25 May 2011 Christopher would recommend this property

Liked: The staff here were fantastic - from the moment of arrival they helped us get around the city, told us some great places to eat, drink and sites to see and were always on hand. The room was fantastic, clean, large and comfortable. The hostel could not have a better location for seeing the sights of Valencia, and its 24 hour entry/exit policy was great for having late Spanish meals!

Disliked: Nothing, I could not recommend it more highly.

Liked: Location

Disliked: Rooms were hideous, bad atmosphere. Boring rooms. Lots of stairs, no elevator. Showers were somewhat dirty, be sure to bring shoes to wear in them.

20 May 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: It was very convent place to stay, very close to a lot of the sights of valencia and a good base to spend your time strolling around the quaint streets and squares. Lots of old worn stairs but they do give character to the place, but be warned if you are not the fittest of people. It can start to take your breath away by the time you reach the top! On the first night it was quite noisy on the streets below but this stopped at around 12 and it was quite quiet afterwards. Receptionists seemed friendly.

Disliked: The bathrooms were not incredibly clean, one of which (on our floor) was very very small. Water also took about 5minutes to actually warm up but then it was very nice and hot. Rooms were quite basic, the basin in the corner could have been a bit cleaner. But as a base to rest your head and have a shower it is a good place, perhaps not worth quite as much as I paid, but it wasn't too bad. However I don't think that the picture gallery accurately depicts the furnishings, modernity, cleanliness and atmosphere of the hostal.

29 April 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The decoration and painting of the room created a very comfortable atmosphere. The view from the top rooms is just amazing, reminding the roofs and balconies from Arabic countries but with catholic towers and cathedrals. It's exceptionally located.

Disliked: Could have breakfast
