They've used lot of granite/marble in the bathrooms. Beds were not comfortable. One of the beds creaked too. Had dinner in the hotel's restaurant, which was very disappointing. Ordered Paella, which looked very impressive when they brought it in. But, the rice was undercooked and had no flavor.

Across the street is a Corte Ingles, where you can pick up groceries or go on a shopping spree. There also are a lot of restaurants in the area. As its name implies, it is close to the aquarium and other buildings in the City of Arts and Sciences. That means it also is close to the large park where the river once was around the old city. The service at the front desk also is good, and the front desk can sell discounted tickets to the aquarium. The rooms are small and not much to look at, but they are very clean. The wifi does not work well and basically cut in and out the whole time we were there, making it impossible to play any movies or shows on our iPads. As a result of the poor wifi, I would not recommend it to someone who is travelling on business. The location definitely is the best thing about the hotel, which must be getting it the rating it has (along with the cost). Aside from the location and good service, it is a low frills hotel with looks to meet the low cost. So, depending on what you are looking for this hotel may or may not work for you. I would consider staying again if the price was good, although I definitely would also look at the other available options.

5 Stars - A Gem in Valencia! What a great experience we had…read moreat this hotel. The staff couldn't have been more friendly or accommodating -- truly on par with what I've experienced at the Waldorf in Rome and Amsterdam, and in some ways, even better. Our room was on the smaller side (a standard room), but it was spotless, the bed was extremely comfortable, and the amenities were just right. What really set this stay apart was the attentiveness and warmth of the staff -- they made us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we arrived. The location is perfect, tucked into a lovely part of Valencia with easy walking access to shops, restaurants, and attractions. When I return to Valencia, this will be one of the first hotels I check for availability. Highly recommended.

Specifically Chiara, she and the rest of the staff are continuously trying to deceive guests by vague pricing and vague descriptions of rooms. I was charged €184 for only a few pieces of laundry. Chiara literally told me it was my fault for not knowing the prices, even though they required a document to fill out for the laundry, because I didn't do it, they filled it out for me and charged me a ridiculous amount. Meanwhile as I'm arguing the charges, there's an older couple next to me that is arguing that they booked a room with a balcony, Chiara said to them that not all rooms have a balcony and even though it has a picture on the reservation doesn't mean they will get the room they want. This place will deceive you and cheat you out of money. Don't go.

Loved my stay at Barcelo Valencia in the city center of the town of Valencia. I can honestly say…read morethis hotel was one of the more enjoyable I had stayed at in my time in Spain. Easy access to the hotel and not too far from the city center, but the bulk of the positive review comes from their spectacular breakfast buffet! I had my fair share of breakfast buffets in Spain, but this one blew it out of the water. The quality of the food was top notch, they offered a huge variety for all, including allergy visitors (Gluten Free, Soy Free,Vegan, etc). If you stay here do not miss out on their freshly squeezed OJ from the local Valencia oranges, well worth it! Fast forward to the room, very modern, TONS of space, nice view of the city (On the higher levels), decent amount of amenities, but if I had to pick out one negative, it would be the lousy beds. With all of that said, the positives outweigh the negatives easily in this scenario. I guess I should mention the very affordable price point this hotel offers, which I could chalk up to the fact that Valencia is not as popular for tourists compared to the many other tourist populated cities in Spain. That is not to take away from this gorgeous city though, as it is well worth a visit for its breathtaking architecture and many worthwhile attractions. In the end, I could easily recommend this hotel to any looking for a up to date luxury style hotel at a great price point!

For the València leg of our trip, we opted to stay at the Westin Valencia…read more The first thing you'll notice is how beautiful this hotel is. The service from start to finish was top tier and they did everything to make us feel welcome during our stay. We arrived around 1pm and we were able to get our room right away. The rooms here are massive. We had a king bed room, and it was more than enough space for two of us. With separate living room and bedroom area it was such an amazing place to rest after each day of exploring. The room feels a little bit on the older side, with the fan making a loud noise that we just got used to. There's not an electronic thermostat so we had to run the fan on max to keep the room cool. We didn't really use any of the amenities or the restaurant on-site because we wanted to explore the city with the 3 days we had here. They are renovating the gym, but they have a partnership with the gym across the street, which is available to use if you need it. Aside from the hotel, I think the location was perfect for us. We were a 20-minute walk in any direction from all the main sights and restaurants we wanted to explore. The hotel itself is quiet and far enough away from high traffic areas, so it was peaceful and serene throughout. Overall, loved our stay and honestly sad to leave because we loved Valencia and wish we had planned to stay more days here. Would definitely recommend this hotel when visiting the area.

We were upgraded to a room with a terrace which ended up having a high wall blocking any view... kind of like a prison yard. The breakfast and restaurant were fine, but not exceptional. I should have paid more attention to the previous comments about the considerable distance to the tourist areas/things you'd want to see and experience on a two day visit. Let's just say we got a lot of steps in over the course of two days. All in all, nothing terrible happened, but we had higher expectations for a five star Westin.

Budget hotel. Great location in city center. Wifi in lobby only. Not much street noise here…read more But... Walls so thin and uninsulated you can hear every thought being thunk in every room around you. Seriously noisy when people are moving around or even having normal conversation in the next room. Bring ear plugs and sleeping pills, or pay a bit more for a better hotel. Night guy at desk was very nice. Day guy was a bit aloof. Breakfast is cheap (less than 2 euro) and you get almost that much value. Better to grab a bite elsewhere. There are many many options near by. Valencia is amazingly beautiful. One benefit of staying at the Continental is that you won't want to be in your room much and you can see more of this great city. I'd give it 2.5 stars if I could but I'm rounding down because I'm tired from two nights of uncomfortable sleeping.

The room was cozy, and the front desk staff were helpful. The included breakfast consists of 2 croissants and coffee/tea. My room had no air-conditioning, but it was not a problem (though this was during springtime). The walls are thin enough that you will hear most of what transpires in the hallways, and in the hallways you can hear people snoring (etc). There is free-wifi in the lobby. Location-wise, it is about 1 minute walking to the town hall, and 2 minutes to the train station. At nightime, it is about 20 euros to get to the airport by cab. There are a ton of shops and restaurants in the vicinity, though the beach is not nearby. If you don't expect a deluxe experience, this is an ok option.

The bathroom was HUGE - well in my complex it was anyways, and there was a button near the switches where you can play music. There were two sinks, which were located outside the toilet slash bathtub, which is good when there's many people using the washroom. In addition, the bathtub is on the inside and between the toilet area and the bathtub, there is a glass door which allows two people to use the washroom. The restaurant was fairly nice with a ton of jams in glass containers, churros and a wide selection of food to eat.

Quite nice: cheese salad, paella Valencia ( with chicken), and raspberry mousse. I learned, by the way, that paella connoisseurs look down on mixed versions, feeling that the dish should involve either seafood or meat, but not both. The breakfast buffet was also quite elaborate.
