The hotel is located very near the Plaza de Espana and so a short walk from the main tourist sights, including the Cathedral and the Alcazar. We had four nights in a lovely Level suite on the 9th floor. Well equipped, maybe could be better maintained (a lot of black mould in the bathroom and a few minor issues that we pointed out and were immediately put right) - NOT an issue for the domestic staff. The Level experience is very good and good value although I felt that the evening tapas were not particularly exciting and ‘samey’. The staff were wonderful and helpful throughout - Carmela, Estella and Juan on the Level reception, Rosa serving in the bar/cafe, and I’m disappointed not to have the names of the lovely domestic staff who kept our rooms clean and tidy. I was pleased we were able to make some use of the lovely pool. If you are travelling by car, the public carpark below the hotel has its own lifts to the hotel and costs €25 a day - no concession for hotel guests. Would very much recommend this hotel. Never had a bad experience at a Meliá.

“Not worthy of four stars, but good bed”

This hotel will do in a pinch for a night or two, but certainly not very comfortable and quite basic. This seems like an older property that they have been trying to upgrade, but it is still lacking.

This hotel will do in a pinch for a night or two, but certainly not very comfortable and quite basic. This seems like an older property that they have been trying to upgrade, but it is still lacking. Two elevators of four were boarded up and I imagine this could be a problem in busy times. There seemed to be a lot of bus tour people. Front desk staff were helpful. I believe I had a newly redone room, and beds were very good. But still hard floors with no carpets. Not much in the way of lamps. Windows are still old and allow a lot of noise from the nearby streets on all sides and housing/apartment blocks. Towels thin and not much place to hang them! When we asked for an electric water kettle we were told it was usually only for a higher level of room (and we did not pay for the lowest level of room), but they did provide. However, they did not bring cups, so had to ask for that as well. I feel it is not cost them much to provide a water kettle and cups in the room! Location is ok, not too terribly far from the main attractions (Alcazar, Cathedral) and pedestrian area, but despite what the hotel tells you, it is a bit too far to walk (25 minutes at the least) and then walk some more once you get to the tourist area. It is a 10 minute or so walk to a stop for the street car which is convenient, but it only goes a few more stops into "downtown" tourist areas, so limited reach. Not much else practical around the hotel. Date of stay: October 2024
