Expert reviews
“This nicely designed 19th-century town house sits on a quiet street at the edge of the old city, a minute’s walk from the Plaza Almoina and the cathedral in one direction, and steps from the Turia gardens in the other. Owner Luis García Alarcón is an antiquarian, and the hotel reflects his eye for classic design and architectural elegance: original decorative brickwork, geometric tile floors, and curved ceiling beams.”
“Friendly Ad Hoc offers comfort and charm deep within the old quarter and also runs a splendid small restaurant. The late-19th-century building has been restored to its former splendour with great sensitivity, revealing original ceilings, mellow brickwork and solid wooden beams.”

Great for tourists or people on business trip
Nice, cosy hotel in the city center. Clean rooms with typical valencian ceilings. Breakfast is good, with a typical food choice.
The shampoo/body wash is provided in one-time individual paper wrappers. This creates extra garbage and is not practical, especially since there was no shelve to put them in the shower. A better idea would have been to use fixed containers in the shower from which you can squeeze shampoo or body wash. The air conditioner was somewhat loud. One of the staff at breakfast was not friendly and forgot to bring my coffee.

Had a really good stay at Ad Hoc with the exception of breakfast room. Would recommend this hotel for a stay in Valenci
Reception staff pleasant and very helpful. Location first class for the city. Front Rooms at Ad Hoc very spacious, quiet and comfortable. The decor is fab with old beamed ceilings etc. and everything exceptionally clean.
Breakfast would be fine if it was kept stocked up. Staff member was very slow to clear tables, restock food and had an extremely poor customer facing attitude to guests. The breakfast area was not a huge space to manage so there was no reason for the long delays and incorrect beverage orders etc Very disappointed with breakfast service.

Lovely historical building, area was perfect
I always look for hotel with outside area, where I can sit in the morning with a coffee however when I enquired where the terrace was staff looked at me blankly say no terrace, I actually went back to check hotel details and it does state terrace when there is not actually a terrace at the hotel… disappointing. Everything else was great, good value for money, pleasant in a convenient area for exploring València

Really great weekend in a beautiful city and lovely to come bank to our clean comfortable room each evening 😊
Great hotel with friendly staff and a large comfortable room. The location is excellent - 5 mins walk max. to Turia Gardens and the Cathedal in the other direction !
Not enough shower gel / shampoo provided - but that’s being picky !

Nice hotel on a quiet street
The room was comfortable and clean. Very spacious bathroom and really hot shower which was nice after really cold days outside. The location was also great and easy to be in the park or city center within a few minutes.
The walls are super thin, and we could hear everything happening around us.

A great small hotel in a brilliant location.
Friendly Staff, superb location and v.quiet. Excellent vegetarian restaurant attached to hotel...stunning vegetarian cuisine.
Breakfast not great for vegetarians.,. Please separate our eggs and bacon!! Would really appreciate access to English speaking news channel if at all possible but appreciate that we're in Spain, so not a huge deal.

Manager, Angelo, was friendly, fair and understanding. Great location.
The "triple" room with a much higher daily rate in the Booking.com is the exact same size as the double room. A third bed in the double room takes up a lot of space in a small room and the 33% increase is the rate is not justified for the same size room with an extra bed.

Drinks very expensive in bar, though it was not under the same management as the hotel.

Centrally located, walking distance to all the historical sites, etc.
Very transparent acoustically: we could hear chairs moved, toilets flushed and people talking in other rooms. Something to be aware of if you are a light sleeper...

The room was very warm, and as it was located on the first flor, overlooking a small patio and facing a door, opening the window was unsafe.

Very nice small hotel.
Breakfast was very good and the location was excellent.
There were some small issues with the room- noises from the toilet and dripping air conditioner. They were helpful and tried to fix them, but the problems were a little irritating.

The location is excellent. Members of staff were very helpful. Comfortable beds and large, very clean rooms. Breakfast offered a range of options including some hot food. There was even a kettle with a choice of green tea and chamomile tea bags.
Public space is limited but in all honesty we don't go to hotels to hang out in the public rooms

The personal touch of staying at a hotel is so much better than the hassle of Air BnB.
The hotel is within walking distance from the centre of the old town. It is also close to the park converted river that runs around the north of the old city, which is also great to explore. The staff are friendly and helpful. The room had character and was spacious. The bed was really comfortable. We were able to open the window as it was a hot night. Everything was clean. Only criticism is that there was no fan in the bathroom. Breakfast was more than adequate, with the variety and quality. The coffee could have been better.
See above.

Well situated, small and friendly hotel.
Ideal location close to the historic city centre and the riverbed park. Breakfasts had a good selection. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Each day had to put the air conditioning on to rid the room of bad drainage odours.
