Book a Hotel Near Eixample, Valencia

i liked that it was as advertised Everything was available for comfort The only item i felt missing was a full length mirror

We were pleased with our stay at Husa Dimar in Valencia. The things we didn't like were not so troubling as to cause us to discourage anyone from staying there; The printed material in the room seemed to suggest that the breakfast buffet fabulous) was included as part of the (very low) room price; it wasn't. Our bill included a small charge for each breakfast for two -- just a little surprise. The buffet was well worth the price. They advertise air conditioning, but really mean centralized dehumidification. After 36 hours of using the in-room thermostat to try to cool the room, we asked the front desk for assistance, the woman replied: Oh, we don't have cooling. Luckily, it wasn't hot outside (October, after all) and our room was generally comfortable. We loved that we could open a window at night for comfortable sleeping, though street noises might bother some. The hotel is in what we think was a perfect location for seeing Valencia. Twenty minutes walk through a beautiful park to the City of Arts and Sciences; and less than that to the heart of Old Valencia. Many terrific and affordable restaurants within two blocks.

Was there in April 2010, 4 days. Very nice and friendly staff, always willing to help about tourist informations, WiFi free for more than computer in room, always the same food selection for breakfast but a good one (4 warm dishes, several cold (cheese, sausages), 5 different breads, sweets, fruit, muesli, etc. and very tasty juices). Rooms are rather small than big, but big enough, modern design, for my opinion too much mirrors, walls are very thin and doors with too big "gap to floors" so you hear everything what is going on (too noisy for a long morning sleep), and the cleanliness lack a little bit (it was very dusty when we came, floor was not clean, mirrors were dirty, ...), but not so much that we would complain. Hydromassage bath is actually hydromassage shower but was not working as it should (it was not the problem, because we needed the shower only). When you leave the hotel, you can leave luggage in the reception for few hours. Location of hotel is about 15 minutes walk to main train station and Xativa metro station. To get to hotel you don't need taxi, metro is enough (look for Petite Palace sign which is more visible than the name of the hotel which is only at front side of hotel). 3 minutes away is the first bus station at Via Grande Germanias (or something like that). They also rent bikes, but you have to reserve them soon as possible. Also we could leave elsewhere rented bike near reception, but we didn't use this.
