We were looking to experience a part of Valencia different from the Old Town, and we had tickets to a football game one night, and this hotel was 15 minutes walk from La Mestalla. We walked to the beach, about 35 minutes each way. There is a great cafe a couple blocks east, and we would highly recommend both Gran Azul and Flor de Valencia as very good restaurants that are a short walk away. The room that we had has been refurbished and was very comfy, and the staff at this hotel are really great. They are attentive, patient and efficient. Everyone that helped us was friendly but professional. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it highly
