Disliked: Nothing

27 August 2010

Liked: Wifi was good, but it's very rare to not have free wifi these days.

Disliked: There were quite a few disappointing things about Centre Valencia. Number 1 the luggage room was a total disaster, way too small and bags were getting destroyed in there. Understandbly it was a crazy time there being 1 day post-Tomatina and huge amounts of people in tour groups checking out together, but a staff member could've been on hand to help out in there. The breakfast wasn't worth including as a feauture, and the lounge/kitchen room was far too small for the number of people trying to eat in there. The staff were nice, but so understaffed for the number of people staying there. As someone who isn't very demanding when it comes to hostels, I can reasonably say that Center Valencia was a let-down and I wouldn't recommend it. Not a total disaster, but not comfortable or enjoyable.

Liked: Very average hostel. Met all my basic standards, exceeded none. So for 12 euros, I was satisfied. Air conditioning was good. Reading lights on each bed. Breakfast was mediocre and crowded, but it was free. Staff were friendly enough. Excellent location - on a quiet street in the heart of the old town. Close to restaurants, bars, shops, transportation, etc.

Disliked: Eight person dorm room was crowded. Not great cleanliness, but tolerable - sheets had been washed, but were not so clean. Mattresses had stains. Bathrooms were not very clean but not disgusting either. Have to continuously press the shower head to get water. There is a fridge and microwave, but no kitchen.

10 August 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: I liked that there was breakfast, though that did just consist of cereal, bread, butter and jam.

Disliked: There is only 3 functioning computers and almost always a line to use them. You're suppose to use it for only 20 minutes at a time, but that doesn't work out so well. It is also very minimal service. I think guests are suppose to pick up and drop off their linen each day, which means the room may or may not have dirty linen already. It also has a staff kitchen, but only a fridge (very very full) and microwave for use. Forget about having dishes, you're lucking if there are some and they are clean. Think you're going to wash them. Then you better do it in the bathroom with hand soap! Not all bad, but I think they are making a fortune off providing very little.

Liked: I did kinow that all rooms are mixe Female and Male . I was surprise to see at 1 am in a morning 3 persons coming although I saw one bag , I think with the key someone brough friends , I was surprised to see 3 people and specialy men .I didn't say anything because I know that when you are young you don't have money , but I was lucky to have all my papers and credits cards, money ,with me in the pocket because when someone can come , you don't know at all who is coming . When I arrived I gave my passeport and if only 1 person give is identity and 2 othetrs come , may be just to sleep but you never know , they should have better check up at night from 9 pm until next morning . I try to ask today the guy at the desk , it's answer was , - a veces es posible - sometimes probably they have people who come without paying with friend. 2- no kitchen for cooking . Breakfast OK like at the university in London , but better than nothing , I was pleased because the place is a nice way , free web , and nice breakfast room with TV .Very clean .Thank you for me it was great position , if I were with someone a hotel cost 40 Euros for 4 stars by internet but not in the center .I enjoyed Valencia

Disliked: that people unexpected came at 1 am and made noise while the Chinese and I were sleeping especially I didin't know that men came come and I was surprise to see 3 people coming in room 106 since I saw 1 back pack . I was surpised that the first day I had to ask to have the water , they close everything after 10 am breakfast .Most of the backpackers have kitchen for preparing meals , here no ,but it is clean and moderne ,very small room.
