The hotel was well-equipped, we recommend it to everyone. Had thoroughly enjoyable 2 nights here. The staff was really helpful and attentive, very good service. The location was comfortable, if you need to be walking distance to a museum and a theatre. Plus it was walking distance to restaurants and bars.

The hotel was set in a central area just next door to tourist areas, the airport by bus and the old town. A cool bonus was Cafe de Valencia, located nearby, it offered tea and coffee.
Tbh, the room was a little hot, the breakfast was cold.
