Great facilities, helpful staff, and great location. Nicer than other Holiday Inn Express, rooms are pretty spacious and the overall facilities are quite nice. Super good location, 5 min walk to the Ciudad de las Artes y Las Ciencias. It's not super centric but very easy to get to.

I wasn't a big fan of the breakfast. Very limited and generally not great. They don't seem to have a proper restaurant or kitchen on site, which may be part of the issue. Still, it was an ok breakfast, just not what you expect form a hotel breakfast. Price was a bit higher than expected too, but the hotel happened to be super busy, so probably that was the reason for the higher rates. It's never low season in the mediterranean.

We had been concerned as we couldn't book parking before arrival that wasn't clearly explained before booking. But we opted for outside parking which was accessable and gated. The pool looked small but it was very good fun as very deep ideal fit our grandson who is a good swimmer and welcome cooling off after a very hot day trekking from the oceanarium to science museum and Hemisferic tiring and hot.. Room was good having a kettle an unexpected bonus. Bed was very comfortable and although only one pillow was ideal. Bed settee was put down for use, no fridge which in heat would gave bern ideal. Ideally situated further large shopping complex which had lots of eateries cafes restaurants only short way and not too far from the oceanarium and other things we'd booked.. Buses seemed to run from outside so would consider staying when we return to explore the centre and the city sites. There was a power cut in our second morning the staff were brilliant when they got lifts working and provided a good selection of food and eventually hit jugs of hot coffee to serve.

Not being able to book parking was a worry as it's a very busy city we didn't know although we did get a hotel space there was street parking around. Which we'd not have felt happy leaving our car as we were begining a road trip so gave to leave things in the car overnight. It's not practical unpacking the whole car when on a journey. We prefer to have secure parking as we away from home.

Fab location, close to tram and bus routes Large shopping centre with a range of shops close by Really close to the hemispheric / science museum complex (6 minutes walk) Clean rooms, friendly staff Basic room with a small TV, kettle, private bathroom (with a bath/shower), usb options for charging (in case you brought the wrong adaptors like some of our group!)

No safe in the room No wardrobe, but there were a few hangers and storage shelves If you're a non smoker, all the smokers tend to congregate right outside the entrance which isn't so nice! Breakfast was continental - don't bother with it if you're gluten free.... If you're not, it's great! One pillow per person, I'm sure we could've requested more (but didn't)

We stayed here only for one night with two kids. Breakfast is OK, it looked like in children's hotel :). You can use the tram to get you to the downtown. The tram stop is very close. You can park the car also at the nearby fast food restaurant. Close to Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias. Together with Oceanografico, to visit all you really need two days. That is why we booked this hotel - and it worked perfectly.

We paid decent money and slept four of us in one medium size room. It was not very comfortable.

The hotel is perfect for a short break. Is literally 5 minutes away from the oceanografic, and 2 minutes away from abig shopping mall. The staff was really nice and polite,breaksfast was good ( and free!), and the rooms are clean and modern. There is also a small poll which is a massive plus.

Official check in is very late. Most hotels is 3, this one is 4. We were, however, left earlier in the room. So no complaints there.

The location was great for what we wanted - to be near the centre but also the beaches. Well connected with transport and handy being near the shopping centre. The kids loved the pool too and the breakfast pastries.

There was no safe in the bedroom and with lots of wet things to dry from the beach, at times it was hard to find space for it all.

Friendly staff, the rooms were cleaned every day, good variety for breakfast that is included in the room rate. There is a luggage room that can be used. Good wi-fi service. The location is pretty good although not in the city centre. Very well air conditioned rooms in the hot days.

The TV was not very reliable - the kids were missing any channel for children.

The hotel is well-located near the City of Arts and Sciences and the Saler shopping centre is nearby. Buffet breakfast was abundant with a limited selection (vegetables were missing). Size and cleanliness of the room was good. The staff is kind and has a professional attitude. Overall, the accomodation is fine for a shorter stay, and is good value for money.

Due to the plasterboard walls of the room, you could hear any noise from the neighboring rooms which was quite embarrassing and anoying as well. The TV only had spanish channels except one, a wider selection or a smart TV with some applications would have been better. The small sized openable window also lacked of soundproofing, so a lot of noise could be heard from the busy Antonio Ferrandis street.

Good hotel.Situated at walking distance from the City of Sciences & the Hemisferic. In front of a very good mall and with a bus station that brings you close to the beach close to the entrance of the hotel. We spent four nights and walked to the center of Valencia through the main parc 30-40 minutes( one way ) :-) We recommend !

Stayed at this hotel during a record flood and the staff managed to be nice and accommodating even though they were understaffed. The breakfast was also exceptional for a hotel breakfast spread. Would stay again.

No fitness facilities were a disappointment, and our room definitely could have been larger for the price paid.
