Costa Calida, Spain hotel rooms at the Independent

"Basic, but what was required. Staff helpful and friendly. "

"Lovely hotel with helpful staff located very close to beach, shops and restaurants. Hotel is very clean however local streets can be a little dirty and smelly in the hot summer sun! Hotel has small snack/coffee bar. Hotel’s air conditioning is lovely and cool. We would recommend and would stay at Hotel Cristina again."

"Hidden gem. Great hotel and views!!!"

"Great location and very friendly staff."

"Nice hotel, good value with excellent location right on the beach with lovely views "

"Had lunch and dinner. Food well presented and tastes good"

"We were very impressed by all the staff couldn't do enough for us, we went there with friends to celebrate Moira's birthday. We had a few problems the air conditioning wasn't working so it was 27° in our room and very hot in our friends room also the jacuzzi bath didn't work. Some of the furniture needs tidying up. The big problem for us was the boat yard next door sanding a boat for painting was very noisy other than that we had a great time."

"I've stayed in this hostel for 2 nights while visiting Cartagena and had really good time. The room was spacious with nice view, very comfortable and I loved the walk in shower which was much better than some 4* hotels. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Location was perfect, within short walking distance from everything. I would definitely stay again on my next visit to the city."

"This hotel says it’s three star but it’s definitely 4* great condition and very central."
