Hotels near San Esteban Palace, Murcia

Got there a little early, and asked to store our luggage until check in time of 2pm but the young man said let me check if your room is ready, which it was, he let us have the room and directed us where to park our car. Fantastic service. We had a lovely room and throughly enjoyed our stay in Cartagena. What a lovely city

Dear all, it was our first time in Thalasia. We decided to stay in this hotel over Christmas 2025 even though we have our own place in Murcia region. This Hotel and Spa most probably the best on the whole coast. Being Nothern citizens we really needed a good well run Spa. Thalasia was the best choice. RECEPTION: Very friendly ladies, nothing was a problem, replaced everything in the room that didn’t work. The ladies spoke very good English and always there to help. Quick Check-in always prompt despite the fact that it was a very busy time of Christmas. Hotel was full. ROOMS: comfortable huge beds. My son loved it. Everything that we needed especially the fridge (!) so we could store our shopping from Mercadona for evenings. We only booked breakfast. CLEAN - super cleaning ladies especially the lady who cleaned our room - spoke Russian (in case no English - that was a bonus ) and was keen to clean even when we didn’t need to as most days we were out . enjoying Winter sun. She offered towels, dressesing gowns daily. Thank you. WARM : weather was unusually cold this Winter 2025. The rooms were amazing with warm floor all day! We appreciated it when returned to our cold house. FOOD: we had Breakfast booked. It was Buffet choice. We LOVE Spanish food so we all were happy! Truly healthy amazing choice. Lots for the fussy kids! CHRISTMAS: We even joined Christmas dinner for extra price with our friends. The arrival was a bit messy- Dining hall staff couldn’t find our payments though we paid a Day before at the reception. May be due to such business there were queues and delays but overall such great Buffet, Drinks, Families, Fun and Love. Every day Kitchen staff worked so hard. Finally SPA/ Pool. Thalasia is a HEALTH hotel. I personally loved salt/ minerals pools where you could float and chill in high density salty liquid:) Parents (!) Please bare in mind its not an Aqua park. Some kids didn’t like it because they could not jump, play, scream as usual. Saulty water if gets to the eyes will hurt. There 3 pools, lots of bubbly jacuzzi ( kids not allowed for a reason) , 4 strong waterfalls that I treated my back. The Pools were absolutely PACKED every day with guests and locals but somehow we all managed to swim, float, move around and use all the facilities. For me personally it was a great experience to spend Christmas surrounded by Spanish families just like us and all we could see smiles, caring, fun people. Pool GUARDS were very polite and didn’t us tell off badly ( like in some pools) They really cared and told us where we or kids can or cannot go. One guard gave us 1 euro for the Locker when no one told us we needed to have one. As a guest you just go to the Spa in dressing gown. Thank you young man. Spa Staff was super amazing working so hard over Christmas and answering million questions. LOBBY: beautiful Christmas tree, chilling area! Everyone was welcome. We invited lots of friends of us who live locally to come exchange Christmas presents. So all the kids had fun in the lobby. HEALTH: special mineral - salty pools did help. I work at school . I felt much much better from fresh air, walks in San Pedro, eating good food and fixing my back problems in Spa. Grasia Thalasia. We will be back!!!!

The location, cleanliness, and service were all excellent. However, it was smaller than I expected. The private bathroom would have been a welcome addition. Accommodation in Madrid is incredibly expensive, so it's worth considering carefully. In any case, I had a satisfactory stay.

A great hotel with a golf course in the center of southern Spain! It's a shame we only stayed one night!!! Delicious restaurant!

Lovely hotel in a great location for exploring Cartagena. Reception were really friendly and helpful and the room was beautiful. Very modern and nicely fitted out. We also had a kettle in the room with teas & coffees and a fridge. Would definitely book this hotel again.

Old furniture, doors, etc. all the hotel requires renovation. It is difficult to find the hotel location. 20 min walking to central square of Murcia. Receptionist works perfectly, 24/7. Very polite reception and really helpful.

The pool and sun terrace area are stunning and there is plenty of space around so as not to be crowded even in summer. Everything was spotlessly clean. The service is great at reception and in the bar and restaurant area. The only negative is the lack of bars in the immediate vicinity.

Very nice hotel and employees. Well located, all the amenities you will need, gym and pool included. A must have if you are going to spend few days in Murcia

Everything was great... wonderful views... I'll be back!!!!
