Hotel Jerez Centro, Affiliated by Meliá

We booked this hotel as it would accept a 1 night booking around a national holiday whereas more central hotels wouldn’t. It’s an attractive 4* hotel so on paper, should have had a better offering than the two (much cheaper) 3* ones we’d previously stayed at in Jerez & Cadiz. Location-wise, it’s a bit away from the centre, it’d be a good choice if you wanted a base for the Equestrian School. The reception staff were spot-on, very helpful and friendly. The breakfast (extra €9) was glorious, much better than the usual continental offering of processed ham & plastic cheese. Everything hot and cold you could imagine was available from a regularly replenished self-serve buffet, and the food was good quality. |I’ve marked the hotel as a 3 because of the bedroom. As we entered via the keycard, we were hit with a foul smell of sewers / drains which only lessened when the bathroom door was closed. We were only there for one night for an early flight the next day, otherwise would have had to move room. As it was, we had an outdoor terrace overlooking the street at the front so escaped the smell there. There’s no way the staff aren’t aware of this as the bathroom window had been left open. Aside from the smell, the bathroom was small, old fashioned & in need of a refurb. The room was poorly laid out with dead zones but little room for manoeuvre. There was a run of 3 windows in the room with the far one overlooking the adjoining room’s terrace! The windows and terrace wall were not lined up. Whereas the two 3* hotels on this trip exceeded our expectations, this one disappointed because of the smell & bedroom in general.
