Bij aankomst werd ons verteld dat dat echter in slechte staat verkeerde zodat we in het guesthouse konden logeren. Ontbijt goed, personeel chagrijnig! Guesthouse zowat aan het strand en twee minuten lopen van metro. Paella mee te eten tegen geringe vergoeding. Valencia is aanrader, wel wennen aan bijzonder laat op de avond openende restaurants... Goed weekend gehad! AANRADER, MAAR NIET IN HET OUDE COMPLEX!close

Happy we chose this. Cozy, clean place. Room in a homelike apartment of four rooms, kitchen and bathroom. Helpful staff. Close to F-1 Circuit amd great beaches. Nice bars nearby, but closing early. Problems with keys and locks, happened to manage, but this to be corrected. In any case, recommend...

close to beach but awy from centre of town, there is no reception so you have to be there at the exact time you said you will arrive or they charge ¢10 extra... and there is also a hidden tax of 8% for some reason they couldn`t really explain,other than that ok.

The flat was really nice, renovated and clean. I think it always depends on the neighboors you get, we, at least, were very lucky. The only problem might be shared bathroom, especially if the flat is full of girls :) And Jason is super sweet! :) Will stay again for sure and recommend to friendsclose

This was one of the best hostels I've stayed in Spain so far.... There was a full kitchen so we were able to make and store food. The owners were very helpful and accommodating. Only a 5 minute walk from the beach, restaurants, and GREAT bars/clubs! I would definitely stay there again.... :)

Great location near the beach with convenient tram/metro/bus stops to get into the city. Straight shot on metro/one transfer to tram to get there from the airport. Cafe and grocery store nearby. Sheets on bed smelled musty - didn't seem too clean. Location overcame this drawback.

I had a great time. Really good value for money and whilst a wee bit out of the centre of Valencia, this house (they have several) was 5 mins walk from the beach in a working class, cheery, neighbourhood.

There is a metro stop nearly at the door of this hostel so it is convenient to get to. Also, walking distance from the beach. The only downside is if you go out downtown and miss the metro you have to take a taxi and they are a bit sparce in Valencia. The nicest perk was full access to a very...
