Axel Hotel Valencia – Adults Only
This is a lovely hotel, great location and very friendly receptionists At the time of booking it was not made common knowledge that this is a LGBTQ hotel…….. however, it didn’t ruin our weekend for us, as this hotel was perfect and it didn’t bother us for the status of this hotel.

MYR Puerta Serranos
Had a lovely base to explore Valencia from. Lovely team at front of house and housekeeping. The room was lovely sized, clean and everything we required. We wished we had a coffee machine. Staying at this hotel made it easy to walk everywhere and easy to use local transport. Keep up the good work ...
