Hotel Vincci Mercat, Valencia
Hotel Vincci Mercat is a sophisticated boutique hotel nestled in the heart of Valencia’s historical center. Its prime location is arguably its best feature; you are situated just steps away from the iconic Central Market (Mercado Central), one of Europe’s oldest and most beautiful markets. The hotel offers a contemporary, polished design that provides a serene contrast to the bustling, colorful streets right outside your door.
One of the highlights of the property is its rooftop terrace, which features a refreshing plunge pool and a sun deck. It is the perfect spot to unwind with a drink while soaking in panoramic views of the city’s charming skyline, including the nearby domes and historic rooftops of the Old Town. The hotel’s on-site restaurant, El Bar del Mercat, focuses on fresh Mediterranean cuisine, drawing inspiration from the incredible local ingredients found in the market next door.
The hotel is perfectly positioned for history and culture enthusiasts. You are within easy walking distance of the UNESCO-listed La Lonja de la Seda (The Silk Exchange), a masterpiece of Gothic architecture, as well as the vibrant Plaza del Ayuntamiento. Whether you are wandering through the narrow, winding alleys of the Barrio del Carmen or heading toward the majestic Valencia Cathedral to see the legendary Holy Chalice, everything feels effortlessly accessible.
With its blend of modern comforts, prime location, and peaceful atmosphere, Vincci Mercat is an excellent base for exploring the rich heritage and culinary delights of Valencia.
Expert reviews
“In an ideal location near the Mercado Central, the Vincci Mercat is a boutique hotel that opened last year with 68 spacious, comfortable rooms and a small rooftop pool.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Valencia.
“Relaxing in the rooftop plunge pool and watching the sunset from the sun terrace are two super features designed to make this boutique hotel extra special. Its location in the middle of the historic old town is another major draw.”

Staff all very helpful and friendly
Great breakfast
Nice to have pool although very small area

Will definitely be back!
This is a great hotel! The staff, especially Paola, was kind and helpful! I mentioned it was our 40th wedding anniversary and they gave us a special treat! The room was clean, bed very comfortable and just the right size! Very centrally located. We did not choose breakfast because we like local coffee shops. Valencia is an amazing city! Definitely would stay there again!
Nothing!

If in doubt don’t be, hotel was very good.
Liked the location, the staff was friendly, we were able to get early check in, and we were able to leave bags at counter after check out. Bathroom showers were very good.

Great location, friendly staff and a warm welcome
The staff were very welcoming and obliging. The location was second to none. We really liked the pool area too, it was a small oasis in the city
There was what seemed to be a night club playing race music 2 blocks over that was open until almost 4 am on the weekend. Even with the windows closed, it was very loud and kept us awake. Not the properties fault, but I would plan my next trip for mid week only.

Great location, room size was lovely but just missing a few points
Staff were helpful and friendly
Asked for coffees at the bar, no one else was to be served but it took ages and the coffee was cold

10 out of 10. The location is great. Everything is walking distance but it's also in a quiet area.
The staff were amazing and so was the hotel. It's just down one of the many streets from the main area of Valencia so it's in a quiet area but within a few minutes walk to the main square. The room was very clean and we loved the little rooftop pool and lounge area.

It’s a nice hotel and can be recommended.
The hotel was comfortable, location was great and the staff were welcoming and helpful. In particular Giovanna who was particularly welcoming and checked in on us throughout our stay. Making sure all was well. She made the stay extra special.

Great City and not too touristy, well worth a visit but you must stay in the Old City
room was nice and clean and well appointed, modern and up to date. Kettle provided was efficient. Bathroom superb and excellent shower. Location was very central and within walking distance of most things. However Taxis are cheap so if it was more than 1/2 hour walk we got a taxi and walked back, no point in getting knackered.
Breakfast buffet was superb and plenty of choice with cooked options available if ordered ie fried egg, omelettes etc.. Staff friendly and helpful in all departments. Reception/Concierge always helpful and a big plus point was the client liason rep always on hand. The restaurant La Favole opposite hotel was excellent but not cheap, great pizzas and pasta tho... good service. Plenty of Tapas bars around (don't forget it's pronounced "Tapa") BUT trying to find a genuine one is a bit more of a task, so ask for recommendations is the watchword. Nothing to grumble about the hotel. One small point was I would have liked a grab handle in the shower for safety reasons apart from that all ok.
The Old City itself is quite compact and walkable and with map apps it's easy to find places. It's a lovely city and plenty of character. Make sure sure you visit the beach area lots of nice fish restaurants there. Also a MUST is the Cabanyal area near the beach, it reminded us very much of Havanna, Cuba. Well off the tourist track but a must see area.
The other big point of Valencia is although its Spains third largest city its far less busy with tourists unlike Barcelona (bonkers) and Madrid too..... We loved our week long stay there and would go back at a pinch but there's too many other places on the list.....
Metro stations need better signposting as they tend to be not were the name is, ie we wanted to get on at the Pont de Fusta station and the apps send you to the bridge of the same name which is 200m away! Street signage for the Metro is non existent. Also the tourist bus stops are hard to find and not well sign posted. Suggest you goto the main Tourist Guide Office and get them to mark on a map where things are, the Tourist staff are very helpful.

We were made feel very welcome from day 1. Without asking they provided a take away breakfast for 2 after they changed t
Was very central to all the tours and restaurants.
The shower in the bath can be a safety risk. No non slip mat provided.

Just book it!
Lovely staff - extremely welcoming and informative. Asked us if we wanted to upgrade to Junior Suite for a nominal price, which we did. They also gave me a couple of birthday surprises!
Food was excellent (breakfast) and so was our room.
Breakfast room is a little overcrowded - bit of a ballet to move around, but everything else more than over compensated for this.

Excellent location, welcoming staff.
Excellent location. Nice decor. Nice staff
Supply of toiletries felt a bit mean. They weren’t topped up at all during the stay. Breakfast could be better. No English speaking TV channels. Expected mostly Spanish but there was loads of German too.
