Picanya Hotels

When I arrived, it took 10 minutes before someone checked me in. Two ladies were at the front desk dealing with another client who had a billing issue. One could have helped me, while the other dealt with the situation, but that didn't happen. They both saw me, but neither acknowledged me. Finally one checked me in and gave me information about the hotel, but nothing about my hotel room, the surrounding area, or transportation into town. The key card needs to be inserted into a slot by the door that enables the light switches and AC in the room to work. That would have been nice to be told by reception. The room was very nice, clean, and spacious. The towels were rough and the floors are all tile so be careful not to slip after a shower!!! The pool is small. The size of a regular house pool. The metro stop to get to the hotel from the airport is Paiporta and it is a bit of a walk from the hotel. I had to ask for directions 3 times. Luckily, the people in town are very friendly and helpful. I found a straightforward route to the hotel: When you get off the train, turn right toward the side of the tracks that have a field next to them. Go all the way down that road past a cemetery until you reach a highway, cross it and turn left and walk for a bit. The hotel will be on the right. This is the fastest way to get to it, but it is not lit at night and it is always pretty empty. The area is quite safe, but still it can be intimidating when traveling in a new place.

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.

Good time enjoyed. Happy hour with reasonable prices was a bonus. Would return of visiting Valencia again.

Nice hotel, well located, just 5min walk from the old Valence

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!

Hotel is a great base for exploring with easy access to Valencia. It's GREAT value for money! Nice breakfast buffet.

Cannot fault this hotel best I've stayed at in any city break

Perfect location in the centre of vibrant Ruzafa. Close to cafes, bars and restaurants. The main shopping centre, market and Cathedral square are all in walking distance. Close to the train station.

Boutique type hotel. No round-the-clock staff. Comfortable room, especially beds. No view from room to speak of. 20 minute walk to all major downtown sites. Expedia notes four stars, but really a three star hotel. Owners should concentrate a bit more on maintenance as signs of premature aging of infrastructure are noticeable ( e.g.: water damage on floors, quirkiness of elevator) Hotel staff extremely friendly and helpful.
