Front desk staff always helpful; in fact a person helped us with our luggage at check in. Valet parking was perfect for us and car brought back at time promised. Breakfast buffet is a must. The room was roomy and well appointed. Easily the best place we stayed at during 3 weeks in the Iberian peninsula.

The welcome desk staff was fantastic. Told us that the museum was only open on Sunday and as we were leaving on Tuesday so if we wanted to see it we should go there first. Absolutely the most helpful advice we got. We loved our room and the location. Absolutely a fantastic hotel. Highly recommend it. Cannot say anything bad about it.

Loved the hotel, its proximity to everything that Mérida has and my room on the front, except that they clean the square at 06:30 in the morning, so if your on the front, be prepared to be woken up. I thought the breakfast was poor, too many people, no eggs for fifteen minutes and only one coffee machine, very disappointing.

Excellent location and very good car parking service. Nice room overlooking Plaza de Spaña. Interesting building with delightful staff. Can a hotel with a swimming pool that’s only open seasonally qualify as a 5*?
