Hotel Julián

Everything one hopes a small, family-run hotel will be, but rarely is. From check-in to check out, all the staff were exceptionally welcoming, friendly and helpful. The hotel was spotless throughout and the rooms were comfortable. The walk-in showers were exceptionally good, with great water pressure and reliable temperature control - something rarely guaranteed in even the most expensive Spanish hotels. The well-appointed bar has a stunning selection of whiskeys and gins, and the servings of spirits are super-generous and reasonably priced. The rooftop restaurant was a summer evening treat, with stunning 360° views and a super cool vibe. Most importantly, the food - all unfussy, perfectly prepared and cooked local specialties - was delicious. The wine list was small, but high quality, with a super selection from the nearby Jumilla vineyards. Our breakfast was equally good, simple food, of the highest quality, served with charm and care. My only, very small criticism of our experience were the nylon bed sheets, and tiny bath towels. Cotton sheets and decent bathroom linen would have raised this from a 95/100 experience to a full 100. We will definitely hope to return to the Julian before too long.

I travel alot and have not completed a review on a hotel for a while but having stayed the night before at a 4 star hotel which was last decorated circa 1990 and had no air conditioning this hotel was excellent. Yes the staff do not speak English but you are in Spain and not England. Very hospitable, excellent air conditioning, spacious clean rooms, fantastic food for the price. Value for money is the best I have come across for years!

Great hotel, friendly staff Staff were very friendly and helpful, the hotel was spotlessly clean, room and food prices very reasonable, would stay again and highly recommend.

Quite randomly picked hotel just for a one night stop over turned out to be pretty awesome! Very friendly staff, huge modern rooms, free parking right in front of the hotel and most importantly a very VERY atmospheric dinner up on the roof!! And all that for under 60 euros per night; what a bargain! The staff didn't speak or understand english that much, but everyhting got sorted out by our poor spanish and gestures. :) The breakfast was served by order, but there were no menus, so we pretty much just asked for something they usually serve. Turned out to be ok, if not plenty, though.
