Hotels Near Ilusiona in Campo De Cartagena

Positive: The hotel has a beautiful ”old atmosphere”. Most of the general space on the first floor (where we stayed) I personally found very atmosphereally decorated. The hotel room itself was also applied to the ”sphere”. Lifts in place. Free parking on the street. Great tram connection to the centre of Granada (20 minutes) Good breakfast/lunch restaurant next to the hotel! Improvements: Unfortunately, in our room only high windows without view. There were no lamps in the bed lamps, so only a large light in the room. The bathroom has a problem with fungi in kitnadens, which is a very big deal, and I hope that something will be done soon! There was no reception staff behind the check-out bar. We sounded the clock twice and waited a while. Then the key was put through the lock in the screen. (Payment was already arranged).

The hotel was clean, in the room lacked the coffee shop as it was in the description. The large bed, the pad a little hard, the nice coats. The regular bathroom, we ordered a shower but we got the bathroom. The hotel has a very good location and is very comfortable and very comfortable. The hotel is very comfortable and very comfortable.

We spent 5 nights in room 330 and loved it. We had the biggest bed I have ever been in, an enormous bathroom on the quiet side of the hotel, big windows with quite a nice view. The room felt like a home from home, was kept spotlessly clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. One of the best and unexpected things is that the hotel has a cafe/restaurant attached called La Posada which is open to non residents and plenty of Spanish people pop in for morning coffee or to meet their friends so you feel part of the life of the country around you. We didn't plan to have breakfast at the hotel but it turned out to be the best option because the choice and atmosphere was so good. We ate supper on 3 of the 5 evenings in La Posada and would thoroughly recommend it for quality and value for money. This hotel is under 10 minutes walk to the famous harbour, minutes from the bus station and a very easy walk to all the main tourist attractions. It is at the edge of the old port city so you get the best of both old and new worlds. This hotel suited us perfectly because we like to be in a hotel which feels local/family run and feels a part of the community around it. If you have dinner in the hotel I would recommend the seasonal salad to start and one of the fish options for the main course. PS We flew into Murcia International airport and the most practical way to get to Cartagena & the hotel is a taxi for around 45 euros which takes under 30 minutes. There is a big taxi rank when you step outside the airport.

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.

The photos display on the website of this hotel are not from this hotel. The hotel doesn’t have swimming pool and it is not closed to the beach either. Hotel is very modern and it is good for a 3 starts hotel, they have even minibar in the rooms but the beds are not comfortable for me, the mattress are not hard enough and you feel you are downing in. The shower is really good tho! The staff from the reception should be more friendly and welcome the guest nicer. No nice touch upon arrival nor when we did the check out. Hotel is ok for 1 night stay and if you dont plan to stay in the room too long.

Excellent location to explore the city of Cartagena. Parking is limited but free street parking is available 10 mins walk away. Staff were extremely helpful. Rooms were spotless and comfortable. Breakfast is buffet style and had everything you would expect from cereals, cold cuts rolls and sweet pastries. We stayed for two nights, we were due to stay a third but my wife was unwell and had to cut our trip short. Great hotel, recommended. Tip for sightseeing, wait until early afternoon to visit historic sights. The cruise ship passengers will be heading back to their ships and everything is less crowded.

Firstly don’t make the same mistake we did this and believe this is a 5 star hotel it isn’t. No Air Con No hot water then no water at all Rude Staff Party's until 3am We arrived on the 13th march around 7pm, upon check in we was offered no help with our luggage which straight away screens out 4 star at best, but this did not bother us and wouldn’t of even mentioned it if it wasn’t for the rest of the issues. Once we had taken all our bags to the room we decided to go for some food in the restaurant, the food itself is good, but the service is horrendous the staff have no personality and remind you of a prison warden on a tv show and we had to pay right away, usually all the hotels I’ve stayed in it’s charged to your room. The next morning my wife went for a shower and the water was freezing cold so I called reception, they said they was going to fix it and they did and as a result we ended up with no water at all, eventually they sorted this issuer out by the time we returned form our day out. When we returned to the hotel the weather was beautiful so we switched the air conditioning on, but it was warm, I called reception they said they would talk to maintenance, but I heard nothing so asked again a few hours later and they said it was turned off as they was expecting cold weather soon, I’ve never heard such rubbish, I was told to use the ceiling fan, but this thing sounds like a plane taking off and we paid for a presidential suite and the fan is only in the bedroom, this made the room very stuffy and therefore you had no choice but to sleep with the patio doors open which is great if you like listening to dogs barking all night The rest of the week we just used room service and sunbathed on our balcony which was ideal as we never had to sit in the restaurant with the prison guards. Our last night here was the worse and I’ve never experienced something so bad from a hotel in my life. They had a wedding outside the hotel and it was so loud you would think the wedding was in your room, kids running about screaming like they was being murdered right next to the pool and the staff just watched and did nothing, a blatant disregard for health and safety and no respect for other guests

No way is this a 4 star hotel , for anyone who says it is then they’ve never stayed in a 4 star before. Yes the room was clean, the location is excellent and the staff were pleasant however…. Bed was uncomfortable with the flattest 2 pillows I’ve ever seen , might as well have not had one, my pillow case had rips in it too. Room had a kettle with a lid that didn’t close and we had 2 breakfast tea bags, 2 menthol tea bags, 2 sugars and 2 small milk/ cream pods, no coffee sachets. I have never known a hotel that provides a kettle that supplies tea bags and no coffee especially in Spain where coffee is a firm favourite at morning times. I’m sure they don’t provide it in the hotel as they want you to use their restaurant. There was a small fridge stocked with a few fizzy drinks and water , we used one bottle of water and at €3 for a small bottle we didn’t buy anymore. We just thought the hotel was basic, for what we paid it really wasn’t worth it, I do find though that the “ star rating” for anything in Spain regarding facilities etc is wrong, what they say is 4 star is really 3. A Premier Inn back in the UK is much nicer than this hotel AND it’s cheaper, great value for money. We definitely won’t be stopping at the 525 hotel again.

Booked late at a good price for 2 rooms on a stopover ***** with friends. The location is great, very near the beachfront and just across the road from the ***** of bars and restaurants. The check in was friendly and easy, we managed to get a parking space just outside with no need to pay. There were plenty of sun beds around the pool for this time of year but I can imagine that there would not be enough in July and August. The pool was very clean and inviting with a lifeguard on duty at all times. Next to the pool was the bar/ cafeteria which had an excellent ‘happy hour’ from 5-7pm. The rooms were very spacious with a large double bed and good bathroom. Our friends had an issue with their aircon not working but ours was adequate although not brilliant. We did not eat at the hotel given the proximity to the neighbouring bars and restaurants. The pillows on the beds did let down everything else, they were lumpy, thin and not supportive, I had to double mine over to get it anything like comfortable. We would certainly return again.
