“For a budget-conscious stay in Murcia, this hotel's location is a definite plus, placing you steps away from the Floridablanca garden and a short walk to the Cathedral; the rooms are clean, if simply furnished, and the breakfast provides a decent start to the day at a restaurant across the street. While some might find the pillows too firm or the temperature control lacking, it's a solid base for exploring the city. It represents fair value.”
