The BRIC hotel proved to be a decent value for our one night in Playa del Carmen. The rooms were very basic, but clean. We booked a king sized bed, but were given a room with 2 full sized beds. It was annoying not to get what we reserved, but we kind of made a game out of it. ;)... More

So much more than I hoped for. Super Clean, friendly and helpful staff and lovely garden and pool. Just steps from the best area of 5th st. shops, restaurants and cafe. The hotel said Continental Breakfast included but it was more than that, it was a full breakfast (ok food). Great value for the price. The entire hotel was quiet... More

Our one week stay was great! Amazing service from the staff, a lovely oasis courtyard & pool. The breakfast bar allowed for talking & meeting the other guests, fun & interesting. Close to 5th Street & the incredible beaches! Ferry/Buses all nearby. The Bric's shuttle service got us from & returned to the airport in Cancun easily. Loved it and... More

Given that on their website you can book a specific room, as each room is listed individually under their booking system, it came as rather a surprise that on arrival room 25 had been allocated when we booked room 24. It was supposed to be a comparable room, but was two small queen beds instead of a king double, no... More

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our hotel. I did want to point out several issues. One being that we can not guarantee specific room selections and is so pointed out in the reservation documents you completed. Of course we will always do everything in our power to accommodate any guest request including specific rooms... More

My husband and I had an eight night stay at the Bric Hotel recently. We had previously had to cancel which the Bric staff made incredibly easy for us. Better still was when we wanted to rebook a stay at the last minute the staff bent over backwards to accomodate us! We were very impressed with the service the Bric... More

For a one night stop in Playa this is a good choice for basic but decent accommodation. Clean and well maintained but nothing fancy, certainly not 5 stars as other reviewers would have it. First floor rooms are on the small side. Good breakfast was included in the price, good service and a nice pool in the courtyard. We wouldn't... More

My wife and I stayed for 4 nights in room 24 which only has a small window overlooking a road. The Bric Hotel is a small reasonably priced boutique hotel in a very good location close to the beach and the main pedestrian avenue. The rooms are adequate with double beds but no chairs although most have a patio or... More

This was our first trip to Playa, so we didn't know what to expect. I will defiantly stay here again, over any big fancy resort. I wanted it to feel like I was staying in mexico and not your average Americanized resort. I got what I wanted at the Bric. The receptionist Gustavo was so helpful and nice, helping us... More

This was our second time in Playa. First time staying in the Bric Hotel, absolutely loved it! The rooms were good enough for what we needed it for a bed, bathroom, and a fridge. The location is fantastic. 2 blocks from the beach. Staff was super friendly and kind. We will definately go back was a wonderful experience.

This was our 7th trip to Playa and our 3rd year at the Bric Hotel. Although the price has increased, it is still a good value. The hotel is quiet and clean and in a PERFECT location. Breakfast is very good and our room was comfortable. As mentioned in other reviews, the mattress is a little hard, but we still... More
