Hotel Cádiz Paseo del Mar Affiliated by Meliá in Cadiz

The reception service was excellent, both on the phone, where they were attentive to our needs and fulfilled them with care, and the welcome from reception upon arrival was also very good.

The hotel is just average, a facelift in the decor but it's old. It's not a Meliá by any stretch of the imagination… I've stayed in quite a few, and for work, in many hotel chains.

The photos on the website and booking platforms look like they're from another hotel, very well done, making everything seem new. When I arrived, I was disappointed.

Passive, a three-star hotel without anything special.

The room floor was dirty (you could see it in the towels I had to walk around with), the windows were a shame… a real shame, especially since I couldn't enjoy such fantastic views, as it's right on the seafront, which is a real plus. I appreciate the thoughtful touch from reception. Thank you!
It's a mix of old and outdated with new patches and touches in the room; the facelift is completely tasteless. What a disappointment, considering it was a Meliá hotel… The towels were already quite worn. The sheets were fine.

The breakfast was basic, very basic; I insist, this is not a four-star hotel. There was a good variety, but the quality was very poor, both the fruit, cold cuts, etc. The breakfast staff were unfriendly, not even a "good morning"... a cold attitude, nothing like the reception staff, who were all very polite and helpful.

It's about a 25-minute walk from the center of Cádiz, on Victoria Beach with beach bars and the La Marea restaurant next door. A pleasant walk to the center along the promenade, or you can take bus number 1, which takes 10 minutes and is very close to the hotel. Prioritize being beachfront and close to the center, or if you want to be in the historic center itself.

Thankfully, it was only one night... passable, nothing special!

Consider the photos as constructive suggestions for improvement, but wow...

Had to pay an extra €15 just to ensure we got a double bed and not singles … room was supposed to be Premium but there was nothing premium about it … quite small room with a sea view … definitely won’t be staying here again
