Nova Roma Hotel

Suárez Somonte, the street that runs down towards the museum

Nova Roma is a three-star city hotel at Calle Suárez Somonte 42, inside Mérida's historic centre. Its selling point is distance: the National Museum of Roman Art is about 300 metres away, the theatre and amphitheatre 450, the Alcazaba 500, the train station 800 and the Los Milagros aqueduct 1.4 km. Everything you come to see in Mérida can be covered on foot from the door.

It also works as a stop en route. Mérida is on the A-66 motorway, the Ruta de la Plata, and the hotel presents itself to those travelling it who want to break the journey with a night in the centre.

Three room types

It has 55 air-conditioned rooms, of three types: 17 m² doubles, designed for couples; doubles for single use, for those travelling alone; and triples, for small families or friends. There are facilities and rooms adapted for reduced mobility. Wifi is free throughout the hotel.

Check-in is from 14:00 and check-out until 12:00. Reception is open 24 hours, useful if you arrive late from the motorway or leave early.

Breakfast and parking

Breakfast is a buffet, served at the hotel itself. The hotel manages a car park for guests, subject to availability; the website does not publish its price or location, so ask when booking and confirm before you arrive, because parking on the street in the historic centre is not easy.

The website says nothing about pets: if you travel with a dog, check before booking.

Midweek discount

The hotel publishes an offer for over-55s: 10% off the best rate for accommodation and breakfast, Sunday to Wednesday, except public holidays and subject to availability. To book, the phone number is 924 311 261.

For dinner nearby, A de Arco, beside the Arch of Trajan, is a stroll through the centre.
