Casual Vintage Valencia Hotel
The hotel is in an excellent location! You can walk to many attractions and restaurants. The hotel is clean and the staff is very helpful! If you have a room facing the plaza, just be aware that it will get the afternoon sun and the room can get warm so just have the curtains drawn.

ESTIMAR Valencia
Lovely hotel very central, great food and drink on offer, a nice touch to have a roof top bar. The spa we didn’t pay to use - but an option if you have bad weather. The bed very comfortable and room very clean. Reception and staff were friendly and spoke good English too.
