Hotel Cádiz Paseo del Mar Affiliated by Meliá

First impressions were good. Beautiful foyer with lots of tables and seating, but sadly hardly used. Our room was spotlessly clean, comfortable bed , but strangely no doors on wardrobe and only mirror on back of wardrobe wall, so too dark to see and hidden by clothes anyway. Good bathroom, again spotlessly clean. Breakfast room was adequate with good choice of hot and cold dishes. Dining room was utterly soulless,same menu for lunch and evening meal and nothing vegetarian. Not being very mobile we hoped to eat in on a few nights but didn’t bother. I did ask about vegetarian food at reception but they weren’t interested. Shan’t be rushing back I was seduced by the Melia brand and stayed many time in their hotels. Not their usual standard .

Pleasant enough hotel, we had a sea view room on the 9th floor which had a stunning view of the beach and sea. Everywhere was clean and tidy although I suspect that the bathrooms are due an update. Breakfast had a decent selection of items although sometimes the hot section wasn't that hot - and was the same every day - no variation. It would have been nice to have at least one channel on the TV in English (most hotels usually have BBC world news if nothing else) Great selections of bars and restaurants around the sea front and the bus stops right outside to take you into the old town. There is a large terrace out the front of the hotel which is used in the afternoon by the hotel bar, would have been nice to sit out there and have a coffee after breakfast but we had to go to a bar for that as its not open which is a shame as its a nice space that is very under used.

Brilliant staff. Always smiling and helpful. Especially in the bar and restaurant.|We had the burrata focaccia and it was delicious. Thoroughly recommend.||Towels for the beach were great. Could exchange for fresh ones any time. Rooms were spotless. All the sand from the fabulous beach opposite was gone after cleaning each day. |Bed was absolutely huge. |Ask for sea view definitely. People watching excellent at any time, day or night.||The beach is sandy, no pebbles, no seaweed, no algae. Fantastic for swimming. Some waves when we were there added to the fun. ||Lovely promenade by the beach stretches all the way to Cádiz I think. Buses run regularly from the road parallel to the beach one block up. So easy. 1 euro 10 cents each way to Cádiz old town which is a wonderful sight.||Some excellent restaurants within easy walking distance of hotel. We particularly liked Mareo, a seafood restaurant. Everything we ate there was superb.||Chiringuito Porto, just about opposite the hotel, on the beach by rows of sunloungers, was also great to eat at. ||Would definitely recommend booking the restaurant of your choice for lunch time. You may be lucky in the evening without a booking but depends on whether a weekend or Spanish holiday.||We had no car, hotel is a 10 minute taxi ride from the train station. Less than 10 euros.||thoroughly recommend this hotel.

My family and I stayed here during a family emergency, on account of the proximity to the hospital. These people were so kind, patient and good to us, even when I was dramatic and crazy, everyone there made us feel calm and loved - they probably have experience w guests who are also going to the hospital. The rooms are clean, modern, and the ones facing the ocean have a breathtaking view! The breakfast is also fantastic and the staff there is also kind and patient. They offer towels for the beach and are close to La Marea and other great places to eat and drink.

We stayed at Cádiz Paseo del Mar in July 2025. The hotel is right on the beach and close to many restaurants. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, although the pillows were quite hard and the rooms a bit noisy. The staff, however, was very friendly and helpful, which made the stay much better.

During July I stayed at this hotel again, it was my eighteenth visit.||The hotel is in a good location, within easy walking distance of the centre of the city, and near bus and train stations to visit other places.||The hotel is cleaned well daily. ||There is good food and choice for breakfast and other meals.||The main feature of the hotel is the excellent service from the friendly staff. ||If all is well, I hope to visit again.

I was initially drawn to this hotel because of its great location and the appealing photos online. I have also really enjoyed Melia hotels in the past. Unfortunately, this hotel did not match the online representation or the Melia reputation. I was placed in a eastern-facing room, which was very dark. If you stay here, make sure to get a western-facing room. My first room had a strong smell of smoke and I was moved to another room, but it also had a noticeable smoke odor. The hotels only response was that it did not permit smoking. Ultimately, I decided to leave without staying the night. The hotel made no attempt to make things right, not even offering a partial refund. Based on this experience, I would not recommend this hotel.

Perfect for a stay in Cadiz. We had the best of both worlds history and the beach across from the hotel.

The service is terrible! I was excited to stay in this hotel after reading the reviews but I don't understand where these people stayed! The girl in reception hates her job, the water in the showers goes from freezing cold to extremely hot in seconds, no pool, old building, 15 euros daily parking, internet in the rooms is very poor. Nada recomendable :( muy mal el peor que nos ha tocado estas vacaciones y sin embargo el mas caro.
