Booked this hotel through lastminute.com as one of their 'secret hotels' so didn't know what we were getting until we had confirmed the booking. The hotel was absolutely fine, well furnished room, bathroom a bit tight, very helpful staff on reception, great location right by the river and a few minutes walk from the old town.
The downside was that the hotel is really aimed at business travellers rather than leisure tourists. There are no leisure facilities, e.g, pool, at the hotel. The restaurant was only open for lunch. A full menu at a reasonable price was available in the evening but only in the bar, which was not particularly comfortably furnished or appealing (large screen t.v. above the bar constantly tuned into the football channel).
Murcia itself is quite easy to get around and the old town is attractive but much of it is suburban sprawl.
