Chiva Holidays from £290

The property is okay for the price we paid

Great spot in a great neighborhood. No fine dining here but a nice room, firm bed, strong wifi and good breakfast offered (great fresh orange juice), with many shopping and dining options in the charming walkable Rafassa neighborhood behind the hotel.

Great location. A side street off of a Main Street near the main square. Very quiet. I had a junior suite, it was huge and well appointed. Helpful front desk, great housekeeping service. I never had breakfast so I can’t comment on that.

This is a fantastic hotel located very close to the Oceanographic, one of Valencia’s top attractions. It’s attached to a shopping centre where there is a Mercadona, a great supermarket similar to Sainsbury’s in quality/price. The shopping centre also has a decent bookstore, a Zara shop and a Lego shop where kids can play for free. Valencia is a city designed for walking. I’m in my 50s, so this was a great opportunity to do plenty of exercise just by walking around (it took us about 45 minutes to walk to the city centre from the hotel). I travelled with my partner and little one (2 years-old) and didn’t need to buy the Valencia card. The only issue with the hotel (not their fault apparently) is that the reservation was made for 1 queen bed and 1 single bed, and we’re given 3 single beds. If you’re a parent with a very young child, you know that this is impractical. We spoke to the person in reception who thought putting two beds together was the solution. Again, if you’ve ever tried to do this, then you know this is impractical because of the gap in the middle. In the end, we’re given the type of room I originally booked/paid for the next day, which was great. They could have offered a free breakfast that morning for the inconvenience, but perhaps that’s not their customer service mentality, so fair enough. Aside from this issue the first night, we had a great experience in this hotel.

It is a nice place, bit small rooms and cleanness could improve more. But facilities at the lobby and parking are very good. Close to metro station that can take you to downtown

Big room with comfy bed and generous sized bathroom. A couple of minutes walk from all of the attractions, shops, eateries and bars. The room had a sliding door that connected to the next room. It was secure, but could hear everything that was going on so had broken sleep. Bathroom a bit grubby around the edges (limescale and loose shower fittings). Is also above a club. With all that in mind, I wouldn't stay again.
