Guest Reviews
Location
Guests frequently highlight the hotel's favorable setting in the historic center, enabling them to enjoy the city's vibrant life while retreating to a peaceful and quiet environment for rest. The proximity to public parking facilities is an added convenience, making it simple for those traveling by car.
The modern design and the tranquil atmosphere of the hotel are also praised, providing a comfortable and stylish stay. Whether visiting for leisure or academic purposes, Hotel Melibea offers a prime base for soaking in the charm and history of Salamanca.
Breakfast
However, there were also concerns about the limited variety and repetitiveness over several days. Some guests mentioned that the breakfast, although good, was not abundant or comprehensive enough to justify its additional cost. A few reviews noted that the breakfast could be better if it operated as a buffet rather than set menu options. Guests looking for hearty options like scrambled eggs, bacon and sausages were left wanting. The single staff member managing the breakfast sometimes led to slow service and inadequate replenishment of food items.
For those sensitive to noise, the morning ambiance might not be ideal as complaints about noise from other rooms were also reported. The overall sentiment suggests that while the breakfast experience at Hotel Melibea can be pleasant and adequately fulfilling for many, it leaves room for improvement particularly in terms of variety, quantity and efficiency.
Dinner
However, the restaurant's limited dinner menu and high prices compared to nearby dining options have led some guests to recommend looking elsewhere for a more satisfying dinner experience. There were instances where guests found some dishes, such as frozen tempura and croquettes, lacking in quality and others voiced concerns over early kitchen closure times and the inability to receive dinner receipts.
While the dining experience at Hotel Melibea can be quite satisfactory—boasting of delicious tapas and a pleasant restaurant atmosphere—some guests feel the offerings could benefit from enhanced variety and portion sizes with better value relative to the cost.
Rooms
Though most reviews appreciate the spaciousness and comfort, particularly for those needing reduced mobility access, some guests find the rooms on the smaller side, particularly the bathrooms. A few rooms also lack basic amenities like a refrigerator or a wardrobe, which some guests found inconvenient. The soundproofing is another area with mixed feedback; while some rooms are praised for their quietness, others report noise, especially from the street or adjacent rooms.
The hotel’s location receives positive remarks, being described as very well situated for exploring the historic center. The overall modern aesthetic combined with practical features makes it a favorite for many travelers, although some guests believe there are areas for improvement to truly elevate the hotel to a four-star level.
In summary, Hotel Melibea offers a blend of modern comfort and convenience, making it a strong choice for visitors to the area despite a few noted shortcomings.

Despite the lack of a traditional reception due to the hotel's digitized check-in system, the café staff and other team members have compensated by providing prompt and adequate support, ensuring that guests feel well-attended.

The digital aspects extend beyond WiFi and include modern home automation and security features like QR code entries and high-tech lighting systems. While many found these useful, ease of access and adopted the digital systems well, others found the high-tech environment impersonal and sometimes problematic with occasional failures reported in the room access and lighting systems.
Overall, while the hotel's commitment to modern technology and digital convenience is clear, some guests experienced inconsistencies in the WiFi and other smart features that could benefit from further attention.
4 Star
Guests found the breakfast limited in variety with complaints about processed food and an insufficient selection for a hotel claiming a four-star status. Moreover, the absence of staff or reception services after 11 PM was another significant drawback pointed out by multiple reviewers. Issues with room service, such as the unavailability of a minibar and an overall deficiency in amenities, further contributed to the disappointment.
Although the hotel's ambiance and manageable concept received some appreciation, the overall sentiment expressed in the reviews suggests that Hotel Melibea might be more accurately categorized as a three-star hotel.

Business
However, some reviews note the absence of a reception and staff to communicate with, which can be a drawback for certain guests.
