Beach & Arts Hostel Valencia

I really liked the style of the dorm and bunk beds - it was like you have your own little cove with complete privacy due to 3 walls and a curtain at the end. There's also lots of space to put your stuff inside on a shelf - the only addition I would make would be some hooks on the wall inside to hang your towel/jackets (there were a few on the walls in the dorm though). There was a complete bathroom with toilet within the dorm to share and also one shower and two additional toilets outside for all other dorms to share (it was always empty when I used them). The check in was completed online and someone helped explain us how to access the dorm and the lockers using the link or code provided once we arrived, and the sheets were located in the locker (duvet on the bed). There was a nice big table outside the dorms as well as a workspace with sockets for charging, and a kitchen off to the side as well. I would definitely stay again!

The location is good although it is far from the center if you decide to walk. I would still like the option to have an actual key card or even paper with the codes written down because I was afraid to leave the dorm without my phone for fear of being locked out :))

They’re kind and responsive

It was not quiet enough

Very clean. Very cheap. Thus must be factored in when evaluating. Ventilation in rooms is excellent. Good night sleep. Guests were quiet. Top bunks have very deep overhang; no fall risk.

Slow checkin despite pre-checkin. No trash can in room. Plug-in air fresheners are toxic. Shower water is 34°C, barely lukewarm, barely showerable. No kitchen to cook.

Easy access via Mobile Code

Noisy people entering the room until 5am not understanding that others wanna sleep. AC wasn’t sufficient in 9 people dorm room
