Ad Hoc Carmen

Very helpful staff. Amazingly good location. Clean room. All in all exceeded our expectations in all good ways.

Woken up every morning EARLY to the sound of cleaners shouting outside my room, and constantly dragging heavy furniture along the floor repeatedly. Throwing bin bags up against my door. Unsure why this started so early as my room would not be turned until 4pm. Cleaners do not lock the doors after cleaning the room even though I specifically requested this. The walls are paper thin I could hear the people next to me dropping things on the floor, plugging their charger in, screaming at eachother. Absolutely impossible place to relax. Bedlam.

Perfect location. A taxi from the airport cost us €20. 3 minute walk to get to the main square (playa virgen) where there’s a couple of bars but if you carry on walking through it leads to lots more. The hotel is clean and pretty. Our room had an upstairs bedroom too but the stairs were a little risky and I wouldn’t have liked my son to be with us but for us they were fine. Rooms are perfectly suited for what you need and you get shower gel etc included in the bathroom. Reception is available 24h a day and they are very helpful. People have said the hotel is noisy…I didn’t find it a problem at all. Beds are comfy. Only downside is the air con doesn’t quite work to its fullest and struggles to cool the room down as it is a big room. It didn’t hinder our sleep too much though and we soon got over it, just would’ve been a little bit better if it worked 100%. Definitely worth staying here though purely for the location and cleanliness of the hotel.

To start with, the Hotel staff was great. Very helpful, friendly and supportive. Thank you!! Said that, even the best staffing and greatest location of a hotel is not able to rock it if the hotel itself does not meet basic standards. I clearly missed hygenic standards. The Towels in the bathroom were so old and „done“ that it felt disgusting using them. The shower was full of mold. After 2 days of our stay the cleaning ladies tried to get rid of, with limited success. Those things need to get done regularly! The bed was shaking and moved with every single movement. Never had such a low budget bed. We tried to avoid moving during the night. The comfort of the bed is personal taste, but clearly not met mine. The hotel was extremely loud and we could hear each word of our neighbors. They were not speaking loud, however the hotel walls are so thin. The entire hotel building is from the 15th century and the mentioned areas seems to meet the same decade, which is a petty, as if tge would invest some more love to detail on above areas + the nice staffing they already have, the hotel could easily a great place to be.

Great little hotel in a prime location. Really can’t fault this place. The family room was spread over two floors with a bed, wardrobe and bathroom on one floor and then upstairs a bedroom, large balcony (very safe) , bathroom and large landing area with pull out bunk beds. The stairs are quite steep in the room. Reception were extremely helpful. We’d usually stay in a big 4 star hotel but the best locations are the little hotels in the old town. This is a great choice.

This hotel is in a great location! It is less than 5 minutes to Plaza de la Virgen and the Valencia Cathedral is very close to that as well. The rooms are comfortable and the staff is friendly. They have someone at the desk 24/7 which is nice in the event that you have a late arrival. Rooms have semi-comfortable beds and have A/C which was a nice feature. For the price and location, you can not go wrong.

The location of the hotel Calle Samaniego 20 is excellent! It’s in the old town making it close to the historical sights. Plenty of cafes, restaurants and shops in the area. We even walked to the City of Arts and Sciences. Enjoyed Valencia very much. Christmas lights made it even prettier at night.
