This fine business hotel, part of a Spanish hotel chain with a good reputation, is centrally located in Ceuta next door to the 19th-century neo-classical Palacio de la Asamblea (Assembly or Municipal Palace). Enter the hotel through the turreted glass corner, which seems to be in rhythm with the palace's own domed corner element with its clock and flags.
The hotel lobby is bright and spacious, with a cozy lobby bar and decent washrooms to the side. The front desk area has a handy assortment of tourism brochures and local newspapers. The front desk personnel are very helpful (speaking both Spanish and English). There is a slick glass elevator that complements its modern exterior facades.
The moderately sized property has five floors and 121 comfortable guest rooms with the usual amenities like TV, in-room safe, hairdryer, minibar and trouser press (who actually uses a trouser press?). There is an outdoor swimming pool, Jacuzzi, and workout room at the hotel for guests. The restaurant serves a breakfast buffet, and you can also get snacks at the lobby bar.
The location of the Melia Confort Ceuta is excellent, as it seems to be near everything in town (the Catedral, Centro Mercado, Ceuta Gran Casino, the ferry terminal, beaches, Mediterranean Maritime Park, etc). The hotel is on a prominent street that has many restaurants, shops, and bars.
