Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Away from the old city centre — The hotel is some distance from Valencia's historic core and the main train station, so you'll need a bus or car for those areas.
  • Basic, not luxurious — Several guests note the hotel is simple and functional – fine for a short stay but don't expect upscale finishes.
  • Possible breakfast crowding — During busy periods, guests were organised into shifts and some had to eat in a separate library area due to the volume of diners.
  • Parking costs extra — On-site parking is available but for a fee – around €8.50 per night according to a recent guest.

“The setting was ideal, just a 5-minute walk from a shopping mall. The neighbourhood was pleasant, with the beach, city centre and historic core all within a short stroll, plus a commercial centre nearby.”

8.3Verified guest

“Rooms are beautifully kept, spacious and in great shape, and the staff are very friendly.”

8.3Verified guest

“Immaculately clean room with a very comfortable bed and a nice view, plus coffee. On-site private parking is a bonus if you're driving.”

8.3Verified guest

“Breakfast was a buffet with milk, machine coffee, bread, pastries, natural juice, butter, jams, toast, sausages, cocoa and yoghurt. It was busy, so we were organised into shifts and some guests had breakfast at a reading table in a library next to the dining room.”

8.3Verified guest

“Excellent location, especially for visiting the City of Sciences or heading to Albufera. Parking is possible nearby (at least on public holidays) and the El Saler shopping centre is just a stone's throw away.”

8.3Verified guest

“The hotel is fairly basic, so don't expect luxury. It's very close to the City of Arts and Sciences and El Saler, but quite far from the centre – you'll need the bus. Given the low price and the excellent included breakfast with lots of choice, it's well worth it for a couple of nights. Staff were very friendly.”

04 — Location

Getting around Valencia

The property sits in Valencia.

City of Arts and Sciences: This futuristic complex is the hotel's main draw, with the Oceanogràfic, Science Museum and other attractions within easy reach – often walked in a few minutes.

El Saler Shopping Centre: Just across the street, this mall offers a wide range of shops and dining options, handy for meals and supplies.

Valencia City Centre: The historic centre with its cathedral, plazas and old-town charm is a bus ride away, so factor in transport time.

Beach: The nearest beach is within walking distance, making this a practical base for a mix of urban and coastal exploration.
