71%Hostal Waksman

I could have expected to get some more with money I paid. The location was a bit bad, although you could take a bus number 7 or 8 from Xàtiva metro station (a non-stop connection to the airport) to the hotel.

I don't like localization - a little bitte to far from metro stations, walking distance to long, the city distict seems to be depopulated.. But the hostel was OK.

located about 3 km away from the Aquarium and Science Museum and had a balcony looking out onto a small garden fenced by apartment buildings to the sides. Staff is very helpful and friendly.

The staff didn't speak English at all and it's a 15 minute or more walk from the nearest metro-station. It was good though and pretty clean.

The staff are very helpful especially in finding locations and giving directions. One strange feature is that the hotel room was used to store a foldaway cot covered in a sheet. The room was pretty average with an assembly of mismatched furniture.

A small room with bars for the window through which only sparse daylight could enter from a minimal patio in a multi-storey building. Part of the space in the room was occupied by a folded extra-bed. Our feeling of beeing in this room was staying in a dungeon. Thus a much too high price for such...

the walls are thin, neighbours are loud, but this is sth you'll find everywhere in spain. the hostal is a 20 minutes walk from the very centre. nevertheless the yurroundings of the hostal are very lively and there are a lot of shops and bars around.

They proceeded to rent out our room while they were doing construction on the wall. We were woken up at 9 every morning by the sound of hammers, not hospitable at all.

Lo llamaría pensión más que hostal. Es una casa normal, sólo que alquilan las habitaciones... pero bueno, bien, limpio y la gente maja. Eso sí, para una parejita hay que estar al loro con los ruidito porque se debe oir todo.

Inside the hostel was very comfy and cute. Everything was clean and the room was very nice and comfortable. It had everything we needed and my friend and I had a nice private room. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Definitely check out El Soler beach it is a must see in Valencia.
