“Very Comfortable Merida Hotel”

The Tryp Medea is not located right in old Merida but the historical section is only a pleasant walk away. It takes 10 minutes to walk down Avenida de Portugal to the ancient Puento Romano and another 10 minutes to cross this 0.8 km long Roman masterpiece over the Rio Guadiana to get right into the heart of the old town. Our room was cheerful, airy, large, quiet, comfortable, very well maintained and spotless. We had floor to ceiling windows and a glass door that opened onto a tiny balcony. All our floors were marble and the bathroom was also panelled with marble. The decor was slightly funky faux Greco-Roman but we got a kick out of it. We had a flat panel TV that even had a couple of English channels. The staff was friendly and helpful. The internet was not free; 2 euros for 60 minutes. At 15 euros each, we declined the buffet breakfast and instead had coffee and croissants across the street. We parked for free in the outside lot but, if that’s full, it costs 10 euro to park in the hotel garage.

“A Relaxing Stay in Central Spain.”

We enjoyed our stay at the Tryp Hotel in Merida. The directions were explicit, and we found it easily. The hotel was very pleasant, and the room light and airy. We expected to be a little nearer the centre of Merida, and personally needed to drive there, but accept that it would have been within walking distance for the more athletic. There were however restaurants near the hotel, and the breakfast in the hotel was excellent.
