Hotel Melia is nestled just off the main square in the historic part of Ponce. The hotel has been here for a long time, having been passed down through the generations of the same family. The hotel layout is a cross between colonial style and something from the 1920's. The rooms are cozy and have the basics, including expanded cable... More

Hotel Melia is an older hotel, and it shows a little in that the rooms are a little dated. However, do not let this dissuade you. The rooms are very clean, and the staff is excellent. The location is unbeatable. Overall this is a very nice hotel at a very good price. For the money I don't think you are... More

There is a great and attentive staff at all hours, in an old but gracious hotel. Rooms are smallish but adequate and clean. Nice penthouse area for continental breakfast from 7 am that was included in my bill. Both the Sunday and Monday nights that I stayed were very quiet, no extraneous or street noises.The location is in the center... More

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
