“on budget, good choice &great location”
We spent there 9 days, bc Valencia really deserve that time and even 3 to 4 days more. Hotel proves to be at a good location to reach the beach (bus 2& metro line 5) city of arts and science (bus 95) and on a walking distance to old city. The New City with big stores, cafes, large supermarket etc is on a 50m walk, metro from the airport (take 3 or 5 line change on Angel Guimera to line one, one stop to Turia) is right in front of the hotel, bicycles are available either through hotel or in front of the hotel. Although very boring and with no touch of design hotel rooms are clean, sheets are changed regularly, beds are ok and the bathroom is ok (although no toilet brush!), TV set is old but ok, refrigerator works well, all in all everything for somebody who doesn't ask for much but likes clean room and good sleep. Cleaning staff will not interrupt you if you put the no disturb sign. Bad sides: Internet is expensive and extremely slow. Do not use it at all. Deposit boxes are on the ground floor and cost 2 euro per day. Walls are thin and you can hear every step. We were there at the end of September beg October so not too many guests, and no loud guests, but still every careful step on the upper floor is heard. Staff more or less speaks English and is clear about the directions. Tourist busses stop 50m from hotel. However, do not go to Albufera it costs 15 euro and there is nothing to be seen. Walk as much you can or use a bicycle to check Turia park. Go to Biopark.
“Pictures are a little diceaving”
The outside of the hotel and the lobby of the hotel are pretty nice. They have a pool on the roof which is also pretty nice. The reason I gave the hotel such a low score is because it's really old and outdated. There is nothing special at all about the rooms. The elevators seem really old and have a hard time closing the doors sometimes..which is a little creepy. The hall way (at least the floor we were on) was also kindof creepy looking. We had a room facing the street and the noice from the street wasn't that bad but you could here almost everything from the room next door. If you're going for La Tomatina, it's a great hotel as there were First Festival Tour set up there and another bus that left from there and dropped off at the hotel. We didn't have any plans on how to get to Bunol for La Tomatina but bought tickets the day before for 15 euros round trip from the guy who was set up in the lobby selling tickets. It worked out perfectly. Most of the people in the hotel were English speaking but not all the staff was English speaking. I would say this is a hotel for younger groups traveling cheap and don't mind what the hotel looks like. It's definitely not romantic. It was very clean and very convienent but just really, really old!
“Handy Valencian Hotel”
Second time I have stayed here. This time I paid extra for a superior room. Well worth it. Hotel is handy for travel into centre of Valencia. Hotel is next to shopping centre that has some nice eating areas. Will stay again. Internet rates are a bit high.
“Very adequate for our needs.”
Although the internet was not working well, the staff was helpful and pleasant. The availability of coffee in the morning would have been a nice touch.
“Expo hotel in Valencia, Spain”
Hotel is in a convenient location and reasonable room conditions for the price.
“Will stay again!”
Staff helpfull, Remember this is a 3 star Hotel! Hotel is close to shops and eating areas! Rooms are a little bit dated and can become very hot and stuffy! Aircon does not seem to be able to be controlled in the room. Opening window helps,however with Hotel on main road traffic noise is very loud. Will stay again. Internet access a bit expensive!
“Can't wait to go back to the Expo and Valencia”
The staff at the hotel was very friendly. This is our second time at the hotel and I am looking forward to visit again. It has a great location.
“Great Location”
Hotel is clean, reasonably priced and located right next to a metro stop. You can take the metro from the airport with one transfer. Lightweight shower curtains are a little annoying. Electronic room keys are good. 24 hour computers with internet access in lobby was reasonably priced but a little slow. Easy to get around the city by bus / metro. .:) Try to stay relaxed, no one is in a hurry in Valencia.
“good hotel”
the location was the best!
“Excellent Staff, Great Location, Good Value”
This hotel is a great money saver. We vacationed in Valencia on a budget, so we chose the Expo Hotel. The service was awsome and much better than the service in some 4 star Spanish hotels that we have stayed in. The staff are kind and professional. The location is terrific. It is part of the Nuevo Centro Mall. There are 3 El Corte Inlges Department Stores to the side and in back of the hotel. It is El Corte Ingles heaven! One of the El Corte Ingles buildings is a supermarket, which is a great place to save money breakfast. There are many fast food restaurants in back of the hotel including McDonalds and Burger King. Our favorite was called Falcon. They have some awsome pastries. There are some larger restaurants there as well, including a Turkish restaurant. Also, in back of the hotel there are some amusement park rides for childrern, including a bungee cord jump. The hotel is a good place for families. There is a Metro stop in front of the hotel. You can get from the airport to the front door of the hotel entirely on the Metro train. There is a bus stop and a taxi stand in front of the hotel. Taxis are available 24 hours. The hotel is 30 years old, so it is not without problems. The decor is not stylish. The room doors slam loudly when they close. The rooms are not sound proof. These were minor incoveniences to us because of the excellent service, great location, and money savings. We love Valencia and we had a pleasant stay at Expo Hotel.
