Hospes Palau de la Mar

We ate the tasting menu at the restaurant. As for atmosphere, this is very much a hotel dining room. But we were well attended and courteously cared for. Over all the menu was good and well balanced, however, there were certainly elements that weren’t to our taste. For example the cod’s cheeks dish lacked texture and was almost unpleasant to eat. Sous vide must take some of the blame for this. The meal was value for money and we would recommend it to others.

My friend and I had an amazing stay at this wonderful hotel. The staff were all fantastic and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. Adrian and Carlos were great at helping us organise our few days in this beautiful city. We would both heartily recommend a stay in this hotel.

Bit disappointed as I always book based on a swimming pool. I have to swim. The pool is actually only a jacuzzi which could have six people in when you want to swim. Plus this is indoors so no access to sun and water at the same time. Food is good. Good restaurant attached. Interior design a bit cold in my view. Staff lovely. Very strong air con

I have a lot of confidence in the Hospes hotel brand and my first visit to the Palau de La Mar hotel in Valencia lived up to my expectations. This is an excellent hotel for a city centre stay in Valencia. The room was exceptionally comfortable, the bed and air con system were perfect. I was right on the front of the hotel on the main road but with the good soundproofing and blackout curtains you would never have known there was traffic outside, I literally didn’t hear a thing. The room was kept spotlessly clean and the room staff were highly attentive. The location of the hotel is central to all the main sites. There are many restaurants and bars close by, as well as the city shopping area with all the main designer shops. The two main RENFE stations are a 30 minute walk away. There is an excellent bus service to the beach a 5 minute walk away from the hotel door. No. 95/93 for only 2 euros. You can have a day at the beach and be back in the centre of a great historic city in 15 minutes. The spa offers massages, a small indoor pool and sauna, these were also good. For a 5 star city centre hotel I thought all prices were reasonable. In addition to the central convenience and physical comforts, my main reflection is on the friendliness and professionalism of the staff. My warm welcome at the front desk with the offer of a cold drink was just what I needed after a long journey. As it was my first visit I took up the offer of a free tourist map and Fede took the time to give me information which I used during my stay. Carlos was helpful and friendly with local recommendations and tourist advice. Thank you guys! I didn’t eat in the hotel but I can recommend the bar where the coffee and cakes are delicious and the staff are attentive. As a solo traveller, helpful and caring staff mean a huge amount and I really felt at home at the Palau de la Mar hotel, I would highly recommend it and would stay there again in the future.

My stay at Hospes Palau de la Mar was exceptional from beginning to end. This was my first time visiting Spain, let alone Valencia, and I’m so glad I chose this hotel. I would especially like to thank Chiara and Agathe, who went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. I had a bad fall shortly after arriving and was struggling with severe knee pain, making it difficult to walk. They were incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely caring, always looking for ways to accommodate me and ensure I was comfortable. As a hijabi woman, I also deeply appreciated how inclusive and considerate the entire team was. Whether it was the reception staff or the spa team, everyone made a real effort to accommodate my needs, particularly regarding access to the spa and jacuzzi. I never felt like I was asking for too much—everyone treated me with warmth, respect, and genuine kindness, and that meant a lot. The hotel itself is stunning. It beautifully blends the charm of a historic building with elegant modern design. Everything was impeccably clean, peaceful, and maintained to a very high standard. The location is another huge advantage. It’s right in the heart of Valencia, with most attractions, restaurants, and shops just a short walk away, making it the perfect base for exploring the city. Luxury hotels are remembered for more than their facilities, they’re remembered for the people. The team at Hospes Palau de la Mar turned what could have been a difficult trip into a truly memorable one. Thank you to everyone, especially Chiara and Agathe, for making my first visit to Spain such a wonderful experience. I would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Valencia.
