My husband and I stayed at the Melia Las Claras Boutique Hotel for a few days in July 2011. The room was very clean, spacious and equiped with TV, mini bar fridge, and electronic safe. The location is perfect. Everything is within walking distance...and the surrounding streets are quite. The hotel staff were very helpful.... and always eager to provide any assistance.
Breakfast buffet is good. Limited selection of hot food (eggs, chrizo, bacon). Cold breakfast options are plentiful with fresh fruit, toast, mini sandwich bites, pasteries, cereals, yogurts, cold cuts, juices, coffee, milk, soy milk, cheese, and breads. Breakfast at the hotel was very convinenient as you were able to eat and then spend time exploring what the city has to offer.
Hotel has parking is available for 17 Euros a day in the hotel parking garage. If you have a rental car with you.... there is little choice but to park in the hotel garage. Parking on the street is not an option as parking restrictions are enforced with parking tickets. Best to pay the 17 Euros/day and not to get stressed looking for street parking and risk getting a ticket. You won't need to drive anywhere in Salamanca as everything is within walking distance.
Hotel has WiFi available at a cost of 9 Euros per 24 hours. The WiFi signal is very very very poor and NOT worth the cost. There are many restaurants nearby that have free WiFi. The WiFi speed throughout the entire hotel is consistant with the speed of a dial-up modem from the 1990s.
Hotel has Satellite TV, but the signal is poor during the night. Channels are very limited and only 2 channels provide English broadcasting from Great Britain. More international channels would be of benefit for hotel guests.
Overall, great hotel....WiFi signal could use a lot of work.
