Surprised with reservation cancelled when arrived
The reason I gave low grade for service is because when I arrived there there was NO reservation in my name and I had to pay again in higher tariff. I stay one hour talking at hotels.com, spoke to 5 different people and no one solved my situation. I had to call 3 times and in the last time they told me the reservation was cancelled and no refund was sent to my account or information. After one big day travelling it was a nightmare. I hope they improve their service.

Fantastic hotel
Have stayed here several times before when it was owned by another company. Nothing has changed - it’s still an amazing hotel with great staff, comfy rooms, large well equipped bathrooms and excellent restaurant. Can’t wait to stay here again.

Anyway not going back that way
The hotel is sitting at the top of the hill n windy. 3 to 5c temperature n TWO days without heat. When checking out told the front desk n she said yes two days no heat. Never apologize about it n never mind that they will compensate for it. It sounds like very normal for them. WiFi was very slow almost can’t download anything. 4 stars hotel without any sound proof walls. We can hear our neighbors talking n from the hallway. No railings at the pool and hot tub. We have to get support from the wall to get into the slippery hot tub. Disappointed with this hotel

Melia, Castelo Branco.
Slightly out of town, about a 15 minute walk to the town centre. The hill it’s on is steep, but Ubers & taxis are available for the journey back. Our hotel room was large, comfortable and airy, with a balcony and a view of the town and the hills beyond. There’s a wide selection at breakfast, the gym is well equipped and the pool’s a good size. Recommended.
