“Great value, friendly staff, flawed location”

Silken Puerta Valencia

11 Mar 2007
3/3 found this review helpful

With the forthcoming America’s Cup, Valencia is finally getting its fair share of the international limelight. I was traveling with a friend and we needed two rooms, so each was single occupancy – not always a very economical way to travel. Yet The Hotel Puerta Valencia was superb value for money. I found a rate on the internet of only 58 euros per room, per night! (That´s about 75 US dollars or 40 GB pounds). I had originally found a wonderful looking boutique hotel in a converted townhouse, but it was almost 4 times more expensive, so the Silken Puerta Valencia seduced me on price alone. Looking at the hotel’s web site I thought we couldn’t go badly wrong – and we didn’t.
I concur with the other reviewers that the accommodation was excellent, with spacious rooms and clean bathrooms both with a strong, modern design.
We found the reception & bar staff to be really friendly and helpful. For example, when we first arrived, late at night straight from the airport, we were offered rooms next to the lifts; not one of the greatest locations. When we asked if we could change rooms, they swiftly reallocated us rooms without a problem or attitude.
Talking of location, this is definitely the hotel’s greatest weakness. Although close enough to a metro station and only about 15 minutes walk from both the attractive town centre in one direction and the stunning City of Arts & Sciences (CAC) in the other, the immediate neighborhood is dominated my drab and dull apartment buildings and tired looking shops and Asian restaurants. Normally a 15 minute walk in a new city is a pleasure, a chance to explore and discover. However we ended up using the inexpensive cabs to “fast forward” us to our destination so we could speed past these dull streets and spend time exploring in more inspiring environments, and believe me Valencia has plenty. Since the hotel was great value, understandably it had a high occupancy level at the weekend, with domestic and international guests - plus we were just entering the famous Fallas festival season, so the hotel was not exactly a haven of peace. Our rooms were well insulated from the streets outside, but less so from the internal corridors and the of noise chattering guests returning to their rooms (which at 3.30 in the morning seemed so much louder than it probably was)
Finally, on my favorite subject of coffee, I was disappointed to say that the coffee at breakfast was not good at all – again a case of fancy espresso machines not be fueled by decent coffee beans or operated by trained staff.
I think 2007 is the year to visit Valencia. Even if you are not nuts about sailing, the city has a well preserved historic old town with tapas bars and restaurants, whilst its elegant period avenues provide opportunities for retail therapy and the ultra modern CAC is like a theme park with world-class architecture. Go a little further and you discover the port, undergoing a renaissance thanks to the forthcoming America’s Cup, as well as stunning, broad beaches lined by restaurants serving paella, for which the city of rightly famous.

1/1 found this review helpful

great hotel, helpful staff, specially in the cafeteria bar. picture does not do it justice, We stayed for 3 nights in march and found it very convenient. Only a few niggles, no coffee or tea making facilities in the rooms, take a travel kettle!! and the breakfast buffet was never very hot, but apart from that - great

a tip though, overnight parking is 11 euros per night, well worth it, but if you eat in the hotel, there is a little card by the TV which if you get stamped each time you eat, entitles you to free parking, every little helps !!

We stayed here for 2 days at the end of December. It is a very modern hotel with a very pleasant and accomodating staff. The location is a bit of a drawback, in that it is away from the city center, but it is less expensive than those hotels as well. We took the metro one day, and the next day we walked to the city center...it really is not a bad walk. You are quite close to the City of Arts and Sciences from this hotel, about 10 to 15 minutes on foot.

We had 3 rooms there. My son and his wife were in a room facing the courtyard of an apartment complex, and apparently had some noise issues 1 night. Our room faced a narrow street that got little traffic, but we were directly above the garage door to the hotel's private garage, and I heard it open multiple times up until about midnight. I would request a higher floor in the future to get away from that noise.

The private garage is a definite plus, very safe, and only 10.5 euros per day.

The bathrooms are excellent and well stocked, and the rooms themselves are spacious and clean. 2 of our rooms were triples, with a portable bed brought in for our teenagers. The rooms are big enough to accomodate these easily.

The neighborhood immediately surrounding the hotel is not attractive, but it is safe, and it is a short walk to a busy and modern shopping area. It is also a short walk to the Turia river bed gardens.

All in all, a very good hotel and good value.

We booked our hotel on last minute and it was excellent value for money. A clean, modern hotel, with light airy rooms. On arrival the staff were lovely and recommended a great traditional spanish restuarant a short walk away. We stayed for three nights at the end of October and found the hotel to be a great place if you want to go out durring the day and crash out at night. The only down side was that the hotel is a bit out of town, but having said that the metro line is only a five minute walk away (right next to the football stadium) with a direct route to the old town, and the gardens are only a short walk away to. There was also a lack of tea and coffee making facilities in the room, but a relatively cheap mini bar which we took full advantage of!
If you are a late riser like us and miss breakfast or want a cheaper option there is a little bakery near by. Take a right out of the hotel and it is a 100 yards away.
We really enjoyed our stay and would love to go back and visit Valencia again.

“Very Stylish Hotel”

5/5 found this review helpful

Stayed in this hotel for 1 night on the 4th Sept. I must admit having read the previous review I was concerned at what we were going to find!! However, the hotel was excellent , the staff very friendly & helpful in both Spanish and English. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and basically we had no complaints.
If there as a down side it was probably location in that we were half way between the city centre & the port, and there was little within easy walking distance. However, public transport is good and taxis plentiful.
I booked this hotel through Hotel Club & got an excellent deal.
