Nice looking rooms and affordable clean rooms, view is nice at nights when you're looking at la Plaza and downtown Ponce. Quick walk to a downtown restaurant or club. The town could use more choices to eat late at night, but overall the hotel was a good choice.

Ponce is an interesting, if decaying, city in the south of Puerto Rico. Hotel Melia, right off its main square is a truly lovely reminder of its past glory. The rooms are simple but very clean and well kept. The beds are comfortable and the staff is friendly and helpful. Parking is only a few dollars and very convenient to... More

I just want to brag on the customer service of the Hotel Melia. My original plans were to arrived late night to a hotel in Adjuntas. Not being familiar with Adjuntas and GPS directions not corresponding with what was on the ground I got lost. I searched online for hotels in Ponce and recognized the hotel name. The front counter...

Good: Service is friendly, right in the old town of Ponce, nearby cheap parking. Bad: small ratty room, terrible bed and beddings, noisy and weak Air conditioning, shower head the had four needle-like streams of water and a broken adjuster, cracked tub, terrible "continental" breakfast. They did have a nice lobby.

We went to this old hotel to walk to the different museums near the center of the city. We had a very good experience. We liked the breakfast at the terrace, on the top of the building. The room is small, but we only use it to rest and sleep, so it was nice. The personnel provided excellent service and... More

This is potentially a very nice hotel for the money and location. However, you should first check your room. We were first given room 504 which, despite its number is in fact on the ground floor facing a busy walkway. This series of 6 rooms (all in the 5xx range) probably are converted stables or servants quarters, and are tiny,... More

This old and very charming hotel in the centre of Ponce has given us a touch of the art of welcoming travellers. Our confortable deluxe room overlooked the Parque Cemtral Las Delicias which overwhelmed us. The staff, without any doubt, is trained to provide excellent service. Thanks to Jose for his very good advices and instructions regarding places to visit... More

We stayed at the Hotel Melia on 2/10/13. The hotel's staff was more than helpful and kind. The hotel's location was paramount to the Carnival parades. We were given an inside courtyard room which was shockingly small, but it was adequate for sleeping. The parade got a late start in the day and went on well into the night until... More

We loved this hotel and the lovely city of Ponce. We paid a little extra for a room with king bed and a view and it was well worth it. The room had a balcony with a spectacular view over the top of the plaza and the surrounding hills. The furnishings are a little dated and bathroom small but it... More

I booked this hotel because I needed a place to stay that was close to the town plaza. The hotel has furniture that seems between the 50s and 60s and my sister and I loved it. The rooms are small, but very clean, and serve the purpose for a traveler to get out and explore the area. The only down... More
