Cornalvo Natural Park, Extremadura hotel rooms at the Paradores

"A great choice for exploring Merida. It’s not quite the 5 star hotel it’s listed as on some sites, but it is still excellent. Nice big rooms with character and good bathrooms. The pool is lovely (it’s also green: perfectly safe and lots of people were in it, but it was green). The bar isn’t a bar - it’s a cafe and it’s not open that late (for Spain) but that doesn’t really matter a the square out front has loads of bars. Stored my luggage on check out fine. Online check in didn’t work but front desk were good/quick. 15 minutes walk from bus station, 10 from train station, easy walk to the Roman theatre and other sites."

"I felt taken advantage of at this property. When we checked in they informed me that Expedia had under charged me as a single and I was traveling with my daughter. So they had to add extra fees for her and for parking. Even after I showed them the reservation confirmation clearly showing 2 people on it, they insisted I pay extra fees. But the location was convenient. "

"Nice atmosphere, smiling and helpful staff. Excellent experience. Recommended."

"Wonderful staff, great location, delicious cooked-to-order breakfast, lovely amenities."

"This apartment deserves many more stars it's fantastic. Fresh clean and perfectly placed in the historic centre. "

"We needed a hotel for three adult family members with parking for one night, conveniently located near Mérida’s old town, and Hotel Velada met our needs perfectly. Check-in was prompt and smooth, and we were able to add a last-minute breakfast option without any hassle. Extending check-out by an hour was also easy to arrange with a quick phone call. The room, while on the smaller side, was clean and well-prepared to accommodate all our needs. The hotel’s location was a big advantage, within walking distance of a covered public swimming pool as well as the Roman amphitheater and theater. Overall, it was a great choice for our short stay in Mérida."

"Ideal for one or two night stopovers."

"It is a small cozy hostal. Beds and pillows are very comfortable. Staff is very friendly. No breakfast, but local business are just a few steps away. Which we enjoyed a lot. Merida is a friendly beautiful city, with a lot of history and art."
