Hotel Hospes Palau de la Mar | Valencia

This hotel not a 5 stars hotel but 3stars. The room is not spacious or luxurious. Bathroom is fine but not clean and old sealant edges. Also, the hallway smell bad. All staff are friendly & kind. The breakfast was amazing. Very fresh & well prepared. Love their service but not the facility.

What a transformation from before!! The rooms are great. The staff was always friendly but they have improved this place in an incredible way. Beautiful rooms, spacious and practical. So nice to see they made the effort. My compliments and appreciation. I can recommend this place to anyone without hesitation. 👍

Nice small boutique hotel. They could improve breakfasts (not enough selections of vegetables and the coffee is Nespresso and not real coffee machine ) ; and also I would add more amnesties to the shower / bathroom and suites. But in general we like this hotel.

Cannot recommend this enough! Excellent hospitality upon arrival and throughout Rooms were extremely comfortable and were cleaned and presented in a lovely manner everyday Great location and all staff were extremely helpful with any and all requests we made Would certainly stay here again when I return to Valencia A special shoutout to Jesus for giving us special treatment and letting use the leisure center whilst we waited for our flight on checkout day!

Wonderful place with amazing service and staff. Great location too. We were even offered a complimentary welcome drink. All the staff were very helpful and accommodating. They made you feel almost as though you were in their home. We were driving so they rushed out to take our luggage and park our car- very convenient.

We had a very nice stay here. This was actually our 3rd hotel in Valencia on our trip and by far the best. We booked a Dreamer Double Room, but I believe we got upgraded due to being Marriott members (not sure what level we are). It was a 10-minute walk to the Mestalla Stadium which is why we were here, but this is our favorite part of the town. Its also right next to a beautiful park and 5 minutes away from a nice eating market called Mercat La Boqueria (Central Market of Valencia). The room was spacious, the bathroom was large and very nice, the water pressure on the shower was fantastic. The wifi was a little spotty. The hotel staff was amazing! Overall a fantastic stay!

Very nice boutique hotel. Within proximity to city centre. Staff were very friendly. The morning breakfast is an extra treat. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone travelling to Valencia. ||The rooms come with fantastic amenities.

Very pretty well renovated hotel on fairly major road approx 15 mins walk to old town . |As at may 19th garden courtyard being rebuilt - so out of use I think for at least a couple of weeks - this also affects access to spa so also out if use. We were not made aware of this until 24 hours before so adding this here. |We used the spa before closure - but it is one floor underground and swimming pool 1m deep so not possible to swim - more of a jacuzzi . Only space for 4 loungers and very chlorinated - not a 5 star standard . |Rooms are nice with comfy beds and good design - all staff very helpful and lovely. |Just check availability of facilities.

Wish the rooms on my recent visit to Hospes Palau de la Mar were as easy to secure as a front-row seat to a telenovela! My train ride from Madrid thrummed with anxiety, each jolt matching my frantic heartbeat. This Valencian gem awaited, but the internet gods had other plans. My first booking attempt through Amextravel vanished into the digital ether, leaving me in a panic worthy of its own soundtrack. Salvation appeared in the form of Marriott.com, its sleek interface offering a lifeline. Success! A wave of relief crashed over me... only to be swept away by a horrifying realization. In my haste, I'd booked the same luxurious room twice. Visions of a doubled bill haunted me. Thankfully, the hotel staff proved as gracious as their elegant surroundings, and the folks at Amextravel were masters of undoing digital disasters. As the train screeched into Valencia, I stepped off, wiser and a tad weary. Lesson learned: sometimes, the simplicity of a phone call beats the thrill of an online double-booking debacle. After all, real life has enough drama without adding technology-induced chaos.

The moment you walk into the hotel, the friendly concierge folks welcome you with smiles and all kinds of helpful info to explore Valencia. This was 180 degree different experience from our previous hotel in Madrid, both being 5-star hotels. We received a free room upgrade and it was large and beautiful and quiet. My husband and our son enjoyed their swimming pool in the afternoon while I was working. I must say this hotel is being managed right. A couple of hotel staffs came by to give us a complimentary water and chocolate and to make sure we have enough toiletries. I will definitely come back to this hotel next time we are in Valencia and highly recommend to anyone! Especially if you have young kids, this is the place to be. Lastly, the location is fantastic! It's close to pretty much everything and within walking distances to all the museums and lots of restaurants.

Really beautiful hotel in nice location in valencia. A peaceful walk to the downtown cafes and square. Room is absolutely gorgeous and a very nice size for european hotels. Had a private little walkout balcony. Staff was friendly. If you are a starwood loyalist and are choosing between this and the westin, Id chose the westin. I stayed at them both and they both are great, but the westin beats it in service.

This hotel is excellent - it is located more in the center of town than it is by the beach. There is, however, a service that the hotel offers where the hotel will arrange for transportation to the beach and provide an umbrella rental, beach chair rental, water, another beverage, and towels in the price. I thought it was an excellent value and extremely convenient. The customer service we received was excellent. All of the staff was extremely friendly and more than willing to help us and answer any questions that we had. From what I observed, most patrons of the hotel speak English and I overheard the staff speaking very good English as well. The rooms themselves were very nice, although the beds were a little uncomfortable. The bathrooms had the scent of fragrance, which my sister and I realized was from the scented toilet paper! The speed of the Wifi in the room was good. There is a small, yet convenient gym, on site. The breakfast was good and featured a selection of different Spanish cured meats, fruits, etc. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking to stay in Valencia as the location is good and the service is great.

This is my second stay at Palau de la Mar. Two years ago I spent 9 days in this charming, modern yet cozy, beautifully designed boutique hotel sits quietly in the middle of a beautiful block filled with townhouses and historic buildings. Minutes from the bustling center of town, you might pass it by thinking it's another private residence. Elegant and subtle in its exterior, it is the perfect spot for the discerning traveler. The website doesn't do it justice, frankly. The white walls are warmed by the year-round Valencian sun, and the wood touches are the perfect complement. The entry hall has sky-high carved doors which bring you back into the past while the contemporary design lets you know you're in the present. The restaurant, Ampar, is outstanding. I can't remember a breakfast buffet quite as copious, or as delicious. Multiples of everything imaginable are arrayed beautifully and quickly replenished. And there's a menu of omelettes and other egg choices, made to your taste. For no extra charge. Wow! The service is lovely as well. One dinner in the same space was outstanding, as was the next one-- served outdoors in the beautiful patio terrace. A three course lunch including unlimited beverages and coffee, for 19 euros was a find. Aside from being delicious, the service was quite special. I just returned from my second stay, this time for 11 days. I would like to add my thanks to the manager of the hotel, Vicente Juanis, who showed concern, kindness and professionalism and a clear desire to make this hotel the five star establishment it is. At the end of my 11 day visit, I awaited my cab in the lobby. Señor Juanis came over at once to greet me/say goodbye/ see if I needed anything. The Palau is my home-away-from-home in Valencia and I look forward to my next stay in this beautiful, historic and warm haven. I love my home (Manhattan) but I was sad to leave this beautiful hotel. If you have the chance to stay here I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. You are in for a treat. ¡Gracias a todos!

I was totally blown away by this hotel in the heart of Valencia! First of all, the architecture is just beautiful. The foyer and reception is in good shape and the check-in was done quickly and friendly. The room we stayed in was soooo huge, the shower (kind of a walk-in-shower) was a dream so was the bath tub... Best thing in the bathroom: the amenities. No cheap crap but good, exclusive smelly creams and gels. One night we had a little snack in the hotel bar which was nothing special but nicely presented. At all times my partner and me were adressed by our names. WOW, cool. Breakfast was included and for the first time in a spanish hotel I experienced highly professional breakfast service. Our cutlery was changed after every "course". It seemed like nothing was too much trouble for the staff. We always had a happy start into our day in Valencia. The whole hotel was clean and well maintained (you dont see that too often in Spain). A total plus point is: it is situated only about 10 minutes from town! You reach everything in just a short time and there is absolutely no need to take a tube or bus to go anywhere. We parked our car in the garage and I think the price was 20€ per day but well spent: the streets are full of cars and only if you are really, really lucky youll find a parking spot. Usually, 5 stars in Spain dont mean 5 stars and more than once I have been disappointed by so many Hotels. But the Palau de la Mar deserves every single star and we were thrilled to have found such a wonderful place to stay in the most beautiful city in Spain.
