"It was on a busy road but not much noise at night. We stayed October so the pool was closed. The room was clean but needed updating. But this was reflected in the price. There are two cafe/bars about 150 yards away where we had an excellent breakfast. It's about a 20 mins walk into the beautiful town. The receptionist could have been a bit more friendly. Good parking right outside the hotel. Overall it was a good stay."

Top Plaza de Espana Hotel Reviews

Akla Hotel Mérida

8/10 Good

"We had 2 rooms - one was lovely, the other was directly off the lobby and had no window, so not as lovely, but clean and satisfactory. Location good, easy to walk to Roman ruins and wonderful aqueduct remains. We didn't use the spa."

AZZ Mérida Medea

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here with 2 young children, all the staff were lovely. The room was clean and quiet. Breakfast was a good selection. And its well located with a big supermarket near by, as well as bars and restaurants. It was a short walk from the hotel to the nearby roman Bridge and other sites. I would stay here again."

Hotel ILUNION Las Lomas

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect hotel for a break after a day's drive 🚗 👌"

Hotel Nova Roma

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was close by. Be sure to arrange parking. The garage was full and had to park in the public lot."

Parador de Mérida

8/10 Good

"Esperaba más. Falta algo más de atención al detalle, agua complementaria en la habitación. Los baños no han visto una remodelación desde mediados del siglo pasado. Ya el óxido y la vejez van ganando campo."

Hotel Vettonia

10/10 Excellent

"Una muy buena atención. Muy bien ubicado. 100% recomendado."

La Flor de Al-andalus

10/10 Excellent

"I was very pleased with this hotel. Friendly staff and realy good information."

Apartamentos Petronila 1881

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent!"

Hostal Las Abadias

8/10 Good

"Great staff, very clean, very modern, and all geared toward wheelchair users. Having breakfast (basically three factory-sealed pastries and a hot beverage) delivered on a trolley to your room was a first (and it felt rather like I was in my grandmother’s retirement home). Long walk into the historic area - but we loved exploring the area and the nearby Mesón El Pestorejo Los Eméritos was a fab fine for us - great food and local atmospere. "
