The property and location are spectacular. If you are driving, the parking entrance is tricky. You have to get out of your car and use the buzzer at the gate. Hello - hotels.com - maybe you can warn people about that and save them the hassle of figuring that out while their bladder is bursting after a long drive.

Very nice hotel , convenient for city centre and historic sites . Handy underground parking on site , but quite a hefty charge of 18 euros per night to park our car .

As usual this Parador is housed in a lovely old building. There are examples of antiquity all around. The public rooms are comfortable and spacious and the bedrooms have everything one might need. An excellent breakfast is served and there is a dining room for lunch and dinner.

Not as charming as other paradores we stayed but still a great staff and good location, construction outside the property wasn’t noisy but did cut into the charm a little bit.

Good location with parking

Good location to see the Roman sights. Good parking but does get very full so you need to check in early or on time.

The property was lovely. The old convent was wonderfully suited to be turned into a hotel and quite centrically located. Staff was very hospitable. The amount of Roman Ruins are all around was mesmerizing.

Good place to stay in Merida

Lovely parador, great location, comfortable room with good view. Excellent parking, although very TIGHT spaces, challenging to use. Good restaurant, although the dinner was a bit unexciting. Congenial service in the restaurant, somewhat cool at the reception. Overall we were pleased, but it was not up to the level of other paradors where we have stayed.

Very Central

Very nice and big rooms. As a family we had rooms right next to eachother. Good place to stay when in Mérida, within walking distance to all sifgts. Ok for parking too as the hotel as a separate basement parking for an extra cost of 12 € pr night.

Excellent location for viewing Mérida's outstanding Roman ruins. Lovely breakfast staff. Front desk could do a bit better on communication. They told us they were reserving breakfast for us at 11am but the was actually the time they closed. We even confirmed the time before leaving the front desk. Also they could not seem to understand I had reserved TWO rooms one for TWO people and the other for ONE person. Admittedly our Spanish isn't perfect but we do live in Spain and understand more than we can speak. Overall I'd say stay here if you have never been to a parador because it's a beautiful historic property in good proximity to the ruins and town center.

Elegant old parador.

This is an elegant old building, showing its age a bit but charming. The maids are very helpful it you need anything. There is a nice pool. The beds are comfortable. The location is walkable from the train station, and being a small town, you can also walk to all the ruins if you like to walk. As you walk to the center, you will come across restaurants and many shops. They have extensive and convenient parking with an attendant to help.

A very nice place, a bit thin on breakfast (no eggs without special order). Main issue was multiple entries, which created a problem for the driver who picked us up. If you are taking a train, bus, or renting a vehicle, go for it.

Hotel was a convent so an interesting hotel, but required some navigating. Location great for seeing all the Roman ruins. Fair size room but encumbered by a lot of large furniture, but only one chair. Breakfast was not included in our rate and was expensive with poor service.

Very good location and in general facilities, but no air condition and no choices . At night really hot and can’t open windows for noise and clarity.
Verified review

The room was good overall, we approached the staff on two different occassions for help with different things, and each time it wasnt easy to get the help we needed. Also, it seems that the construction on the hotel made it very difficult tofund the entrance. Even after we were checked in, there was not easy access to the main street level.

Great staff, but org. improvements are needed

The staff was great, very friendly and doing their best to give us service. But here are some suggestions for necessary improvements to be done: - hire staff that to a larger extent than today can speak English adequate for their job, e.g. as waters. There were very few waters, we met just one, who spoke English. We had to ask "our" water to fetch her so we could get information about the food and wine. - Although we had reserved a room including breakfast months before our arrival we got a time slot for breakfast at 9.30. A little late for our planned activities during the day. When we arrived at the breakfast room the first day it looked like a mess, there was no table laid, no glasses for orange juice, no extra plates for bread and cold cuts and the small coffee machines were slow and sometimes troublesome to use. The second day we skipped our time slot and went down to breakfast earlier. No problem. Please, skip the time slots for breakfast, it is inadequate as it is a breakfast buffet. Most hotels we know do not have this arrangement, it feels a little like old Sovjet. Tbis goes also for other Paradores we have visited - The parking (excellent in the basement) was very expensive, 20 euros a day.
