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.
A defining feature of the property is its artistic focus. Many rooms feature striking, backlit ceilings that display high-resolution photographs of iconic Valencian landmarks, such as the Silk Exchange or the Church of San Nicolás. This thoughtful integration of art allows guests to experience the city’s architectural beauty even while relaxing in their rooms.
Despite its intimate size, the hotel offers a wonderful escape with its seasonal rooftop pool and sun terrace. It’s the perfect spot to cool off after a day of sightseeing. The on-site Karak restaurant, led by acclaimed chef Rakel Cernicharo, is also a local favourite, known for its creative market-inspired tasting menus.
Its location is unbeatable for those who love to explore on foot. You are just steps away from the bustling Central Market and the historic La Lonja de la Seda (the Silk Exchange). The vibrant Plaza del Ayuntamiento and the city’s stunning Cathedral are also easily reachable, placing you right in the middle of Valencia’s lively cultural scene.
Whether you’re in town to wander through the nearby Turia Gardens or to sample local horchata in the historic Old Town, the hotel serves as a peaceful, stylish base for your Valencian adventure.
Expert reviews
“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.”
“This welcoming boutique hotel on a narrow pedestrianised street in Valencia’s Ciutat Vella (historic centre) lures those looking for a hip base with its rooftop pool, spacious contemporary rooms and inventive dining. As the name implies, you’re within striking distance of the wonderful Mercat Central market hall.”

Terrible tired hotel!
Great location, breakfast was fair.
Booked a twin room, turned up to a double room, requested twice for a twin upon booking, nothing could be done on arrival. Very poor. Floor was coming up in the bedroom next to the glass shower. Horrible smell in the hallway!

I would go back but would not book breakfast
Location, room upgrades and lovely staff
Breakfast was dreadful

Clean and within walking distance of sights but really over-priced for what it offers
Within walking distance of many of the sights of Valencia
The room was dark, there was no privacy in the balcony area. This would have benefited from some clear dividers.
The breakfast room was very enclosed and there were no staff to assist. The selection of breakfast foods was also limited.

Very nice and modern hotel in a great location
The hotel is modern and in a great location if you want to explore the city by foot.
The room was big and comfortable.
The breakfast was very nice - there were many things to chose from.
Also the staff was friendly and supportive.
It was not an issue for us but good to know: you need to reserve a spot for the pool as it is very small and there is not much space.

Amazing Location, Knowledgeable and Helpful Staff with Pool!
Every person I spoke with in reception was extremely kind and helpful. They were eager to make recommendations on restaurants, drinks, and transportation. They were also helpful with reserving pool time and any other general questions about the town. Really above and beyond!
The bed for me was quite soft and dipped so during the night my back started hurting and I'm a small person (5 foot 4 inches and about 120 lbs). Usually I never say anything about a mattress. It was fine, not terrible but because so much of the rest of the hotel was amazing, this was the one low point.

Excellent location with lovely staff.
The location was excellent, in the middle of the old town with shops and restaurants minutes away. Staff were very friendly and helpful offering some great recommendations. Breakfast was fresh with good variety. Although the pool was very small with only 4 sun loungers they had a booking system which worked very well.
The shower and toilet were separate cubicles with the sink in the main room. The shower cubicle only had smoked glass so not very private and ours leaked flooding the main room and toilet. They did try to fix and offered to try and swap our room. My friend’s bed was dipped at one side causing her back ache trying to stop from rolling off. They tried to fix and it was better for a short while then started to deteriorate again. Mine was very comfortable however.

Really enjoyed our trip to Valencia and the hotel contributed to this.
Location was great and staff friendly, the breakfast was also good.
Having to book a time to use the pool. We didn’t actually use this facility given that it wasn’t available when we wanted to use it.

Great location, kind and friendly reception staff and lovely pool.
Excellent location! Not on one of the busiest streets so we found it to be relatively quiet at night (our room was internal facing which probably helped) but close enough to the central market to easily access restaurants, shops and bars.
Room was clean, spacious and comfortable.
The staff were absolutely lovely. Friendly, knowledgable and helpful. They gave our little girl a rubber duck to play with in the pool which was very sweet. The pool although small (which we fully anticipated) was lovely. You have to book a 1 hour slot in advance which ensures the area doesn’t get too busy. We had to wait a couple of times, but it wasn’t an issue. We didn’t have breakfast at the hotel as so many nearby options so can’t comment on that.
I booked for 3 of us, myself, my husband and our 3 year old daughter. We then got a message saying our daughter could either sleep in the bed with us (it was a super king) or we could pay 40Euros a night to have a sofa bed in the room. I suggested we could bring a small inflatable travel bed for her and they said there would not be room. We opted for her to sleep in our bed. When we arrived, we found that there was a sofa bed in the adjoining room. When we queried it staff told us that this was all included as we had booked a suite, which I should I add had plenty of room for a travel bed. I thought this was poor communication on their front and could have cost us a necessary amount of money.
Air con only seemed to work in the adjoining room of our suite.

Nice hotel but check the situation with pool booking
Location and style.
Having to book a hour maximum slot for the pool- this was not stated anywhere on the booking.com listing when we booked.
10 July 2024
Overall pleasant, staff was very friendly
Perfect location for a proper sightseeing, small amount of rooms which is a plus, friendly staff
Pool regulation (booking of slots) super strict but nobody really cared afterwards. Expensive breakfast

To be able to chill around the pool was perfect.
Breakfast was ok. Shame they didn’t cook to order ie omelette etc. not too keen on microwaving my food. Staff were very pleasant and accommodating. Sadly some of the food looked a bit frazzled by the heat of the room.
Advertised bar etc but it was shut for some reason. I know there are a lot of bars around but at the end of an evening it’s lovely to just chill out in your own hotel.

Excellent location, comfy beds, good shower, quiet and cool plunge pool
Excellent location, right by the market. Lovely room with all the amenities (minus kettle like many Spanish hotels). Quiet, good shower and very comfy bed. Plunge pool was a nice added extra where we chilled as friends.
Rooms were a bit dark but ok! Shower smelt a bit damp.

Fine choice for one night stay
Excellent location, good staff, comfy bed.
A bit outdated room, with visible little damages. For example cracked plinth all over the perimeter.
We got a dark room facing the next building. Not a problem for one night stay, but still, the whole impression of the room is “cold”.

Good choice in old rown
Good central location in old town. Spacious room, very clean. Supportive helpful team. Good price performance.
Please replace your soap! 😂 It's hardly worth the name. Also, the bed was a bit strange, comfortable but slightly sloping at the sides. Restless sleepers might end up on the floor.

Great city hotel! Can't wait to go back there :)
Great location in the heart of the Old town. Friendly stuff. Clean, spacious rooms. There is a swimming pool as well, but we haven't used it in February. Breakfast was all right..
More fruits and vegetables in the breakfast menu would be good!

Overall a pleasant stay
Location was excellent. Staff were very nice and accommodating. Bed was comfortable. Accommodation was clean and well serviced each day.
Bedroom storage could be improved. We didn't like the low height of the shower and the door in clothes hanging area opening back to block off sink and we would prefer sink in the bathroom. There was an unpleasant smell on entering the room. Breakfast area not very inviting.

Great stay at a beautiful and very well located hotel.
Perfect location. Spacious, clean and stylish room. Very quiet. Amazing value for money.
The adjacent Karak restaurant is also most definitely worth a visit!
No coffee maker in the room.
8 January 2024
Enjoyable stay, luxurious room in this perfectly located hotel - shame about the breakfast.
Modern, stylish, clean, spacious, perfectly located, mini supermarket opposite, reasonably priced car park nearby, helpful and friendly staff on reception.
No coffee or tea making facilities in the room. We paid for breakfast and the hot selection was kept warm and the yoghurts were not refrigerated. Gluten free options restricted to lemon cake (no bread, crackers or cereals). Fruit options limited to apple, orange or kiwi.

Nice experience. Good for a short
stay.
Very convenient location to visit the city centre. Very big room. Nice design.
There wasn't any drawer or shelf to store clothes inside the wardrobe. Only the pole to hang on the jackets. The room has plenty of space and it looked, despite the design, that somebody wasn't good enough to finish the interior of the wardrobe. Also, the terrace was closed and although it was announced that the swimming pool was closed during this season I think it would be a good point to have the chance to sunbathe for a short time.

Great location & very quiet & comfortable
Location, pool area
Nice clean room & very comfortable bed
The breakfast was a little basic but fine
11 October 2023
Loved being right in the old town with everything within easy walking distance.
Room was very comfortable and spacious with a large and comfortable bed. The painted ceiling was great - our very own Sistine Chapel! The location was excellent, right in the centre of the old town. Staff very pleasant and helpful.
Was not keen on having the washing basin in the bedroom, would have preferred a more conventional layout with a separate bathroom. Also the high chairs and tables were not very comfortable for eating breakfast. Both minor issues though.
