This was supposed to be good as parador is very famous upscale local chain of hotels. Instead, it’s a hotel that urgently needs refurbishment both in terms of quality of rooms/public spaces and in terms of staff. Wherever you look, things are either old or broken. Customer centricity has left the building as well. Wanted to have coffee in the morning and drinks in the evening and staff was nowhere to be found. After 10 minutes of waiting we got a person for coffee but for drinks they never showed up. Yes views are great but everything is simply not. Do not recommend.

Not worth the money. it is outdated and worn. The reception lady was great. The breakfast excellent. I like the 3 levels of sitting area. I dislike motion sensor light in the hallway. I don’t like the heavy key chain .

Slim pickings in Melilla

This Parador is not of the chain’s normal standards, but then in Melilla you barely have any competition and choices. My bathroom was yucky with no window and ventilation, so paint was peeling from the ceiling, mold flourished in the caulking between tiles, water leaked every time from the bathtub/shower onto the marble floor rendering it dangerously slippery. Extending into the bedroom itself, it was dilapidated (many broken floor tiles and outdated furniture) and not the cleanest (loose hair found on flat surfaces and dubious stains on the walls). My “Superior” room had a large balcony with pleasant views of Mount Gourougou, but Melilla’s blustery winter winds minimized my use and enjoyment of it during the 1st week of January when I was there. On the plus side, the bed & linens were comfortable, and the Reception staff were responsive and tried to please.

Spent a very pleasant couple of days at Parador de Melilla, peaceful location with good views over the city and surrounding area. Excellent breakfast with options of egg dishes a la carte. only a few minutes walk into the town centre, a few minutes more to the very interesting Melilla la Vieja
