late right behind the hotel, an Oxxo next door, and a mall across the street. Price performance is good.

Good hotel

It would just be nice if the guest didn't have to ask the staff for 2 days to get the dishes to the kitchen. Especially if you book a room with a kitchen, which you need for a diet. Everything else was ok.

Stayed two weeks. The rooms are decently clean but the area is very noisy and all that sound comes right inside. It’s worse in the “apartment” style units with cooking facilities. They’re in their own tower and have two extra windows, plus the door opens to outside. As for the cooking facilities, they don not have a microwave as advertised and they provide no cookware or dishes or utensils - but they will promise to get them sometime in the future. They’ll also promise to get clothing hangers, but never actually will. There is no laundry on site as advertised. Not in the room and not as a service. Night staff are rude, day staff are friendly if unhelpful. Night staff also cannot read Spanish well or understand any English, so be prepared to speak in only Spanish after 7 or 8pm if you need anything. The pool is sketchy and it and the main floor lobby area are sparse and unwelcoming. Do not expect to spend any time outside your room unless you’re leaving the hotel. There is a mall across the street. It’s likely one of the most expensive malls in the country, where you will find a very sketchy looking laundromat. The grocery store there is good for selection, but the prices are mismatched or simply untrue on most items we purchased. Air conditioning at the hotel worked very well and the wifi worked well most of the time. Bring your own Netflix account if you plan to use the tv at all.

Very basic, very clean. Charmless.

Lugar limpio y con lo necesario para pasar la noche. Al frente está el centro comercial, así que hay lugares para almorzar y comer. Lo justo por el precio.
