There are few options in Beja for business orientated hotels, and although the Melius is a simple option, it is clean, comfortable and offered me a good night's sleep. Parking is available right outside, if those are taken, there are plenty of other parking places directly across the road or the other side of the adjacent crossroads within the commercial areas. Once inside, check in was straightforward and I was soon to my room via one of the two lifts. Unfortunately, opening the door, I was hit with the heavy smell of cigarette smoke (the hotel is non-smoking), so back down to reception to ask for another room which wasn't a problem. The room was pretty basic, but comfortable. Mine was a twin, comfortable and no problems sleeping. Furniture was no-nonsense: a single chair; fixed desk and a sitting stool. Bit lots of wardrobe space. The bathroom was fine, appointed with a bath with shower fitted above the bath, lots of hot water and pressure. Both the bedroom and bathroom were immaculate. Breakfast is from 06:30 in the separate dining room. Again it is straightforward but easily sufficient: three types of cereals to choose from, a couple of hot options, bread, croissants, some yoghurts a few types of both fresh and tinned fruit, coffee from a machine. So not a grand spread, but perfectly fine for the day. The hotel doesn't really have a lounge or sitting areas, though there is a large bar which opens at 14:00. I was there during the World Cup, so it was relatively busy. They serve evening snacks, not really full-up meals, but I really enjoyed the local tapas for Euro 10.50. No gym, but virtually next door, a gym which offers guests patronage. There are a couple of paddle (tennis) courts out the back of the hotel, with equipment held by reception. In sum, I enjoyed my three night stay here. It offered what I needed; nothing more, nothing less, but in what it did offer it was very good.
Excellent
