Delicious Breakfast Experience

“I enjoyed the breakfast at Melia Recoleta Plaza Hotel, very relaxing and served until 11 am. One morning, there was even a young girl playing the piano, creating a pleasant atmosphere. The buffet was well-stocked, with everything you could want for breakfast. I particularly appreciated the made-to-order omelets, which added a special touch to my mornings.” view full review

Comfortable and Clean Rooms

“My room, number 75, was very clean, with wood floors and a good-sized bathroom. The air conditioning worked well, a relief during my stay. Even though I was concerned about being near the lift, I didn't hear a thing throughout my stay. The firm yet comfortable bed with lovely cotton sheets ensured I slept very well every night.” view full review

Charming Hotel Aesthetic

“The hotel's traditional decor was truly a standout feature for me. The architecture and furniture exuded charm, with even the chairs in the breakfast area being made of leather. It reminded me of I was stepping into a piece of history, making my stay even more nice.” view full review

My stay at Melia Recoleta Plaza Hotel was a mixed experience. While the location in the upscale Recoleta neighborhood was fantastic, the rooms were smaller than expected and showed signs of wear and mildew. The staff, although friendly, seemed overwhelmed, and the breakfast lacked the diversity I anticipated from such a heritage hotel.
