We have just returned from spending 3 nights at the Melia Las Claras in Salamanca. The hotel has been is reportedly modern and a boutique hotel, but the d?cor is old-fashioned and definitely not boutique. We stayed in a Junior Suite which is to be recommended, as you get a huge bed, bigger than king-size, and a living room with a sofa and easy chair. Plus the amount extra you pay for this room is not that much. The breakfasts are good, which is not common in Spain, and you get a free newspaper, although it is the right wing ABC. The restaurant never had anyone in it which is not a good sign, but there was a good wine bar with modern tapas type food just over the road called Vinodiario, that place is recommended. Overall we enjoyed the hotel, the staff were friendly, but with only a few negatives: 1. Boring D?cor 2. No Swimming Pool 3. Wifi at 4 euros an hour

Hotel muy recomendable, muy bien situado para visitar el centro histórico de la ciudad. La habitación espaciosa y el servicio excelente. Repetiría sin duda.

I stayed in this hotel in October 07. The rooms are large, well appointed, and modern. The lobby is perfectly adequate and big. Carpark was available in the hotel for a reasonable fee. Internet was broadband and worked very well Location is very good, just a couple of blocks away, easy walking distance to the main attractions of this lovely town. I would recommend this property without hesitation. Price was about Euro 95 which is not bad for a hotel of this quality, closer to 5 than to its 4 star billing.
