Hotel Valencia

I just love the Hotel Valencia. Built in 1973 during the height of the first wave of mass ‘Costas’ tourism, the Valencia just oozes that old school chic, currently being swept away by the race towards soulless bijou. A stay at the Hotel Valencia is a step back in time to period when a bidet was a puzzle? (You wash your feet in it, stupid!) The full-on retro experience but with the latest up to date facilities; all the toilets have benefited from a more recent makeover to meet modern standards and expectations. A welcome sensitive revamp without hollowing out the essential warmth and attraction of the place. The hotel is also managed and cared for with obvious love by the people who run it. Ok, if you’re into bling, botox and boutique hotels then the Valencia is probably not for you. But if you want a spotlessly clean place to stay, ten minutes east is the smaller usually deserted (we were there in January) Alcaravaneres city beach, two streets north is Avenue J M Lopez, the city’s Oxford Street with shops to match and fifteen minutes-walk west is the 2.5 km of Las Canteras beach; one of Europe’s finest city promenades and beaches. And directly opposite is the towns central market (Visit the astonishing fishmongers stalls). What a plum location! And all at a reasonable price. Ask for a room on the 4th floor. What you lose in room dimensions you more than gain with a huge terrace to sunbath on by day and enjoy a glass of vino tinto in the evening whilst listening to the burbling city. And in the wee small hours you can even hear the roar of the surf in the distance. Brilliant! These places are vanishing fast; I urge you to support the Valencia and keep it going!

Nothing

The hotel is located in a very good location near the city and only a few meters from the beach, the staff was very friendly and in a very good mood. The hotel room was good, we didn't miss anything because we more or less just slept there 🙂 I recommend this hotel if you want to save money

Good location if visiting Las Canteras area of Las Palmas. Authentic night life is within walking distance. recommend Plaza Farray area for a few drinks. Reception staff outstanding.

Modest, but very clean accommodation. Has old fashioned hotel charm.

great location to explore Las Palmas and the beach at las canteras. very friendly staff, clean rooms, secure access

there was nothing we did not like. although there was some construction opposite it did not affect us.

The staff were friendly. the location is near the beach and also bus station. Internet connection was really good. Also there is a balcony in the fourth floor with two beds.

nothing from my side

Perfect location. So close to main arteries(bus stops, shops small cute coffee places ect.) of Las Palmas. Very helpful, professional staff. I felt like home. I would like to recomend Valencia Hotel. Thanks.

Location is great, staff is great. The view is good for a spot in the centre of a town.

Cleaning was a bit disorganized, loud, and not every day. No lift to the ground floor.

Good budget accommodation in a good location right at the central market. Friendly staff. Everything ok.

Good basic hotel. There was a nice big balcony in my room as I stayed at the top floor. Recently renovated bathroom which was very modern. Within walking distance from the bus station Santa Catalina. Stores and restaurants nearby.

All good.

The stuff was cool specially the men in the morning shift was very nice and helpful!!!!
