Parador De Melilla

The view from my room at sunset was spectacular. I was only there overnight due to a layover on my way home from Málaga. The young lady that checked me in was kind, attentive and helpful. The next morning when checking out the attendant was asleep on a lobby sofa which caught me off guard.

A beautiful, clean and good value hotel with large, spacious rooms offering stunning views over Melilla. The breakfast, which was included in the price, was generous and the pool is a great asset. Most of the staff were friendly and helpful, particularly with our broken Spanish. The rooms could do with a refresh, notably there's no ventilation in the bathrooms. Be aware that the hotel sits atop a hill so is a short but steep walk from the city centre and beaches. As an additional note, we found Melilla to be extremely safe, calm and friendly, but make sure you’ve learnt basic Spanish as a minimum as very little English is spoken here. Overall, apart from a few minor issues, we had a very pleasant stay and would highly recommend this hotel.

Excellent location- Pretty good review except the coffee service in the breakfast. It’s a headache to use the machine. American coffee should be provided!

Our hotel stay was lovely. The room was large and well equipped and the view from the balcony was awesome. Breakfast was varied and plentiful. The restuarant menu although small is also very good. I found all the staff very helpful and obliging . The only downside of our stay is that the hotel pool is closed (which is notified in advance ...seasonal pool) but as the temperature is 26/28 degrees it seems ridiculous that they dont open it. Additionally what we didnt realise is that it also means all of the outdoor area is closed. They really are missing a trick as bar/lunch sales would be much higher if the outdoor areas were open. Saying all this, we still had a wonderful stay and would come back
