Balcón Al Mar

Great staff and excellent value for the price. This only the neighborhood is gritty and interesting. Don’t miss it.

It didn't look great from outside but i was pleasantly surprised once i got in.very pleasant and helpful staff i would definitely stay again.

This is an excellent, basic hotel/B&B. I was there for three nights and I had full maid service every day without asking. That is very unusual in my opinion. The A/C and water pressure and temperature are very good. The bed mattress is firm. The breakfast is basic but fine. The neighborhood is not bad, but it’s not the center where you likely want to be. Fortunately, Valencia has an outstanding public transportation system, which made it very easy for me to get wherever I wanted. I would note it’s a big city and it often takes more than 10 minutes to get places.

Staff were helpful. Breakfast was great and it was right by the Sea which made it very easy to go often to the beach.

Location was good close to the marina and beach. I was glad it had an elevator. Vending machine available. My room was close to the reception are. Walls thin that picked noise with their conversations. The room was very tiny. No space to open my suitcase. I had to use half of my bed to open it. Shower had no soap tray. Only a shower gel dispenser. The room had mosquitos and I was bitten several times. The hotel attendant used insect spray but the insects still appeared. They did their best to accommodate the situation. Daily housekeeping was OK. I chose to tidy my room. The flooring was torn, and flooring was very soft (a sinking feeling) also wood chips were visible and curtains were old. The ******* site showed hostal as nice rooms but the photos very misleading so the nightly rate was overpriced in my opinion. The breakfast was included in the price but selections very minimal. More like continental servings. I did like the coffee and tea selections. The start time 8:30 -11 for breakfast after 30 minutes the fruit was gone and staff did not replenish the selection. The breads were nice and cereal too. If you are looking for budget travel at a this hostal I would go elsewhere.
