Sercotel Valencia Alameda 41

"The hotel staff were welcoming and check in and check out were easy. Our room was good. We loiked it's clean, modern design. There are plenty of places nearby for breakfast or dinner. It's very close to the ity of Arts and Culture and a 40 minute pleansant walk to the city centre. We did that walk three times but the bus is also quick and easy."

"Clean rooms. Comfortable beds. Good facilities. Friendly and helpful staff. Is well sited for a visit to all of Valencia because it is in the middle between the city centre and the beach and right opposite the City of Arts. Nice range of bars and restaurants of all types nearby. What more would you want?"

"This hotel is easily missed as a little entrance on the side of a big mixed use block. On arrival the staff were lovely and very helpful. Strangely the entire hotel is on the 1st floor and it spans the entire block. The room was nice. Our room faced the Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias. Would have been a better view if it was on a higher floor, but prety nice all the same. Big bed, sofa (I think a sofabed) Bed pretty comfy. A couple of criticisms... I wouldn't come here as a couple as a first time away. This isn't necessarily a criticism of this hotel - for this trip we stayed in 3 hotels and the same can be said for one of the other two as well. The toilet was behind a glass door in the room. There wasn't much in the way of soundproofing and the ventilation wasn't very strong. If this is your first trip away with a new partner that might remove some of the mystery in the relationship. :-) As the entire hotel is on one floor, if you're in room 122 it's a really long walk to the room. The shower takes a long time to warm up. I assume that's because the hot water tank is near reception. :-) Breakfast is in an adjoining Sushi restaurant. Options are a bit limited compared to other hotels, but it is tasty. On arrival you get a big glass of nice orange juice then some granola and joghurt and a really sweet, sticky croissant. On the first morning it included blueberries and the 2nd it came with a fruit plate. Tea and coffee. Then a few options like scrambled eggs, omelette, bacon and toast. The toast is a ciabbata-like roll. The scrambled eggs are a bit omelette-like. On the 2nd day I ordered just the roll and bacon and there was a *lot* of bacon. The area is quite lively with quite a few bars and restaurants although even the louder establishments aren't that loud late on. It also looks over probably my favourite buildings in the world - Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias. Would happily recommend this hotel."
