I'm not sure about the good reviews. I've tried to give this place the benefit of the doubt- but... There are cockroaches, and major gross stains in the hallways. Our tub had large areas where the grout was gone. The room was not particularly clean (someone else's hair was on the floor behind the bathroom door.) And for 13 euros, I didn't think the breakfast was very good. On our last day, I tried to eat some, but ended up leaving it- and the coffee was not great. The orange juice was good- I'll give them that. Literally every where we ate was better (with the Hotel Catalunya being the best)We were coming from Madrid (before going to Barcelona)- so maybe our standards were too high, but our room was just sad. On top of the damage already mentioned there were stains on the chair, dirt marks and LOTS of nicks in the walls and on the wood furniture and there were uncomfortable twin beds- plus the blankets look like they are about 20 years old (you know that matted look blankets get?) Also, one of the two cards they gave us did not work. If I come back to Valencia, and I hope I don't have to, I would not stay here. We saw some other hotels- and went in to check a couple out. I would definitely look elsewhere.
Trying to be positive, the staff is very nice and the courtyard outside is lovely. There are lots of places to eat around this area (but there are also other, nicer, places to stay!)
Everyone in our group complained about this hotel. Everyone. I don't believe I met anyone who was satisfied. Maybe it used to be better- but I'd avoid this hotel and book something cleaner and more modern. read more
