    The Riverwalk is BEAUTIFUL all the time, but Christmas is by far, the prettiest!
    Debbie R.

    What a BEAUTIFUL hotel! This hotel has a beautiful mix of rich historical Spanish aesthetic meets romantic 2026 5 star vibe! If you want to stay in San Antonio, this is the one to choose. If you want to find a hotel that has a beautiful romantic classy aesthetic, this is the one! Expect candles everywhere, beautiful fountains within its lobby and soft undertone lighting. Right on the Riverwalk but away from the crazy noise the Riverwalk can bring! The heart of the Riverwalk is less than a block away if you stay anytime during the holiday season, you will be surprised how beautiful how many Christmas lights hanging create a trip to remember! Clean comfortable rooms, beds are so comfortable, I felt as though I slid in a bed of butter. Pillows were so freaking amazing- I took photos of the labels so I can get the same when I get home! Quiet hallways, no noise and away from the craziness that the Riverwalk can bring. The only issue I had was every time I stay at this hotel, I have to call the front desk to reserve a room that specifically faces the Riverwalk, otherwise you won't know what room you will get.

    Beautiful place to stay while your in San Antonio Texas. As we checked in we were greeted with margaritas for my wife and myself. The hostess was super friendly with a big smile on her face even helped us with our luggage to the elevator which is uncommon nowadays. The room was super comfortable with a southwestern flare. The hotel is centrally located and is on the Riverwalk of the San Antonio River. We'd love this place so much that we're planning on going back in November.

    We stayed at Hotel Valencia for a weekend stay downtown and although the hotel is beautiful and the rooms are fabulous, there were a few aspects that disappointed. We had booked a room with a courtyard view and the desk attendant talked us into upgrading to a riverwalk view... which was of an abandoned building covered in graffiti the street over the riverwalk. Definately not worth the extra money.

    This hotel was such a great choice to stay. It's on the Riverwalk, in a great location, it was clean, and the room was comfortable. The room was spacious, well ventilated, the service while checking in was great, we also had a few drinks at the bar downstairs and it was all a great experience. I don't have any complaints from our short stay, if I'm visiting San Antonio again I will return.

    Beautiful views, it's in the center of everything!

    This is an awesome hotel! Located near everything! Amazing views and I truly appreciated the high end finishes but the house keeping did fall short... *long sigh* not worth mentioning since the issue was rectified quickly but I had to give the house keeper guidance to be sure to look at the bed coverings cause I did find blood... ok I said I wasn't gonna mention it ... this was a great stay just wished that housekeeping takes better care. If I operated a hotel my housekeeping staff would have to be treated like rare treasure cause it's the most important job of the hotel (in my opinion)! The housekeeping and the dining are always what I look at most critically... attitudes can be over looked but once uncleanliness is noticed it just makes me feel like what else was missed but this place for decor, service and location definitely I'd recommend booking here! The king bed was so comfortable and nice bedding!

    As frequent travelers who tend to not prioritize our lodging, this specific trip was celebrating our baby moon. I knew I wanted to have a nice hotel experience so I found a mobile deal booking Hotel Valencia. I even splurged and got a king bed with a balcony. We are very impressed when we walked in. We valet parked which was great because you can come and go as you please and just request your car when you want it about 15 mins beforehand through a link they send via text. The ONLY downfall was that the WiFi was down so I couldn't connect to my iPad but we only stayed for one night so it wasn't a major issue. The room was great. Ha slots of lamps for light and the balcony was a city view just before a river walk entrance. We ended up taking a walk down there in the morning which was lovely! But the day we checked in, they surprised us with a complimentary charcuterie board for celebrating our baby moon... we were SHOCKED and so appreciative. We took it to the courtyard and enjoyed this great board filled with cheeses, meats, jam, honey, nuts and fruit. It was the perfect afternoon snack and made our experience that much more special. Overall, this hotel is in a great location to the Alamo, riverwalk, and driving outside the downtown area.

    Wow. Hotel Valencia lived up to the many raving reviews I read and more. It is a beautiful and unique building in a great location, and the decor and vibe are wonderful. I found all the staff I interacted with to be incredibly helpful and pleasant at all times. I didn't have a car with me, but the guys at the valet/door were on top of everything happening. I think in my stay I maybe had to open a door for myself once - they were always alert to who was coming and going, opening hotel and car doors for everything, and always friendly. The 2nd floor lobby is a beautiful space with a variety of little seating areas wonderfully decorated. There is always lively music playing, and they even have their own custom scent wafting about (you can buy the candle to take home if you choose). The free margarita on check-in was a nice way to ease into vacation mode. The 3rd floor has a nice little courtyard with some cafe tables and a water/fire feature that is going after dark to make it feel cozy. A great place to sit and relax for a bit after a long day. My king room was on the corner in a little nook, so the room itself had a small hallway and corner that functioned well to diffuse any hallway noise (of which I didn't hear much anyway). The bed was very comfortable. I slept better than at home! I enjoyed the bergamot and tea leaf scented shampoo and soap in the room. Hotel Valencia is in a great location - a number of restaurants within a block, including the hotel restaurant and another in the same building, a Starbucks across the street for those who need that fix, and just a quick set of steps to the Riverwalk next to the building.

What set it apart wasn't simply the beautiful hotel or location -- it was the level of personal care. Ariel at the concierge desk was wonderful. She helped arrange safe airport transportation for my friend when she arrived before me and, when my flight was significantly delayed, made sure she could check in without me. Being stuck traveling and knowing she was in good hands was invaluable. We were welcomed with a personal note, fruit, flowers and champagne, and then surprised with more birthday treats during our spa day. Those thoughtful details made the entire stay feel special. And the SPA! Easily one of the best I've ever visited. Being able to truly relax before and after our treatments -- especially in the beautiful post-treatment lounge -- made it an experience rather than simply a massage appointment. Jessica gave me what was quite literally the best massage I've ever had (and I've had a lot of massages!). Even the little things stood out: complimentary morning coffee delivered through room service and an incredibly kind and helpful room-service attendant. Luxury hotels can have beautiful rooms and impressive amenities. What made Mokara exceptional was how genuinely cared for we felt from beginning to end. The personal touches made all the difference. Mokara will absolutely be at the top of my list the next time I'm in San Antonio. Five stars without hesitation.

It was still AMAZING and left me wishing that I could stay longer! My King Room was huge and ultra clean and comfortable! Taking a break from work, I headed to the pool deck, which was small but sufficient and had comfortable chairs to sun in. I remembered an amazing redfish dish from Ostra, enjoyed so many years ago... I really wanted to eat at Ostra again this visit, because I saw redfish on the menu and wondered if it was really as good as my memory of it. I was initially bummed that Ostra was closed for a private event during my stay, BUT my disappointment quickly turned to excitement when I saw the same dish offered on the room service menu. YES!! It was as good if not better than my memory of it! Finally and importantly, the individuals working in valet, front desk, and room service were so service driven and friendly! Overall, I cannot wait to stay at the Mokara again in the hopefully, not so distant future!

We also had an unpleasant experience with one of the female bartenders, who was blatantly rude to us for no apparent reason. She walked away from us in the middle of our order and appeared visibly irritated with nearly everyone she assisted. The room itself was nice, but we had another issue with housekeeping. When we checked in, we were asked if we wanted housekeeping during our two-night stay, and we specifically said no. Despite that, housekeeping entered my room while we were away, removed and lost my personal towels, replacing them with hotel towels! They also entered my son's room and threw away a pizza that was in a pizza box sitting on his desk. It was food he had eaten for lunch that day and had not intended to throw away. For the amount of money we paid to stay here, I expected a much higher level of service and professionalism. Unfortunately, the chaotic atmosphere, poor communication, and lack of respect for our privacy made this a disappointing stay. I do not recommend staying at this hotel.

When I got to their valet I explained how I was not staying with them but I needed an overnight charge so that I can make it back to Austin the next morning. They were super nice and helpful and explained how the charger was in use but that it would be freed up soon. They promised to do it for me so I didn't have to worry about waiting on the other vehicle. The next morning my 2020 Nissan LEAF was fully charged and ready to go! Additional disclaimer: I'm not sure what brand they have but I got a sense that it might be a Tesla level 2 charger (AKA "destination charger"). So while my LEAF has a standard J1772 port, I also happen to have a quality NACS to J1772 adapter. So good idea to have one just in case, because I can't verify what type they use. Just a heads up it got my attention when the valet asked me if I had an adapter. Anyway, shout out to the valet staff. I am so sorry I forgot the name of the person who retrieved my car, he was great and when I dropped it off, Armando and Alec were super courteous and helpful as well. I realize valet companies are not part of the hotel, but they are often times your first interaction/impression, and these guys are top notch.
