Sercotel Carlos III

The hotel itself is not new, but the lobby, restaurant and the rooms themselves look fresh. There are some things that can be noted (for example, the elevators), but overall, these are all minor comments. We got a room next to the elevator - at the same time, it did not border on others and it was very quiet at night. This was our first time using room service. It worked great. But the most wonderful thing about this hotel is the breakfasts! A huge variety, WARM plates, and the food is constantly replenished until closing time. So you won't find yourself in a situation where "something is already gone". I HIGHLY recommend having breakfast there. Restaurant staff - thank you very much for your attention to detail and to your guests!

Very clean and modern hotel. Lifts to floors, receptionist on main desk all the times we went past or went out, came in. Beds comfy. Approx 10 min walk into central area (Calle Puertas de Murcia) which leads through the cafes, shops and eateries, and some fabulous buildings - right down to the port. Bit of a walk, but it is doable to both train and bus stations.

Staff were excellent and extremely helpful. Rooms were lovely with a good bathroom and facilities. Breakfast was also really good although could have done with ketchup - a very minor point. Hotel about 10-15 minute walk from the Railway Station and close to centre so restaurants within easy walking distance. Hotel was far better than I had expected - was good value.

It was great to have a family room option as we have 2 young children and not every hotel offers this. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable with good air conditioning. Staff were friendly and helpful. There is a retro games room which our kids absolutely loved. The hotel is not right in the central tourist area, but all the major sights were only about a 15-20 minute walk away and we didn't mind at all.

The location is brilliant, just on the outskirts of the Historic District and about 15 minutes walk to the Port (the furthest point). The underground parking garage is accessed from the street at the back of the hotel but there is a pedestrian door into the hotel itself. Breakfast was better on the Sunday than the Monday but it was still good: Bread, rolls, a toaster, yoghurt (both dairy and soy) whole fruits, juice, chopped bowls of fruit salad, boiled eggs, salami, cheeses, hot cooked items, cake, pain au chocolate etc. A lot of variety and good quality. The bed was comfortable and the room dark, shower hot and powerful with a normal and rainforest shower head. Bathroom was tiny but adequate. Receptionists were helpful with city information. The lift worked fine Cartagena is a fabulous city and I'd stay here again.
