Reviews of Center Valencia Youth Hostel

02 August 2011

Liked: Nothing, I enjoyed leaving because spending another second in that hostel makes me sick to my stomach to this very second.

Disliked: It was unclean, overcrowded, and had no apparent organization. I stayed in a room with 12 people that was fit for a room of 4 at the most. In no way was it enjoyable and the staff was rude. I would have rather slept in the sewer than stay at the hostel again. After seeing my facilities for the first time i immediately made a b-line for a local bar to relieve my stress and because I knew the only way to sleep in the overcrowded 12 man room was to drink until I passed out.

Liked: The hostel itself was located near a rather large plaza that contained a glorious fountain and many lovely restaurants and the beds were quite comfortable.

Disliked: It was too quiet, no facilities to encourage people to socialize, the rooms were far too small for that many people. This free breakfast was essentially stale cereal. The "kitchen" was locked and for "staff only". There was a coffee machine but no cups that you could use. Bar it´s somewhat excellent location and comfortable beds, it would be hard to recommend it.

24 July 2011 Paul would recommend this property

Liked: the internet is free and if you deduct 3 euros for the 'free' breakfast (3 euros because this is how much the breakfast was elsewhere) the price is very reasonable. also the air conditioning in the room was very effective!

Disliked: the food on offer was rather limited.

16 July 2011 James would recommend this property

Liked: Was an amazing location, right in the very centre of the old part of the city and so close to the main square for bars and clubs, but still not noisy at night.

Liked: The sheets were clean.

Disliked: The staff was not friendly. The kitchen was locked. The breakfast was meager. The toilet space was tiny. The room was too small. In fact, 6 beds in such a tiny space might be a fire hazard.

Disliked: Common place and kitchen limited

28 June 2011 Brian would recommend this property

Liked: Great location right near the beautiful cathedral and plaza de la Virgen. Lots of bars, cafes, and restaurants nearby. Grocery store and tram also an easy walk away. Most of the staff was helpful and nice. I liked multiple computers for guestbuse and laundry on site for three euros. Rooms have good AC but the temp control is at reception, which can be annoying.

Disliked: They have an amazing kitchen that guests are NOT allowed to use, which is a terriblev thing to do to budget travelers. A fridge and a microwave is all guests have access to. The rooms are extremely small and in my six bed dorm if one person was outvof bed you pretty much had no more floor space. The common room is tight and not super good for meeting people. One hall bathroom per floor was pretty annoying as well. Especially when your room is the only one without a bathroom/shower ensuite and everyone else on the floor is constantly using it.

Liked: - right in the middle of historic valencia. a few minutes to go to bus station or center places

Disliked: they should clean up the toilettes (3 toilettes for around 25 people) more than one time a day. and one washbasin for 25 people is a bit to less

Disliked: no dislikes

15 June 2011 Julie would recommend this property

Liked: I loved most of the thing in center Valencia. We were two staying in a 4 bed ensuite so I loved that the bathroom was only for the 4 of us (well actually we were the only 2 in the room so it was even better). I loved the helpfullness of the staff (I even met one of them in a party later randomly). Free internet access (4 computer available + free wifi), the free breakfast is good (nothing typical just toast and cereals but when you're on a budget...) The charm is not one of the main feature of the building but it was very clean even the bathroom and value this a lot. Lockers in the room with the lock and the key is a really good thing. air conditioning in the room is good when it's so hot outside. It's by default set at 23°C which is too low for me but you can ask the staff to put it at 26°C or so. Very quiet street in the center of the city !!!

Disliked: Nothing really. Except maybe that the staff don't point you to the main events when you arrive. If you don't have a look at the wall (where the posters are) you can miss things (tapas/flamenco tour for us for instance on sundays). But it's just to say something....
