Sicania

1. Hotel staff did not know English language. 2. On the terrace, Menu list must be in English, 3. Room need to be improved.

A good stay but spoiled to some degree that they booked a party of 100 school children in at the same time as we stayed. Hotel in a lovely location but fairly basic with very little beach / pool furniture and NO sun umbrellas which was a big concern to us in this age of skin cancer

Had a lovely relaxing stay at Hotel Sicania, just what I needed. The staff are very accommodating, even though my Spainish is extremely very poor, the staff were very helpful and able to assist with all my enquiries. I would definitely stay at this hotel again.

Hotel was very empty when we were there, however, it is considered out of season for them. Although area was very vacant as well. Looks like at one time city was very popular but now economy has hit hard in that area. The only thing I would of liked to see is room service. Other than that, room, view and staff were awesome.

A 1960s hotel that has been allowed to become somewhat jaded. Clean enough and OK for a one night stopover but not much more. It's situated right on the beach but far enough from the centre of Cullera to make it a very long walk if you want to see the town.

Very nice hotel and staff in a fantastic beach setting. We found that the only way we could find beach hotels was to ask directions from the locals. The signage and Google maps not detailed when in the beach area or could be the lack of street names! Great breakfast buffet. Would stay longer if not at end of our trip. Safe and scenic.

Very pleasant, staff helpful and gave us a nice room with a sea view, would stay there again.

The Hotel is old but very clean in the common area and the rooms. Staff was helpful and attentive but limited English. The food could be better but you would rather eat at the many topas bars anyway. Yes I would stay there again.

This is a very basic hotel with dated room furnishings. A few changes like new beds, addition of a mini fridge and a small table on the balcony (chairs are provided) would improve things considerably. The hallway carpets should be replaced with tiles.

Lovely, the hotel was situated by the beach. Rooms were very nice, clean and the staff were friendly.

We stopped for one night at the Hotel Sicania driving between Granada and Barcelona. The hotel is located on a very nice beach at the end of a nice boardwalk. The hotel is an older hotel and my daughter called it "Funky Retro". It is an older hotel that is clean and well run with on old world charm. We walked on the beach and walked down the boardwalk. It was easy to get to and not burdened with a lot of heavy traffic like some of the other hotels we stayed at.

The hotel is a bit dated, but it is clean and functional. The room had its own air conditioning which you could set to YOUR requirements. The staff were helpful. The hotel is right on the beach, so you can get to it without leaving the grounds The hotel does a set menu for food "buffet" , at a set price, which is expensive and dreadful, so eat out if you can.

Friendly well priced beach front hotel. I stayed in mid to late September 2011 still in temperatures of 25 - 28 deg, the beach is very clean, sun loungers are free to hotel guests. the hotel has a out door restaurant / bar where you can buy reasonably priced snacks and drinks before heading back to the beach, however if this doesn't appeal to you there are lots of tapas bars, cafes and restaurants to choose from along the boardwalk. The hotel is located around 45 minutes away from Valencia. A bus runs on the hour to Cullera station where you can get a train to Valencia for a few euros round trip (well worth doing). I would suggest to anyone thinking of staying at Sicania Hotel to learn some basic Spanish as I found that though the staff were very helpful communication would have been a problem had I not know some basic Spanish. If you're looking for a reasonably priced beach holiday, with a clean friendly hotel, it's certainly worth investigating. (Ask for a room with a sea view when booking)

We went to Spain to a Formula 1 race and to spend some extra time sightseeing. We did not one to stay in the city. We are so happy we found this gem of a hotel. The location is perfect. It is on the end of a beautiful boardwalk. You can walk in one direction along the sea. There are resturants along the walkway and little cabana bars right on the sand and it leads you into the town of Cullera for shopping and more bars and resturants. If you take a stroll in the other directions you can enjoy the sea view along with some other little beach bars and resturants. There is a little tour train you can take to the top of the castle which is a must. We had a car; but you really do not need a car. The train station to catch the local train to Valencia is a little bit away; but there is a bus that runs there and 1 taxi that we are aware of. Beware of the signs the say "McDonalds 5 minutes" it's really a much longer ride then that...note; we don't eat there but it was funny that all the signs say it. It was so easy to take the 38 minute train ride to Valencia instead of driving. The hotel is a bit on the older side; but kept up very well. There are not a lot of english speaking there; but with a smart phone and some patience it all worked out. The location of this hotel is perfect if you like a little the quiet less hussle and bustle beach hotel this is it. They have chairs and umbrellas/covers for the beach. The pool is wonderful also...but note...as with everything in Spain; things are closed for siesta. The hotels main dining room is nice; the breakfest was extremely overpriced for what you received. The beautiful young Irish woman who runs the Terrace Bar and resturant is great. I would suggest waiting till 10:30 A.M when it opens to enjoy a coffee and a snack. Her menu of sandwiches, salads and appitizers is wonderful...ask for Sam; she is the best! There is a store called Consume and it is local market; prices are very cheap. We walked there for water and little things we needed. This hotel does not have mini fridges in the rooms so if you want cold beverages you may want to buy a cooler. We were supposed to travel to Barcelona for 3 days before heading home; but we switched our travel plans to stay at the Hotel Sicania longer. We will be going back again just to stay there.
