the first thing one notices at the Beleret- the rooms are HUGE! and more importantly quite clean and nice considering that it is a three star establishment. the hotel is on the very outskirts of valencia and not in a particularly nice neighbourhood but it isn't that bad either (no scary/weird folks and very safe). however it is very well connected to the metro which is just round the corner and also with a night bus up till 2.45 am at very reasonable prices. staff are very helpful but are not very good in english and also not very accurate in handing out information. on the whole it is very good value for money. it is also very near to the airport. only let down is the continental breakfast which was crap to say the least as all the pastries given were extremely dry!!

I had to laugh to myself reading what “charley 77” (below) wrote in German about the breakfast buffet because in my opinion he really hit the nail on the head. The staff were friendly and obliging but we did feel as if they were watching a little too carefully for us to feel comfortable. Likewise we did hear a lot of noise from the bar opposite in the early hours of the morning but otherwise we were more than satisfied. In 9 nights we had 8 different hotels on the Spanish coast but never a room better than the one in the Beleret, it was huge, well furnished and absolutely clean. The staff were all very friendly and efficient and for a large city it was really worth the money even considering the disturbance due to the noise. We didn’t have a huge choice for the evening meal but we enjoyed it. For the price we paid I can definitely recommend this hotel to anyone and that is why I have given the hotel 5 star in spite of the small grievances.
