Alfafar Hotels

It was a great location if you want to visit the main downtown area including the Cathedral/shops and the new part including the Oceonographic, Hemespheric, Science museum, Bio Parc, beaches etc. We took taxis, but if you have a car it is perfect and there are cheap buses (more in summer). I would recommend the Valencia tour bus in town as this can be over two days and you can hop off and on! The beaches are further away and harder to access in the winter (still warm) than the maps suggest as it is not possible to walk there as it is 6k away via motorways!

This hotel is in a slightly out of town location, being situated in what seems to be a not-quite-finished retail park. It's a Best Western hotel, and we had to go over the road to the main hotel to check in and for breakfast. There is a fairly good selection of takeaways and restaurants in the area, though I didn't use any of them. there is also a Lidl and a Carrefour supermarket. The hotel has a free car park and is about 10-15 mins drive from the city. It is also a nice quiet location. the staff are friendly and helpful. Breakfast cost 5 euros per person for adults and was fine if nothing special. The apartment had one good size double room with plenty of space for a travel cot, which the hotel provided. there is also a single room. the main room has an en suite with bath and shower - no shower curtain, oddly. there also a separate shower room with a toilet. There is a living room area with a two seater sofa and one armchair. there was a small table and fours chairs and a TV - mostly Spanish language but there was an English news channel. The kitchen was small and poorly equipped. there was no kettle or coffee maker and when we asked for something to boil water in, they provided a large saucepan about the diameter of a typical frying pan - hardly ideal for a couple of cups of coffee! could also have done with things like a bread knife, corkscrew and a better selection of mugs and glasses.

its nice. a little iut side of down town. right next to the malls and the resturants.

This is a nice hotel if you want to be in a quieter area and dont mind being a little away from the main town. Took a taxi about 10 mins and 10 euros. Some nice restaurants in the surrounding area. Didnt eat in the hotel, so cant comment on food. Not great if you want to sunbathe as there are only 4 sunloungers which are in the shade, pool is slightly larger than a plunge pool but nice to cool off after a day in the heat. Stayed in a Junior suite (room and lounge area) but didnt get the additional robes/slippers/hot tub as requested but otherwise it was nice. The room was a little dated but nothing to complain about, it did the job for 3 nights. All in all a nice visit, would stay again.

Shopping mall across the street with movie theater l, Hotel has 1 small crowded outside pool and it's a 50 minute walk to the beach. Close to Arts and Sciences and the Oceanography buildings 10 minutes walking. Very far away from Valencia city center and the Mercado Centro and all the goings on in beautiful old Valencia that was a 20 minute cab ride. Overall just okay

Disappointing that there where no sun beds around the pool, people laid on their own towels on grass, which is fine for while, but not so relaxing ,chairs where available

Right across the street from museums/aquarium with lots of shopping and dining within walking distant. Rooftop bar is nice and we were able to watch fireworks right across the street! Friendly, helpful staff!

A very modern style hotel. Very clean, staff very friendly. Central for bars restaurants and shops galore. It is attached to the Aqua shopping centre with 5 floors of shops, restaurants and a mercado on the ground floor. Close to the port and 5 min drive to the beach, the hotel is set near the end of the River Turia bed where it has been turned into a wonderful 26mile green space for walking and cycling. The hotel is also opposite the futuristic looking Ciudad des Artes. Worth a look. We did eat out which wasn't a hardship, but tried the upstairs restaurant in the hotel but always seemed to be shut. But plenty of places to eat, and I think there is a cafe on the ground floor and room service.

Good location, clean and safe. Near everything.........,,,

The location is a little away from the sights and the traffic can be a little noisy, even at night but the staff were absolutely fantastic and the room was great value.
