Latest Review for Hostal El Cid
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Excellent location in the historical centre of Valencia with easy walking distance to the sights. The beach is about a 25 bus ride away. Clean and tidy, slight improvements would be soap for the sink in the room and towels changed every day instead of every 3 days (although they did change ours when we asked). Wonderfully informative and friendly staff, provided us with all the information we needed for our stay.

What ever your motive is for coming to Valencia, Hostal El Cid is the place to stay.
The property is located right in the heart of Valencia's trendy and hip El Carmen district, just a few minutes walk away from the Cathedral and Plaza del Ayuntamiento. Within close reach you find all the big tourist attractions like El Mercado Central, La Lonja, La Plaza Redonda, Los Torres de Quart y Serrano, IVAM, MOVIM, etc.
The property is just a stone throw away from the train station and close by you can jump on a bus or a metro that will take you to La Ciudad de las Artes y Ciencias or to the beach.
The property is located in a quiet pedestrian street in an old rustic Spanish house with beautiful ornaments and charming details.
In April 2008 it was taken on by a new manager and now it's undergoing a careful restoration that will turn it into a unique and comfortable base for your stay in Valencia.
The property has a total of thirteen individually designed rooms, mainly doubles and triples, four of them with bathroom. The rest share lavatory and shower just a second away on the hallway.
All rooms are spacious and plenty of air and light enter through the big windows. On hotter days you can also cool down with the air conditioning or fan installed in all our rooms. Linen and towels are included in the price and our cleaning lady will make sure that your room is always clean and tidy. Some rooms also have television.
We hope soon to be serving breakfast for an additional fee. Please contact the property for further details.
Our friendly international staff will make sure that you have a comfortable stay. If you have any inquiries, need directions or recommendations on restaurants, bars, clubs etc. don't hesitate in contacting us. Some of us speak English, Spanish, French, German and Danish.
Step out of your temporarily home and let yourself be seduced by the charm and laid back atmosphere at our property. We will be looking forward to welcoming you.

If you go in the middle of summer it is very hot as there isn't any air conditioning but fans are provided in the room which helps. Great for the price you pay. I would definitely recommend.
