Hostal Venecia

Valencia


Right on Valencia's main square, this sumptuous building's functional interior doesn't give many hints of the noble exterior, but it offers compact modern rooms, many with small balcony. Rates vary substantially; it's a good deal if you pay around €80. Despite the hostal name, facilities are those of a midrange hotel. Strong points are friendly service and its prime location.
