Stayed for five nights at the beginning of September. Paradors are always special and Parador de Melilla is no exception! The views are fantastic, totally worth the steep walk up the hill to get there. My rooms was large and spacious with a great view from the balcony - lovely at sunset. Bathroom was also large with nice toiletries. The staff are fantastic, especially the ladies working on the front desk and in the cafeteria (small bar). The breakfast was good: cold food in buffet style and some hot options on request. Pots of tea also available on request. Lunch and dinner are available, although I didn't try them. There is a small bar (the Cafeteria) open for drinks and snacks through the day. One thing to note, check for recent photos of the swimming pool. It is still nice but looks quite different now to some of the photos on TripAdvisor, for example the large lawn area is no longer there. Check pool opening times as well if you're planning to use it. When I was there it was 12h30-14h30 and 16h30-20h30 in July and August and 16h30-20h30 in June and September (closed the rest of the year). It's a nice shaded pool for a refreshing dip at the end of the day. There is a lifeguard on duty. Overall, a very nice place to stay in Melilla!
