Ready to explore the captivating city of Campeche? Whether you’re arriving by the Tren Maya or making the scenic drive from Mérida, Cancún, or even internationally, you’ll want to know about the perfect place to stay during your visit. Last night, we stayed at the charming Mur Mura, and it’s got all the magic of colonial architecture with the comfort of modern amenities—at a price that won’t break the bank.
Located just a short walk from all the main attractions in the historic center, Mur Mura strikes the perfect balance between being close to the action and tucked away in a peaceful, quiet neighborhood.
Why Choose Mur Mura?
At Mur Mura, you can experience the charm of colonial architecture with modern touches. It is a restored colonial house but has more of a feel of a small hotel, you can book individual rooms—no need to rent the entire property. This flexibility makes it perfect whether traveling solo, with a partner, or with friends. But if you’re in the mood for more space, they do offer the option to rent the entire property as well!
Each room has been restored with high-end finishes, giving it a contemporary feel while maintaining the soul of the original house. We stayed in Room #9, which has a jacuzzi on the balcony—the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring. We also checked out Room #10, complete with a private pool under a vibrant Flamboyant tree—talk about tropical vibes! The beds were amazing which is always something we look for in a hotel room.
If you’re looking for something cozy, the downstairs rooms are smaller but still charming, each with its unique “piso de pasta” tiles that harken back to old-world Mexico.

As you explore the house, you’ll come across the large library, a cozy space where you can borrow books ranging from all genres, including titles focused on Campeche’s history. 📚 It’s the perfect place to relax with a good book after a day of exploring the city’s historic landmarks.
