Quick glance:
+ great value for fab location
+ free wi-fi
- centrally controlled air conditioning
- tired carpets
The hotel offers great value for the central location. It's literally across the road from Colon Metro station (exit at the end without escalator) and is a stone throw away from various buses, including the circular route that takes you around the old town of Valencia. The hotel is located on the main street full of shops which is great for those who want to do some shopping in Valencia, and it's walking distance from old town Valencia.
The hotel has a small entrance and has an elevator to get you up to the rooms. Our room was comfortably clean but a little dated with tired carpet. The bathroom is big and clean and comes with a bath tub. The room we stayed in faces the main road filled with shops, so in the evenings our room wasn't in complete darkness despite our lights off and curtains drawn, although it wasn't a problem for us. Despite its central location, we did not find noise to be a problem.
The one downside is that the air conditioning is centrally controlled in terms of temperature, so you can either have it at on or off setting and it tends to stay fairly warm through the night. On the bright side, there is free wi-fi offered by the hotel which was a pleasant surprise. Overall, Husa Llar makes a great and cheap base for those who want to explore Valencia for those who are not after five-star amenities. read more
