Hotel Maya Rue
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Book it if price and a central town location matter more to you than the highest guest score; it was roughly half the sample median. If you want the best-rated stay in Palenque, our other two picks scored clearly higher.

Hotel Maya Rue is our Budget pick in Palenque. It makes sense for backpackers, couples and families who want a simple, air-conditioned room in town, close to the main square, the bus station, shops and restaurants. Guests also mention friendly staff who give local advice and store luggage, which helps if you check out early and head to the ruins.
Be clear about the tradeoff. Its score of 8.2 was the lowest of the 8 eligible properties in the provider sample. That is still a decent score, but if you want the most polished experience, look at our Best Value or Luxury picks.
Location and getting around
The address is Calle Aldama s/n entre Juarez y 5 de mayo, col. Centro. Guests rate the location 8.8 out of 10 and say it is close to the main square and the bus station, which is handy for arrivals and onward journeys.
The main sight is another story. The Temple of the Inscriptions is about 7.3 km away in a straight line, roughly 91 minutes on foot. That is far, so you will need public transport, a taxi or a tour to reach the archaeological site. Our walking times are estimates and have not been checked on the ground.
What guests say
The score is 8.2 out of 10 from 345 reviews. Positive comments focus on the central position and on a warm team that helps with tips and luggage storage.
The weaker point in our data is breakfast. Some guests found the options tasty, but others said the breakfast service was missing or the juice was diluted. Our data does not confirm what breakfast is offered or whether it is included, so ask the hotel. Room size, noise and renovation condition were not assessed.
Price and how it compares with our other Palenque picks
In our reference check, a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults came to about €42.55 a night, around €85 for both nights. That was 47% below the sample median of €80.76. Treat this as a reference price, not a quote, and check today's price for your dates.
Our Best Value pick, Hotel Maya Tulipanes Palenque, was about €75.15 a night with a score of 8.8. Hotel Mundo Maya Palenque, the Luxury choice, was about €116.84 with 9.2. So Maya Rue saves you roughly €33 a night against the Best Value option and about €74 against the Luxury one. In return you accept a lower guest score and fewer listed facilities.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 8 hotels in Palenque. The Budget slot goes to the lowest eligible reference price after the upscale choice is set aside, and Maya Rue came out cheapest. Its listed facilities are practical rather than lavish: free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a 24-hour front desk and family rooms.
Before you book
Ask whether breakfast is offered and included, given the mixed comments. Check how you will reach the Temple of the Inscriptions and what it will cost, since walking is not realistic. Confirm the cancellation terms, which we have not assessed, and compare today's price against our other two picks, because the gap in guest score is real.
