Parador De Mérida

pleased there was plenty of other leisure area other than the bar as the spanish smoke such a lot. outside area most attractive part of hotel. liked the historical information about it. excellent staff. we had an upgrade as the room offered to us initially smelt of smoke/good breakfast & bar snacks.

we were very surprised at the poor quality of the food in the restaurant. we ate there twice & on the second occasion my partner had the wrong starter & main course & another british couple sent their food back. lack of english other than in the reception was a bit of a problem.

I loved that old hacienda, it was just perfect.

Coming from a country which is widely covered with free wifi I was missing that in the hotel.

The staff were very helpful and the room was of a very good standard, clean, tidy and very comfotable. Overall a great hotel with a very quaint setting and mass of history in the centre of Merida. Breakfast was of a buffet style (unless you choose to have it delivered to your room) and was good value for money for adults. Facilities were very good with bar, gymnasium, pool, lift and good access for wheel chairs. There is adequate parking, but this attracts a further charge - but worth the security to your vehicle. I didn't eat in the retaurant in the evening but did look at the menu, and it looks very good and is in Spanish, English, French and German. It would make a good destination for a couple looking for a short weekend break in my opinion and is a good recommendation for any business stay overs.

Difficult to find - unless you have an up to date satnav. I wasn't happy at being charged a tenner for a bowl of coco pops for my 2 year old daughter's breakfast.
