Hotel Meridional

The room initially disappointed me as it needed some painting attention around air con unit and bathroom ceiling. The cups were stained …When we checked in the floor was dirty and when I went to report this nobody came until the next day. I expected more for a 4 star hotel. The location is fantastic, there is a restaurant and bar at the hotel but we didn’t use them. There was a small pool which was clean and convenient. The balcony with the sea view was charming.

We stayed here last week and thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff, without exception, were professional, friendly and in the restaurant very knowledgeable about the menu. Only negatives I can think of is that the rooms are smaller than many other hotels we have stayed at and I thought the Laundry charges wouldn't be as expensive as they were. We ate in the Jardin restaurant twice and it was top class, several other good quality restaurants within walking distance however not much option for breakfast of coffee and a pastry/toast locally without walking into town. The hotel serves breakfast but we were never up early enough. Taxis can be difficult to get so if you need one, book the day before at Reception. We booked a room at the front of the hotel so an unimpeded sea view all day.

The hotel is a lovely building, very clean and well designed. But, it lets itself down on a few points. The rooms aren't always cleaned or bins emptied. The beautiful Sky bar on the roof top is very often closed. The restaurant has a small menu and is overpriced in relation to some very nice restaurants in the surrounding area. None of these issues were enough to spoil our holiday, but the hotel let's itself down by not addressing these matters.
