Although I had requested a double bed and our room had two single beds, it was a good stay overall. The hotel is not very modern, but it is well located. Staff is friendly and helpful. Beds weren't the comfiest, but okayish for a couple days. Our room was a bit noisy as it faced Port Avenue. For the price it's fine

Haven't stayed for a long time but what made me impression how spacious the rooms were, how much it offered for it's price. Honestly this has to be one of the best hotels in the city in terms of value for quality. One of my favorite hotels. The only negative i found about the hotel was the shower, was a little too small and not exactly the most convenient, especially if compared to the rest of the bathroom, overall it gets the job done.

Old NH Hotel, rooms are dated but okay for some days to stay in Valencia, The breakfast adder (ca. 5€/person) is recommened as breakfast is good quality value. Walking distance to attractions (Expo, Ruzfa, oldtown), free parking nearby (if you find one at the river bench) and rates (60-100€) don't follow the impertinent dynamics of others nearby Recommended for some days due to location and value!

The room is definitely outdated, but clean, staff enters the room daily, cleans, does the beds and takes bins out. The 2 single beds that are put together are drifting apart despite having the breaks on. The breakfast is delicious, however after a few morninga you get bored of it due to the limited options available. Staff is very polite and helpful. AC is functioning properly - operated by a wall panel (no remote). Shower over bath - a bit temperamental. Water temperature is not consistent to wash your hair (if you have long hair or you like long showers). You set the temperature,then it goes hotter and hotter to then drop to freezing cold for about 30 seconds when is startes to warm up again All in all - price does reflect quality. If you don't mind having an outdated room for a cheaper getaway this is definitely the accomodation for you.

Hotel Villacarlos is located on Avenida del Port, a wide five-lane avenue with fairly heavy traffic. It is certainly not one of Valencia’s most photogenic areas. Traffic does decrease at night, but if your room faces the avenue, some car noise can still be heard despite the double glazing. On each floor, rooms ending in 1 and 2 overlook the avenue. Light sleepers may prefer rooms numbered 3 to 10. That said, rooms ending in 3 are quite dark, as their only window faces a rather narrow interior light well. As for the rooms themselves, they would clearly benefit from renovation. The parquet flooring, wallpaper and some pieces of furniture show visible wear. The same applies to the private bathrooms, which feel somewhat dated. This does not mean they are unclean — on the contrary, housekeeping does a very good job — but no amount of cleaning can fully disguise the passage of time. We were also surprised to find an ashtray in our room, which suggests that smoking is allowed in some rooms. Neither the bedroom nor the bathroom smelled of smoke, but it did leave us with a slightly negative impression. We would have appreciated being informed at reception, as we would have requested a non-smoking room just to be on the safe side. That said, the staff are professional and consistently willing to help. On the positive side, we appreciated having a small fridge in the room. It is also a thoughtful idea to provide a microwave in the reception area for guests who wish to prepare a hot drink. We liked the fact too that daily newspapers were available every morning, that the hotel offers a luggage room, and that there are two lifts. Breakfast did not strike us as exceptional, nor does it stand out for its variety. It is comparable to the buffet typically found in many three-star hotels. Regarding the area, Avenida del Port offers dining options for all tastes and budgets. While the avenue itself has little tourist appeal, it is very convenient in terms of services and public transport. Bus lines 4 and 92 connect the hotel with the city centre. For those who do not mind walking, the hotel is within reasonable distance of the City of Arts and Sciences in one direction and, in the other, landmarks such as Mercat de Colón, Plaça de l'Ajuntament, Mercat Central de València and La Llotja de la Seda. The Cines Babel, which screen films in their original version, are also very close by. All in all, this is a hotel we would consider returning to — provided we were assigned a non-smoking room numbered between 4 and 10.

This is a 2 star hotel so dont set your expectations too high . Beds were comfortable but limited pillow comfort. Our room was street side and it is noisy- ask for backside.Looks dingy inside, but some brighter lighting would definitely help.New bedding is soon to be needed.All in all, and 2 star at the best.

Very nice hotel. It is located in a nice area 10’-15’ away to main attractions in the city. The people at the front desk were very helpful from the moment we arrived, giving us answers to the questions we asked them about the city and restaurants recommendations!👍

Very disappointing experience. The entire bathroom was covered in mold, and the room and hotel in general felt dirty and poorly maintained. The staff and service were also extremely disappointing and unhelpful. Honestly, this hotel does not deserve more than 1 star. I would not recommend staying here and would definitely not come back.
