"Great location and I enjoyed the little balcony. The restaurant near the hotel was quiet by around 10pm, so this was never an inconvenience."
Petit Palace Plaza de la Reina Hotel
Petit Palace Plaza de la Reina Hotel"Great location, amazing staff."
"It was as if every staff member was personally invested in our satisfaction. Our stay was so wonderful we hope to only stay at Only You wherever we go."
"The property is new and very clean and well maintained. The rooms are small but manageable. There was no place to put clothes other than pre-set hangers (6, I believe) attached to the walls. No drawers etc. No luggage holder. If staying a short time, no big deal but I was there for just under 2 weeks. So the luggage was open on the floor the entire time. There was also no English TV which for a longer stay was a bit annoying. Overall though, I will stay there again. Very clean, good shower,...
"I admit I didn't have much time to explore the Zenit Hotel, but the little time I had I spent it wonderfully."
"Lovely spot in the heart of Valencia. Great staff."
