AZZ Mérida Medea
Hotel ILUNION Mérida Palace
The property is beautiful. Next to the Plaza España and close to the train station. The room was quiet and spacious. An excellent Italian restaurant next door and walking distance to all the major Roman sites. Breakfast was very good. The hotel was all that I hoped for.

Pleasant room with good decoration. Window to internal area so air-con required at night, hence average eco/friendly score.
