Best Valencia Spa Hotels

Our flight landed at 0035am, so we needed to get a taxi from the Airport to the hotel, which took about 25-30 minutes and cost €33. We hailed a taxi outside the hotel at 8am to get from the Hotel to the Airport at the end of the trip, but it only cost €21. Check in was very easy. The room was of a very good standard, with a great bathroom, comfy bed, plenty of wardrobe space and a decent tv. There was a minibar fridge. Whilst we didn’t consume anything, we used the fridge to refrigerator food items such as cheese and salami. There is a German chain supermarket beginning with ‘L’ 10 minutes walk away and a supermarket in the nearby shopping centre which is in the direction of the ‘Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias’. The location of the hotel is excellent, with a brilliant bus 19 service: The bus stop literally outside the hotel is called Menorca Franca, and goes to the city centre and takes about 15 minutes. Their is a stop outside the main train station ‘Estació del Nord’ in the city centre but just to the left a bit (left if you are looking out from the station) where the bus to go back from the city centre to the hotel starts (they usually have their hazard lights on indicating they are at the starting stop). The bus stop opposite the hotel on the other side of the road is called Menorca Balears and takes you to the beach. A bus back to the hotel from the beach area can be found on street ‘Carrer De La Reina’. Just remember if you walk outside the hotel past the hotel reception - the bus right goes to the city centre, the bus left goes to the beach. All bus single tickets cost €1.50 and drivers gave me change from €5 notes. Tips for eating: there is a brilliant pizza restaurant near the hotel ‘Regina Di Napoli’. There is also a very good restaurant that offered a set menu starter + paella + small desert + beer or soft drink for €16.50 ‘El Generalife’ on Carrer De Navellos’. Would stay at this hotel again.

This is always a good location hotel with good people/ good breakfast/ good location. If i stay in Valencia next time. 100%. I will stay this excellent hotel again

Just back from a wonderful stay at the Hospes Palau de la Mar. The hotel is in a very convenient position within walking distance to everything, close to bus stops and the Metro. All the staff were fabulous, very friendly and accommodating. We were absolutely delighted to discover we had a private terrace with two chairs and a table; what a bonus! The decor was super, just white walls and dark wood, all in keeping with the lovely building. It was clean, quiet, great shower…..I simply can’t fault it. We made use of the pool, which is small but perfect for a refreshing dip (book in with the reception staff). We had a great stay in Valencia, it’s an interesting and very beautiful city. We felt safe everywhere we went and were impressed with everyone’s friendliness. Highly recommended.

The furniture in the hotel room, the bathroom is really old. Always feel that the service staff is not professional enough, as a 5 star hotel should be well trained. Because during the epidemic, the swimming pool has to be reserved, the swimming pool reception is a bit rude. Unsuitable guests come to swim, sometimes because the number of people is full, even in-house guests can not use the swimming pool. I feel that the hotel is not very suitable for this arrangement. There is also a little bit of update in the hotel, such as changing carpets, brushing the wall near the hotel elevator, if construction, some rooms should be closed and not booked, but the hotel does not seem to have a plan at all, the whole corridor is gray, arrange the guests to take the freight ladder. In short, I feel that this hotel is like a five-star appearance, and the service management is really not very good.

Terrible experience. It was my wife's birthday we wanted to celebrate but experienced very poor treatment. Our room smelt like a sewage (and they knew the issue whilst giving the room out - see below). It was so bad that my 8 year old daughter got sick. The smell got into our clothes so we had to wash. One of the worse experiences in our lifetime. It was so bad, we had 2 nights reservation and we had to abandon the hotel at 8AM after the first night. We checked in, left our luggage in the room and went out for a dinner straight away. There was a bit of smell in the bathroom but we didn't think it was a big issue. Then we came back to hotel, it was a terrible smell, words cannot describe it. I first called the reception at 9:30 and told about the issue as soon as we entered the room and asked to move our room. Noone called and i called back at 10PM again asking what's happening and she said they were full (they did not bother calling back!). I then asked if we can move to another Melia in Valencia as the smell was unbearable. They said that they will send someone to the room to look at the issue. What's worse is that they knew this was an issue, as they sent someone at 10:30PM and the poor guy went directly to the source trying to fix it. They couldn't, whilst they were working my daughter fall a sleep in the bed! The technician was very helpful, he was trying to fix it but he couldn't do much, he then offered opening the window (we were at 22nd floor , corner room , yes we made a mistake to pay for a view too!). They said that if we leave the room for an hour, they will bring a machine and try to fix it but there is no guarantee (but we cannot be in the room whilst they were carrying out the work for some reason). This was past 11PM and i told them my daughter was a sleep, technician also seen her sleeping in the bed. Despite the open window and closed shower room it got worse. My daughter got sick in the middle of the night and threw up! My wife couldn't sleep much and we left the hotel around 8AM. We had a booking for 2 nights, used 0 facilities, we booked because they had a spa and nice pool. We didnt even have breakfast. What upset us was that they knew the issue, they did very little to fix it. What's worse, i complained afterwards, they asked me to send an email. They respond very ingenuienly offering some points for a hotel chain we were not part of! We replied back saying that this is not acceptable and they never responded back. There you go this is Hotel Melia Valencia for you... None of this is exaggeration and sadly true events. Would we stay there again? Not in million years.

The hotel was big with clean and spacious rooms. The lone complaint is that the location is not near some of the tourist spots in town. If you are looking to go to the beach or the Old Town, you will need to take some cabs. We had no problem with the hotel itself, besides the bathroom door not closing all of the way, but we survived.

Transferring back to China in Barcelona, this hotel is a very good choice. There is a shuttle bus, hotel rooms are large, bathrooms are large, check-in and check-out at the front desk are fast, and the service is good. recommend!

I made a reservation after seeing it as a close and comfortable place for a business trip. The location was good and it was quiet and I really liked it. I will use it again next time

This hotel was a wonderful experience for my birthday in Valencia. The staff is wonderfully accommodating, friendly and thoughtful. On my birthday all of the staff wished me well and they surprised me with a card and some chocolates. The rooms are large, especially for Europe, and very clean. The bed was comfortable with fluffy pillows and nice linens. We had a great view of the plaza. All the old city sites are within walking distance. The location is fantastic. There is an elevator and spa. During our nine night stay there was not a single problem. Thanks to the very patient, personable staff who helped us with everything from dining suggestions, shopping ideas and sightseeing advice. All was had for a reasonable price. One of our best European vacations .

This hotel is recommended for a city trip to Valencia. The location next to the harbor and the beach is ideal for a walk along the promenade. There is a streetcar stop and various bus lines nearby, making it easy to get into the city. There is also a hop-on hop-off bus stop nearby. Our room on the harbor side was large enough and functionally furnished considering that we were out and about all day and were only in the room to sleep. In the evening the music (bass) from the nearby beach club could be heard, but we didn't mind. The room was clean and the room service was very reliable. The breakfast buffet had a good selection of meats, cheeses and fruit and egg dishes were freshly prepared. A good start to a day in the city. Our only criticism concerns the staff at reception. When we entered the lobby, we never heard a ”Hola” or ”Buenos días” or saw a smiling face that would have made us feel welcome. This is not what we are used to from Spanish hotels. But all in all a successful stay and we would come again.
