Central Murcia - newer parts- Hotel Nelva, Las Atalayas, Ronda Levante, Torre Norte, skylines and views
Hotel Nelva, where we stayed for one night after the Murcia day tour, is a 4-star hotel, built in 2005. It has 8 floors and 250 rooms. This hotel was our favourite of all hotels during our trip to Murcia, Valencia and Costa Blanca. Even though it is a 4-star hotel it should be rated 5 stars, since it resembles luxorious chain hotels in Asia. Yet it is very cheap for this standard, about 50 euros a night (excluding breakfast and parking). Nelva has a very tasteful interior in muted colors and a helpful staff who pointed out the main sights in Murcia to us. Our bathroom had both a separate shower with different functions and two wash basins. The bed was very comfortable. Triangular glass elevators take one down to the large pool area outside and the nice breakfast room. The wi-fi was also good and there were enough of electronic plugs. Our room had a tasteful dark interior. The location is about 10 minutes walk from the old town (and trams stop near), right next to Las Atalayas business/shopping complex and a busy traffic circle. This could be a negative thing for some people, but I mostly enjoyed watching the busy Saturday night traffic from above. |
