The a/c was not working. Hallways are dark. Especially, by the elevator. Not one English speaking TV channel. Not many channels period.

The bathroom has this fake marble. It is slippery, becareful going in and out of the shower. Woke up with a back ache. The mattress must have been 100 years old.

Myself & my partner stayed for one night at the Hotel Turia in Valencia on 20 January 2010. We've visited Valencia before, but fancied an overnight stay after visiting some of the bars on the Valencia gay scene. We paid around 55 Euros for a double room & parking and that was all this hotel was worth; the hotel is very " tired" and in need of up dating. The room was quite large, but the furnishings were old. The bed seemed very well used (I had a spring sticking in my back all night!) and the bathroom could only be described as hideous. When we turned the water on to have a shower in the evening, the water that came out of the taps was brown, so we had to run it for about 10 minutes before it ran clean.

On the plus side, the hotel is in a good location next to the park & over the road from Ciutat Vella (Historic old town) & the Barrio del Carmen district, which we loved. The central bus station is also next door to the hotel.

If you can manage to get this hotel for a cheap rate I would consider it, but don't pay a high price as it is not worth the money.

This was the first hotel where on arrival at 10 AM we were advised to come later as the checkin time is after 12! Even in low cost hotels (usual for us) we never faced this. Anyway, we did come later and checked in.
The rooms were roomy and well furnished, although a little dated. The location is absolutely perfect as as the name suggests, it faces the dried out river banks of the Turia. A very large shopping center with good value is just across the road and WiFi is free but only in the lobby. At least the chairs there were comfy!
If I do visit Valencia again, would look for another option...

very clean, great location (2min walking from turia metro station and next to bus stop) confortable room and kind personal! didn't have breakfast included but you can walk to the front corte ingles and have it by yourself!
there's a safety locker but you have to pay to rent the key! free wireless service in the hall!
