Melia Recoleta Plaza is a gem. Staff was excellent to a person. Room was spacious with ample drawers and closet space. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom was lovely and well designed (though like many hotels could use more towel hooks). Breakfast was plentiful and fresh, with a delightful piano accompaniment! Location was excellent—close to key sites but quiet. Would recommend.

Property has a great location. We walked to sites and found EXCELLENT nearby dinner options. Breakfast at the hotel was fresh and tasty (homemade croissants were a treat). Eggs to order…yum. Our room was perfect. Quiet, clean, and comfy. Nice toilettries including body lotion. The dry sauna was hot and the rooftop pool refreshing. We stayed 4 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
