Expert reviews
“This friendly, family-run, 18-room spot occupies a renovated 18th-century posada (where wealthier merchants bringing produce to market would spend the night) and has cosy, good-sized rooms, many with balconies.”
“This former inn is located in the heart of old Valencia and has been welcoming visitors since the 18th century. The charming townhouse, run by four sisters, has been modernised into a bijou boutique hotel. Reasonable rates and proximity to one of Europe’s largest food markets make up for the scarce facilities.”

Lovely traditional small family run hotel in a great location
Lovely small family run traditional hostal in a great location just 5 minutes walk away from the fabulous Mercado Central. The owners are friendly, helpful and clearly very proud of their hostal.

A beautiful boutique hotel well managed by the best family business in the center of everything
It is centrally located in the Old Town and close to all attractions, cafes, bars and restaurants. A very nice family-run business: warm and welcoming hosts; friendly and helpful staff. The room is bright, quiet and very clean. The lobby has a tea/coffee area: cozy and comforting on a rainy night.

Friendly, homely Hostel in Central Valencia
Great central location. Lovely family run Hostel who were extremely helpful. Gave us a map with places of interest and suggestions of where to eat.
Room quite small for two people and the en-suite layout was awkward, (the front of the toilet was inches away from the side of the shower cubical). It was adequate for two nights.
We would stay again but ask for a bigger room.

Lovely charming hotel and staff
Loved the location, the staff and the hotel was charming. Great water pressure in the shower. Close to the big market, restaurants and so many attractions.
My husband loves soft fluffy pillows so didn’t love the memory foam.

Other Valencia hotels
The Westin, Valencia
The Westin Valencia is a luxurious five-star hotel housed within a beautifully restored 1917 industrial building. Originally constructed as a wool factory, the structure was a pioneering project in Valencia, representing one of the city's first uses of reinforced concrete. The architect Alfonso Garín designed the building, which blends a classic, monumental aesthetic with Art Deco interiors following its careful renovation into a hotel in 2006.
Fodors“Set in 1917 building in a quiet area of the city, this stately hotel features an enormous, lushly planted interior garden surrounded by dining terraces of its three restaurants. A high-end spa with indoor pool is another of its many amenities.”
One Shot Mercat 09, Valencia
One Shot Mercat 09 is a chic boutique hotel tucked away in the historic El Mercat district of Valencia. Housed in a beautifully renovated building, it perfectly balances modern aesthetics with the city's rich heritage. The hotel’s design, crafted by the Nonna Design studio, stands out for its creative use of light and materials, blending contemporary furniture with unique nods to local culture.
Lonely Planet + 1 more“Opened in 2017, this handsome hotel occupies a strategic corner in an area of quiet lanes near the market. With just 22 rooms, it’s a personal, intimate place with art exhibitions in the lobby and a lovely rooftop pool.”
Ad Hoc Monumental, Valencia
Ad Hoc Monumental in Valencia is a true gem for history lovers, tucked away in the city’s oldest quarter, El Carmen. The hotel is housed in a beautifully restored 19th-century bourgeois palace, which retains its original grandeur while offering modern comfort. It perfectly captures the spirit of old Valencia, featuring classic architectural details like high ceilings and antique furnishings that transport you back in time.
Fodors + 1 more“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.”
Hospes Palau De La Mar, Valencia
Hospes Palau de la Mar is a stunning boutique hotel housed within two restored 19th-century palace residences in the heart of Valencia. Known as the "Palace of the Sea," this property perfectly balances historical grandeur with modern design. The renovation, which notably incorporates a striking stained-glass skylight and grand carved-wood staircases, was crafted to highlight the building's noble past while offering contemporary luxury.
Frommers + 2 more“From the classic white exterior of this restored 19th-century palacio, guests would never guess at its transformation to a stylish boutique hotel where carved wooden doors, intricate ironwork, and a grand marble staircase artfully mix with such modern elements as steel and glass.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Valencia.
