Silken 7 Coronas is still a very nice hotel and one of the best in town. The lobby is fantastic and it is not rare to find the celebrities asn artist when they are in town. Specially bullfighters.
The food at the restaurant is great and the location superb, well you are in Murcia, so all the superb Murcia can be.
The Hotel is over 50 years old and you can feel it somehow, the staff is nice and accomodating specially the veterans at Front Desk.
The only but, the hotel has is if you stay during the weekend and there is a wedding going on, please make sure you are in the top floors or you will not be able to sleep.
Anyway nice Silken

This hotel is generally good. Rooms good size and well equipped. Air con wasn't the most effective, but fortunately it ws only 35 degrees!! Some confusion over booking/prices and charges for breakfast and minibar, but the Manager remedied this by removing extra charges...Only real complaint was that the bar was incredibly smoky and the cleanliness in general was not tip top. However, great location for bars and sights.

Great location for old town, spotless, comfortable rooms, helpful staff. Ate dinner one night, very poor quality and value. Better choices nearby.

Murcia was hot! this hotel had good aircon! That biases any review a bit, as anywhere cool would warrant a few stars. Anyway, besides that we were very impressed by the hotel, it felt like it should cost a lot more than what we paid - we booked direct on the Silken website, it works out the same price as all the other websites.
The hotel is right around the corner from the cathedral, so in a good place too. Perfect for a quick weekend away.
