Barcelo Valencia

Wellnessbereich mit 20€/Stunde zu teuer! Doppelbett statt zwei Einzelbetten wären wünschenswert gewesen! 15 min Fußweg zur U-Bahnstation! Preise an der Bar und Minibar dürften etwas moderater sein!

We stayed here 2 nights in October, 2011. Got a room on the fifth floor facing the rotunda and City of Arts and Science. Breathtaking! Our room had a king size bed in which we slept like babies. The room was spacious, modern and comfortable. The shower was a little weird since it sprays out when you shower. But who cares! The view!! The bed!! The location was perfect for what we went to Valencia to see and do. We went to the Aquarium, the Hemispheric (dinosaurs), planetarium/Imax theater and the Museum of Science. The whole City of Art and Science was a wonderful place to stroll and people-watch if you like that sort of thing. We also happened upon the Museum of Fallers which was free because it was Sunday - I think. I just know it was free and we had a great time! We also enjoyed the parks which are all right there across from the hotel. We had dinner at the Japanese restaurant next door which was very, very good and then another night went down to the beach to have authentic paella. We opted for the 3 course menu which was 18 euros/pp and consisted of salad for the first course, a variety of fried seafood for second, paella for the third course, dessert sampler (soooo good!) and pitchers of Sangria. We had a ball!! At the end of every day we sat out front of the hotel in one of the tables and just enjoyed the city lights, sights and sounds while having a beer. My husband actually caught the NO Saints on tv in the hotel restaurant. He was one happy camper! You can't beat this hotel for the price. Not in my experience. The location was perfect, the staff was friendly and did speak English, the room was comfortable - the floors could have been cleaner, and the taxis are right out front. I believe the room had free wi fi. I could care less about that or a tv. We went to see Valencia and we did just that!

Great hotel, great location, and great reception desk. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful. Hotel room was nicely decorated but if travelling with someone whom you're not intimate with, you may not like the open shower arrangement. Hotel sells tickets to the local attractions. Purchasing through them allowed me bypass the long lines at the attraction entrances. The bus stop for the BioParc was a short walk across the Rio Turia and the City of Arts and Science was practically at the hotel's front door. Old City Valencia is probabably a 4 or 5 Euro taxi ride. I found the bus near the bull ring which cost 1.30 Euro. Drop off right at the City of Science and Arts.

Un buen hotel situado al lado de la Ciudad de las Artes y de las Ciencias. Dispone de buenas intalaciones, y una buena limpieza.

Had a leak in the ceiling that soaked the carpet in the hallways and partly in our room.
