Hotel Anfora is a three-star city-centre property on Calle Pablo Vallescá 10 in the heart of Melilla, Spain's autonomous enclave on the north coast of Africa. The hotel occupies a position on one of the principal commercial arteries of the modern city, within a short walk of the Plaza de España, the main shopping thoroughfare along Calle General O'Donnell, and the famous cluster of Modernista and Art Nouveau buildings that make Melilla architecturally notable. Melilla la Vieja, the ancient fortified old town, is approximately 10 minutes on foot from the hotel entrance. The property serves independent travellers, short-break visitors, and professionals on working trips to the city's port and commercial zone. Guest rooms come in standard double, twin, and single configurations, each with air conditioning, a flat-screen television, and a private en-suite bathroom. A café on the ground floor opens early and provides a practical breakfast option with pastries, sandwiches, and hot beverages, convenient for guests catching the early ferry sailings. The 24-hour reception desk is particularly useful for travellers arriving on overnight ferry services from Almería or Málaga on the Spanish mainland, ensuring a smooth late-night or early-morning check-in. The hotel does not have on-site parking, but municipal car parks are available within a short walk. Its central location keeps transport options close: the Beni Enzar border crossing into Morocco is reachable by local bus from stops nearby, and taxis for the port ferry terminal are readily available in the surrounding streets. At €65–€95 per night, the hotel offers a competitive price point for three-star accommodation with private bathrooms in central Melilla, combining the essentials of air conditioning, en-suite facilities, and a convenient ground-floor café into a package well-suited to travellers focused on exploring the city's heritage, beaches, and cross-border trade opportunities.
