We stayed at the Melia Hotel April of this year and was very happy with the staff and cleaniness of the rooms. I was fortunate to meet one of the owners while there. Room 315 has a balcony and has a wonderful view of the plaza, "Parque de Bombas" The church and simply watching the people that live there enjoying... More

The other reviews are correct --- this is an old lady, but charming, clean and right in the plaza. We were able to visit a variety of small museums a few blocks away. The beds are comfortable. A refrigerator in room. Ice maker. The pool is very adequate and helpful after walking around the hot concrete sidewalk. Parking off street... More

The hotel sits in the center of historic Ponce a short walk from a few bars and resturants, Burger King also sits across the street on other side of park. (bad service) slooooow. I just bought the chicken on a stick from a street vendor outside of the... More

My husband and I stayed here for two nights. Check in was easy. The staff were friendly and the lobby was very nice. Our room was small, but had a comfortable king sized bed. The bathroom was a little outdated, but VERY clean. The rooftop deck was a very nice place to have breakfast. The breakfast was simple, but perfectly... More

A classic hotel with a great location right in the center of Ponce. Right by the plaza and cathedral and museums. Decent breakfast in a very pleasant rooftop setting. Helpful staff. Parking (fee) in adjacent lot. Internet. Before visiting, recheck the opening hours of the museums and Tibes; some may have changed. More

Located in Central Ponce (entrance is in a busy street leading to main square) with a façade facing Parque de Bombas. The lobby is a reflex of old grandeur wich is less evident in corridors and rooms a little run down. All said, rooms are old but clean and old AC works properly although a little noisily. Breakfast is a... More

This hotel is wonderful - if you are someone who prefers the older hotels with charm and character over the new modern hotels, then this place is for you. We had the most amazing room with a view of the church, the main square and the fire station. Our room was basic with two queen sized beds and not too... More

Wins you over with her charms. Upon checking in to my room I started to believe I had made a big mistake booking this hotel. The room was small and dated, but clean. It was cooled by a small air conditioner stuck in the wall. The bathroom was plain and the bathtub glazing was a bit cracked. Although the room... More

We had a very nice stay here... nothing fancy, but what I'd expect for the price. The location was PERFECT, especially for Carnival. Parking in back. Our breakfast had coffee, juice, cereals and a variety of danishes/bagels/breads. Bathrooms were nice. More

Our room at the Hotel Melia not only faced the Plaza but had a large balcony and picture window. The room was large with plenty of closet and drawer space, table and chairs, a large counter in front of a mirror, and a decent size bathroom. Bed was comfortable; shower average. Parking was off street , reasonably priced, and easy... More
