We were impressed by Jamie’s Customer Service. It’s a receptionist who would always welcoming you with a smile even he is super busy and the only one at the reception! Anything we needed to arrange he did immediately without any delays. He is such an asset of the entire team of the hotel! Thank you Jamie!

..excellent location, fabulous buffet breakfast and friendly reception and breakfast staff. Let down by unfriendly (almost rude) bar staff on top floor. Very uncomfortable bed, you could feel every spring - definitely need new mattresses as not good for anyone’s back.

Great location and great view from room
Loved our stay here. Had a room on 18th floor with amazing views over the marina and beach. Bit disappointed as room description says you get a balcony but you dont really. Window opens at waist height and eben if you climbed out no room to stand? Hotel is in a good location on the edge of old town and near water front. So easy access everywhere. Airport bus stops 5 mins away on the front. Lots to explore in valencia and we got the tram to Benidorm and Elch for a day trip. Takes about an hour

Hotel was within walking distance to everything. It was very clean and the breakfast included option was good. However the doors in the apartments slammed shut if you didnt close them carefully and we heard this constantly from other apartments.
