This hotel did not have the following features that the Hotels.com website said it had:- No Restaurant. No Bar. No Air conditioning. There was no lift from reception level. You have to carry your luggage up 2 flights of stairs and down another to use the lift starting on the 1st floor. No way is this a 3-star hotel. I had to prepay for my room so I couldn’t leave to find another hotel. This was misrepresented on Hotels.com and I feel I should get a refund for this reason.
Nice Hotel, but what a noisy neighbourhood. A concert stand nearby at 22:30 and didn’t finish till after 0200. Then motorbikes and lots of load shouting people in the park under our balcony. Didn’t get much sleep. It’s a shame as otherwise the hotel was perfectly ok.
Hotel Zeus is just across the road from Merida's sprawling and improved Roman archaeological park and museums. It also had ample free parking on-site. Although its restaurant next door was not yet open for 'the season,' I found a very good one a few minutes' walk down the street. The concierge spoke English and gave very helpful advice touring Spain's best-preserved Roman town, which requires at least 2 days to do it justice; so I had to stay on for another night! All in all, a fine value for the money.

The hotel is cheap. good price if you are just looking for a place to sleep and not spend a bunch of money. But, you get what you pay for. The pillows are not very nice and the sheets and blankets were not the best. Definitely old and used… but clean. The old town of Mèrida is walking distance to the hotel, but the surrounding area is not that nice of an area. Overall, I would stay there again simply for the price, but not a place I would recommend if you want a super nice place.
The hotel is a little dated and faded but its clean and everything works , in a good spot for a short walk to the Roman sights and easy to find. Breakfast was simple but enough for us. Its on a large main road but no noise if you have the windows closed, you need to cross this road to get to the sights but thats fine if you used the crossing points. Staff were pleasant if you approached them , we were not able to use the pool as it was closed as it was October, which was a shame as it was pretty warm. As others has mentioned one odd thing was the steep marble staircase leading up to the lift , odd !
The roman sites are definately worth making a detour to visit and im glad we did, the hotel served its purpose.
We used Zeus as a cheap overnight stay on a drive from Bilbao to Gibraltar being over half way and conveniently close to the main road through, very helpful staff, and clean, close to town(10mins walk) and good parking, fuel station close by. Excellent value for money and recommended!
Friendly reception staff- most helpful. The room was basic but very clean and comfortable. The hotel has ample parking space( free) and is within easy walking distance to the town and Roman sites. We would stay here again.
The best thing about this hotel was that it had a car park & was within walking distance of the ruins & square. Strange arrangement with steps before you reach the lift. Therefore you were lifting cases up & down stairs. Average rooms, average breakfast, ok for the price
One thing the posting said there was a restaurant on site which there is; but it was not in operation other than for breakfast at this time. Same with the pool which is open June 15 to 1 Sept; and it was 36C at the time I was there; so a pool would have been good. I did enjoy my stay; but there are voids in the hotels "statements of what is available".
Stayed for two nights. Breakfast was not included in our reservation and we did not feel like paying 8€ pp for breakfast. The in-house restaurant was not open for dinner, but there were plenty of nearby restaurants. The hotel layout is odd—you have to walk up about ten steps, then down three to get to the elevator. Not ideal if you have a lot of luggage. The desk clerks did not offer to assist with our bags. The room was very Spartan—no safe, refrigerator or coffee/tea facilities. Room was also very noisy. We could hear voices through the wall and bangs and scraping sounds from the room overhead that lasted until 1 a.m. one evening. Hotel is just across the street from the Mitrio Roman villa. Other worthwhile sights are 10-15 walk away, but there are probably comparable hotels nearer to the sights for the same money. We chose this hotel because parking was available for our car.
my husband has poor mobility and we were suprised to find that although the hotel has an elevator you have to climb a flight of marble stairs to reach the first floor and the elevator. This is not mentioned in the listing for the property.
The beds were reasonably comfortable but were narrow.
There was a lot of noise from the rooms around due to the plumbing and lacking soundproofing, not particularly noisy guests.
The staff were helpful and welcoming. Parking good

Solid choice
We enjoyed our stay, very close to local points of interest and the fact that they had parking made it even better.
