The room was spotless and had a fresh, clean scent that made it feel extra welcoming. I really appreciated the attention to detail and comfort. Highly recommend, and I’ll definitely be coming back if I come again to Valencia."

"Amenities were cleaned well, though my beddings seemed to be used (found what appeared to be makeup on the flip side of my pillow). Would’ve been useful to know beforehand that the rooms were not real rooms, therefore not soundproof. Also had to help new guests through a check-in process at 9:30pm one of the nights (miscommunication on some people’s parts). I loved that it was so close to a subway station. "
