A very good stay

We had a very comfortable stay in a good hotel in a great location. The gym was good to use and we enjoyed the breakfast. All of the staff were good with one exception.

City Break

The location of the hotel is ideal in the centre of the old town, surrounded by so many good restaurants and easy walking to the main attractions. Our room was spacious and comfortable with the walk-in shower that I had requested. All the staff were really efficient and very helpful. If there is any negative point it is that the bar does not open until 20.00 to 23.00 hours, to late to have a pre-dinner drink before going out to eat.

Great hotel in a great location

Having read previous reviews we chose this hotel based on it's location and we are so pleased we did - the location is perfect - a few moments away from placa de la reigna and placa d'adjuntament with good transport links across the city. The hotel itself is a beautiful building based on a corner - so pictures make it look smaller than it is. We stayed in room 502 - a room facing a quiet street - a basic room - well laid out - using space for built in wardrobe very cleverly - the only problem with this was the location of the safe - on the top shelf - I know why it was located there as it was the only shelf wide enough to take the dimensions but for a little shortstop like me (5ft 5ins tall) it made it difficult to access (I ended up standing on a chair to check I had emptied it at the end of our stay). The twin beds were very comfortable and provided a good nights rest following a busy day sightseeing. The bathroom had a powerful shower as well as bath and the usual toiletries found in hotels.- on a personal note I would have liked to have had a hair conditioner as well as shampoo provided - but this was easily fixed by buying a bottle of conditioner for the duration of our stay. The room was cleaned daily and it was bliss to return to a clean, quiet environment - thank you Martha - our cleaner - your assistance made our experience at Catalonia Excelsior very enjoyable. The main reception of the hotel was always clean and well presented - there was plenty of seating around so you could enjoy a drink and watch the world go by. Staff were very friendly and helpful - they would always offer a friendly greeting as you entered or left the building and would assist with any query that you may have had. We did not eat breakfast in the hotel (hence the 4 star rating) as there are so many venues outside to try . . .from coffee shops, restaurants to the big fast food chains - you can buy a meal to suit your needs (and tastes) at almost any time of the day. If we return to Valencia we will certainly choose Catalonia Excelsior again.

Sorry, I do understand this question

Excellent Hotel with wonderful facilities and restaurants. The only negative part of our experience was that an unpleasant toilet type waste smell came from the bathroom washbasin. We reported this to staff on reception on 2 separate occasions but but if an attempt was made to eradicate it the smell remained for the whole 3 days of our stay. However, we will probably at the Hotel again on a future occasion.

Very good overall experience

We booked a double room on 4th January 2019 but received a twin room on our arrival. As we arrived late in the evening, we didn't bother asking for a change of room. Notwithstanding, it is unacceptable to be given a twin room when we had a confirmed booking for a double.
