Akla Hotel Mérida

Great stay - the spa was fantastic! Staff…excellent!

Very good location. Nice room and quiet

Nice, big and quiet room. Friendly staff with lots of good recommendations for where to eat. Our bathroom sink faucet was faulty and they had a small sign in Spanish that mentioned that but we didn’t see our thought anything of it when we checked in. We woke up in the middle of the night and there was water all over the bathroom floor because of the leak from the faucet that was dripping on the counter. I hope they fix it instead of placing a note for the hotel guests to watch out for it.

This property is very close to the Temple of Diana and a short walk to the other Roman antiquity sites, dining and the Roman bridge. Our room was tired and not as clean as it should be. The lights were unstable and the shower mechanisms are faulty. The biggest negative was the smell. When we arrived the room smelled of bleach but on each return from a day out the room smelled like a sewer. We couldn’t figure out where the smell was coming from and had to leave the windows open to freshen the air. Be prepared for parking anxiety if arriving or leaving at a busy time. There are two small spots located around a tight corner for luggage pickup and drop off on a very busy narrow street. The staff does not help with luggage. Overall a great location but as far as condition and value for money it does not hit the mark.
