Neo Hotel

A practical hotel in the centre

Neo Hotel is on the Gran Vía, Caravaca's main avenue, along which the Moors and Christians parade at the May festivals. It presents itself as the only three-star in the town and the tourist office gives it 53 places. From the door you walk up to the old town and the basilica, and have shops and services at hand. It describes itself as a hotel also designed for groups, with capacity to host them and discounts for cultural, sports or corporate trips.

The rooms

The rooms are renovated, spread over two floors, and take from one to four people. All have a full bathroom, a 40-inch television and free wifi, and the main ones include 24-hour room service and an extra-quality mattress.

There are exterior singles, overlooking the Gran Vía, and interior ones, with a 105 cm bed and a bathroom with bath. The exterior double overlooks the hotel terrace and can be requested with two beds or one 180 cm bed. The superior double overlooks the Gran Vía, with the best views according to the hotel, a 180 cm bed and a welcome gift. There are also interior doubles, an exterior double facing the church of the Society of Jesus and a double with a sofa bed for three people and a child, the option for families.

The terrace and services

The terrace, renovated as a chill-out space, is where breakfasts are served and, throughout the day, tapas of local produce and drinks, with soft music. The hotel also has an events space, designed for meetings, presentations, training or private celebrations. For guests it offers a tourist adviser service with recommendations on the Vera Cruz Sanctuary, nature routes and gastronomy, and a video library on its YouTube channel to prepare visits.
