Going on a holiday is the highlight of each year spent hard at work, dreaming of fun in the sun, winter skiing, trekking through jungles or whatever suits our fancy. Anyone wanting to visit Valencia is certainly in for the time of their life. You have everything from beautiful beaches that come up to your doorstep to an abundance of fine architecture in the form of museums, cathedrals and art galleries; exciting night life; fiestas, gourmet dinning and so much more. A full calendar indeed!
For most of us on budget holidays we are not too keen to overspend on accommodation especially when we are out and about most of the day and even at night. In this article we explore some of the cheap Valencia hotels available for the tourist on a budget.
The term cheap hotel does not necessarily have to mean sleazy or roach infested, as you will find when reading this article. If you search hard enough you will find little gems tucked away in Valencia, which will give you a truly enjoyable stay.
When looking for competitively priced hotels in Valencia you need to first decide on what you want out of your holiday. People go on holiday with different expectations; if you want the beach at your doorstep and cannot do without a sea view, then staying in the beach/ port area makes perfect sense. You will find good quality hotels and also a few luxury hotels.
If you want to just take an occasional stroll on the beach or visit it may be a couple of times during your trip, then staying in this area will be quite frustrating as it is rather quiet and boring. Choosing accommodation located at the Centro or city center will probably give you the best of both worlds. You get to stay in the very heart of the city and can explore at will; yet you are not too far for that occasional visit to the beach. Most of the sightseeing, eating, culture, nightlife and shopping is located either in the Centre or near it. Make sure you are comfortable with the hustle and bustle of city life before choosing accommodation out here as it can be noisy!
Other places like L’Example in Aragon which is located in the North West area of the city have reasonably priced hotels but do not offer any advantages, which is fine if you are just going to use your room to sleep in mostly.
The CAS as it is popularly referred to is a very upmarket area with expensive hotels you will want to avoid if you are on a budget. There are many business hotels as well, which are best suited for business travellers.
If you are a student or traveling in a group, you would do well to check out flats, apartments in Valencia, and even villas for rent. This option could work out to be quite economical for you if you share the rent.
