I stayed at Meliá Valencia for one night and had a great experience. The room was clean, spacious,…read moreand located on the 22nd floor, with fantastic views over the city. The hotel has a swimming pool. It's not very large, but it's still a great amenity, especially during the warmer months. There's also a cocktail bar that stays open until 2:00 am, which is perfect if you want to relax after a day of sightseeing or work. The restaurant deserves a special mention. The food both looked and tasted like fine dining, and the overall quality exceeded my expectations. Expect to pay around €100 for lunch for two without alcohol. Parking at the hotel costs €28 per day, but if you don't mind walking a few minutes, it's usually possible to find free street parking nearby. Meliá is one of Spain's largest hotel chains, with properties across the world, including countries such as China and Tanzania. Their mobile app makes booking and payments very easy, and it's clear they're building their own travel ecosystem. If you value consistent quality and predictable service, it's worth checking the Meliá app instead of relying only on booking aggregators. In my experience, prices are often competitive, even though the chain tends to advertise mainly its more expensive room categories on sites like Booking.com. Overall, an excellent stay and an easy five-star rating. I would happily stay here again. My only complaint? After we stayed here, my wife got completely hooked on the Meliá app and now refuses to stay anywhere outside the Meliá chain.

Let me start by saying this: If this hotel is within your price range, please DO stay here.... If…read moreit is not, I totally understand. I'm not trying to flex on you, I'm just stating the facts. It is on the high end of the price spectrum...for the area, but not by much. This was my first time staying at this brand. Place looks great and super fancy. Very impressive! Everyone is amazingly friendly and welcoming! Rooms are awesome! Cleaned and spacious. Food is great! Had a Club sandwich and was amazed at its architecture and construction. It had chicken and corn added. Hey, it was delicious!!! Sorry not picture... I was hungry. I had other meals for which I'll post some picture of. Beers were fresh and conversation with host bar tender was excellent. Overall, this place is excellent! Again, if it is in your prince range, I recommend it.

For the València leg of our trip, we opted to stay at the Westin Valencia…read more The first thing you'll notice is how beautiful this hotel is. The service from start to finish was top tier and they did everything to make us feel welcome during our stay. We arrived around 1pm and we were able to get our room right away. The rooms here are massive. We had a king bed room, and it was more than enough space for two of us. With separate living room and bedroom area it was such an amazing place to rest after each day of exploring. The room feels a little bit on the older side, with the fan making a loud noise that we just got used to. There's not an electronic thermostat so we had to run the fan on max to keep the room cool. We didn't really use any of the amenities or the restaurant on-site because we wanted to explore the city with the 3 days we had here. They are renovating the gym, but they have a partnership with the gym across the street, which is available to use if you need it. Aside from the hotel, I think the location was perfect for us. We were a 20-minute walk in any direction from all the main sights and restaurants we wanted to explore. The hotel itself is quiet and far enough away from high traffic areas, so it was peaceful and serene throughout. Overall, loved our stay and honestly sad to leave because we loved Valencia and wish we had planned to stay more days here. Would definitely recommend this hotel when visiting the area.

Stayed for 2 nights last week while in Valencia. Although the staff was friendly and helpful, It's…read morenot really a 5 star experience. Rooms are clean but very dated. The mattress was not great. We were upgraded to a room with a terrace which ended up having a high wall blocking any view... kind of like a prison yard. The breakfast and restaurant were fine, but not exceptional. I should have paid more attention to the previous comments about the considerable distance to the tourist areas/things you'd want to see and experience on a two day visit. Let's just say we got a lot of steps in over the course of two days. All in all, nothing terrible happened, but we had higher expectations for a five star Westin.
