Hotel Melida

The location was okay

Rooms were terrible, if anything breaks they charge you! But all of it is so old that it would all break if you touch it. Nothing broke when we were there, but that such low standard to charge your guests. Breakfast is cereal served in reception with nowhere to sit. We had a room next to reception so at 6am when staff and manager where meeting they were talking so loud, I woke and had to get dressed and tell them to be quit- and the lady just went ‘muy bien’. There was no ‘lo siento’ no apology whatsoever. Worst night sleep I ever had.

The sisters who run it are very sweet. It is an easy walk to bars. It's a good, cheap option for one or two nights. As a solo traveler, I felt safe walking to and from the bars.

The location is good- easy walk to bars downtown. My. bathroom window was open: no screen nor window. The fire alarm in my room had a low battery so it beeped all night- they did not change it. The doors lock at 10:00pm and you must ring a bell. One night it took the guy over ten minutes to wake up and open the door.

No free breakfast, bed was great, air conditioning was stuck at 18 Degrees C and took four days to fix it, got sick from the cold air at night and felt they could have done more to fix the problem. To get clean water I had to ask for a cup and tilt a five gallon jug over to pour a cup, big hassle. The room was always cleaned and nothing went missing. Did not like the elevation difference to the bathroom witch was a 12 inch step up every time I had to use the bathroom, very dangerous. They need a grip matt in front of that step.
