Hospes Palau de la Mar

Wonderful stay for Valencia Marathon 2024. The staff were so friendly and kind, the breakfast was great, and the room was very clean and luxurious with a great view. I highly recommend. Excellent location for marathon as well. Thank you Palau de la Mar!

The hotel is in a great location about a 10 minute walk from the town centre . The room was very comfortable. We had a large bath and walk in shower . The breakfast was excellent. The staff were so helpful . The spa is very nice .We had it to ourselves .

The staff were friendly and helpful from the outset and, remained so. The hotel is a beautiful venue, breakfast time worked well and love the fact that the breakfast times were adjusted for the half marathon on the Sunday. Room (310) a little bit small but nicely done. We will be back!

After staying in Madrid, this was a welcome change. It was modern and everything worked. The staff were very helpful including the cleaners. The breakfast was good and the restaurant was just as it should be. The staff in the restaurant were helpful. It is a good location for exploring Valencia.

We had a pleasant stay in what I would categorise as a 4* hotel that needed attention if it was to retain that star rating. What I liked: 1. The staff were all very pleasant and I suspect that the issues that I raise were not their fault but rather the fault of the systems in place. 2. The bed and pillows were comfortable. 3. The hotel was conveniently situated in the old town. What needs attention: 1. Our room was a ‘deluxe’ one I assume based on size alone . But it needed some serious TLC- the grout round the bath needed attention as there were sections that were black; the wooden ledge against the wall had a hole in it in which someone had put a used coffee pod; the ledge was chipped; the bedside light didn’t work as I discovered on the last night. 2. Breakfast was extremely disappointing for a 5* hotel. The first morning (Thursday) was chaotic with not enough staff to deal with the customers - the first coffee ordered when we sat down arrived but a second one never appeared and we gave up; the coffee machine and ‘system’ of serving it was hopeless even when the restaurant wasn’t full- a second cup was very hit and miss in that it might arrive or it might arrive and be awful; while the food was nice no one seemed to keep an eye on whether things had run out which they often did. If there’s a huge choice that might not matter quite so much but as there wasn’t, it did matter. 3. Many clients will leave for very early flights as we did. I would expect in those circumstances to have the cost of the last breakfast taken off the bill or more agreeably to be provided with a delicious picnic breakfast as we were done months ago from the wonderful Hotel Casa Cacao in Gerona. Neither were offered . The hotel could do so much better !
