Good Value for money...close to the metro & railway station!......

I spent a few nights here as part of a trip to the Valencia area. The hotel is close to the train station and just outside of the old city center, so the location is great. This was my main criteria for choosing this hotel, and it was fine.
The closest metro station is Colon, but you can do alot of sightseeing by foot in the old city, main market, Mercado Colon, and taking frequent buses out to the Ciencias y Artes area, so only took the metro once to go to the beach.
The room seemed a bit rundown, the A/C was very cold, walls seemed thin and the staff on duty were unsure on how to set up a wakeup call for my early departure my third day. Finally, the third time desk clerk I asked gave me instructions on using the room's phone to program the wakeup call, which worked fine but how come the other staff were clueless? I speak Spanish so it wasn't a language issue.
I think, for the price, one could find a nicer place, but if proximity to the train station is important, then this hotel would suit.

Like others I found some of the desk staff rude. However, I was speaking English and I think the evening staff was comfortable replying no to every question. The first young woman at the desk attempted to assist us with Sunday night dining in the area. El Cortes Ingles (large department store) across the street has a large supermarket in the basement. the area is a downtwon business center but a few blocks away are lovely parks. The room was clean, with very comfortable bed, and thin-walled. OK for a short stay and a bargain at a last minute 50 Euros.

First time visiting Valencia, and chose this hotel at the recommendation of a friend. While the location was decent and the hotel was clean and the rooms decent, it was a bit far from the main attractions / plazas, and the staff were so rude and unhelpful, especially the restaurant staff, and the afternoon shift guy. Be very careful in Valencia, I was almost robbed, and stopped a guy from stealing another girls bag as she stupidly left it on the floor while she ate in McDonalds. Valencia was the only city in Spain (out of 8) that i visited where i felt unsafe. I cut my trip short by almost a week because I disliked this city so much, pretty much everywhere I went i ran in to rude people. Don't bother with the lousy internet cafe opposite the main train station, they are the rudest people, and their internet is way overpriced. There are cheaper internet cafes in the centre of town.
