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.

I found the Deluxe room clean and well-lit but was disappointed by its lack of windows and the dreary terrace due to ongoing construction. The bathroom was tiny, making it hard not to create a mess with the small shower.

I had the pleasure of staying at Melia Recoleta Plaza Hotel for two nights, and overall, it was a charming experience.

However, I found the rooms could use some refurbishment – particularly the bathrooms, which were a bit small and outdated.
