“Great hotel, convenient location”

Great hotel, very helpful staff, convenient location near center of Valencia and 10 min by bus to main beach. Everything was OK, breakfast was great, pool available at the roof. Big room, air condition, windows can be opened. Also, price was nice.

We stayed here for a few nights so we could explore Valencia. Although the hotel is away from the main tourist spots its very easy to get to them. There is a hop on hop off bus stop a 10 min walk away and the taxis are reasonable The hotel itself was really good, but beware not everything is as stated. The rooms were clean with a huge bed and flat screen TVs. The rooms were cleaned everyday and you got fresh towels. So the negatives. If you are driving and have a large car, then you will have issues with the car park. It's underground and very narrow. We had a small Fiat Punto and really struggled to the point my wife walked in front to watch the gaps. Our friends had the same problem. We were told there was complimentary water in the room, there isn't, and they charge 2 euros a bottle on check out. There is no coffee/tea facilities in the room, so maybe take a small kettle. The pool is nothing like the pictures, it's tiny and hard to get into if you have mobility problems. If you want a drink or food you have to ring down the bar and it will be brought up. I would go back despite the negatives but would be better prepared

“Very tired hotel - needs either renovating to 4* standards or downgrading”

We stayed at Hotel Valencia Center for four nights booked as part of a package holiday, to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. The location was perfect, just a few minutes’ walk to City of Arts and Sciences. With the environment in mind, the hotel offered the option to have hand towels changed daily (leave in sink) or not (leave on handrail) – we chose to help the environment. Bath towels were changed daily, no option offered. We were in a second-floor room; there are lifts in the hotel. The room had twin beds with no option to choose a double, it being part of a package. Staff on Reception, in the bar and on the door of the breakfast room were very pleasant and helpful. We did not get the chance to see the cleaners in our room, but they did come in every day. Hotel Valencia Center is a 4-star hotel but we believe it should be a 3-star hotel. This is why: The room was dark and drab, as was the furniture, which had seen better days. No overhead light in main section where bed/tv is. No kettle (quite usual for Spain) OR even a coffee maker. Bedside lamps did not work independently of each other (i.e. was either both off or both on). There were little directional spot lights which did work independently though. The room was constantly cold as it got never got any sun. Not able to change the temperature in the room because the thermostat was set/stuck on one setting and it would only blow cold air. No blackout curtains and the curtains did not meet properly or overlap. (Some kind of Velcro had been sewn on to the curtain edges, but it must have been two of the same kind of pieces rather than ‘male and female’ because they did not cling to each other as was obviously intended). The sliding wardrobe doors were rickety and kept coming off their runners. The plug socket surround fell off the wall when I pulled the three-plug adaptor out – pretty dangerous! (see photo) Window did not shut/open properly – the rubber surround that seals it was falling off. Wanted to open it to air the room after sleeping (as thermostat/aircon not working) and to close it at night and when there was (frequent) loud music from someplace nearby. No extractor fan in bathroom. We booked this hotel on the basis that it had a gym – it was ‘not in use’ on our first day but was ok thereafter. No lock on bathroom door. Tired bath and shower (shower over bath), rust-type marks around plug and overflow. Toilet did not flush well, had to flush it twice to get rid of even the smallest piece of toilet tissue; a huge waste of water. The location of the hotel was the best thing about Hotel Valencia Center.
