“Nice Little Hotel Near the Centre”

This place is exactly what it looks like on the web, the price is right, and the room is comfy enough to have a good rest. The bathroom bit crowdy, but everything is in order.

This place is exactly what it looks like on the web, the price is right, and the room is comfy enough to have a good rest. The bathroom bit crowdy, but everything is in order. Friendly staff, professional, and helpful. All in all, you got what you expected and the location is perfect. The only thing to be improved is the availability of hot water. One can barely survive without a cup of tea. Or two.

“You get what you pay for”

The location is great, 3 minutes walking to the main central Plaza Del Ayuntamento.

The location is great, 3 minutes walking to the main central Plaza Del Ayuntamento. When we arrived before check-in, staff weren't particularly welcoming or friendly and made us pay in advance full amount for the 4 nights. Also they want to know in advance at what time we want to have breakfast. Didn'tt understand why this request. Anyway, breakfast is basic, only 2 different qualities of industrial bread, drinks from the machine, no eggs or fresh fruit. Lift is really smal as the room was, no street view, very thin walls . I guess they keep this type of poor Rooms for guest who make reservation through Booking. With a little effort from the staff and managment this hotel coudl be much better.

We stayed at the hotel for a couple of nights & chose it as it was the most budget-friendly option for central Valencia. The hotel was not very responsive when we made contact before our travels. When we arrived before check-in, staff weren't particularly welcoming or friendly but we were able to store our luggage which was helpful. Although our booking said check-in was from 2pm, we were told it would be around 2.30. The room was a good size & generally clean. It was quite dark & old-fashioned compared to the lobby & reception. There was a window but this faced an inner courtyard/ shaft so there wasn't much light. There was ample storage space but toiletries were in little tubes which wasn't very environmentally friendly. There was a hairdryer which was helpful. The main negative was the lack of charging points. There was only one plug socket near the floor next to the door so it was really odd! When we had an overall clean of the room, some bits were also a bit dusty. The hotel does get quite noisy & you can hear it when neighbours are in the shower etc. On the first morning we woke up, we could hear a lot of noises before we got up. Perhaps it's the layout of the rooms which amplifies the noise. It has an old caged lift which is really retro & cool but quite small. We used the stairs so didn't need it but it might be a hassle for those with huge suitcases. The hotel offers breakfast for 5 euros but it didn't look particularly inviting so we opted to eat out during our stay. The best thing about the hotel was its location which was between the old & new parts of the city. It was around 10 minutes' walk from the Xativa metro station & Estacion del Nord with easy access to transport in Valencia & beyond. Overall, we liked our stay in Casual de la Musica & wouldn't hesitate to stay there again but it's probably not the best for long stays.
