Hotel Universal Murcia

Fantastic budget stay in Murcia. Very clean, excellent location, friendly staff. We stayed for the Murcia marathon, and really appreciated the late check out offered for the event. Hotel was only 5 minutes walk to the start line. The sister hotel across the street has a nice cafe bar, where we had coffee early morning. Breakfast was being served from 6.30am for marathoners. Would definitely stay again and would highly recommend. Excellent value for the price.

Clean, comfortable and safe. 24 hour desk staff were friendly, professional and some spoke fluent English. Gym, across the street in the "Pacoche", was well equipped. City itself felt safe and was easily walkable. Ten to fifteen minutes amble to rail station and five minutes to local Mercadona. Bank/ATM across the street. Vending in hotel reasonably priced. 24 hour food/drink/fuel at the local CEPSA. €77-ish cab from Rock Imperium in Cartagena. Bizarrely, the Universal has a huge "PACOCHE" sign hanging off it. Would definitely book again if I could not get anything closer to the Rock Imperium venue. Exceptional value for money. I was in 49, an end-of-corridor-away-from-elevators room that overlooked the street below. (June 2023).

Stayed here a couple of times now. Very basic hotel, but clean and comfortable and very conveniently located, and exceptional value for money. Tons of bakeries nearby, and 3 supermarkets within a 5 minute walk.

It was very well placed and close to the centre in a very pretty area. The staff were friendly and helpful and the room was clean, spacious, comfortable and quiet. All very important! It wasn’t luxury, but it was perfectly fine and very reasonably priced.

It’s close to all attractions and offers drinking water especially the hot water. Microwave is nice too.
