Hi, I wrote this review to Ciao.es and now I've translated the text to english. I'm so sorry for mi english and I hope you'll understand me.
******************
He wanted 2 monthss to go to Valencia in a planned escape a thousand times and never carried out until it finally came, and I liked it very much. We therefore recommend that a city has much to offer visitors in many ways. It is a city that has almost everything.
And so the weekend was round, was in much the choice of this hotel, one of the best I have ever, I promise. Everything was perfect to go all round.
Before you start, and I strongly recommend it, always thinking that it has 4 stars and are really worth. Always clear, depending on what you're looking for. Explain how you arrived at this conclusion with all the details that my mind cover. Come as you teach.
Why this hotel?
As I mentioned, had long been thinking of a hypothetical trip to Valencia and it was always an option. And even without looking in depth, you missed an eye to a travel page to see things as price, location etc and I sounded a name. Thanks to last year because I was working in Valencia and I stayed at the Rey Don Jaime, knew more or less in the city to seek shelter.
If I had stayed in the Rey Don Jaime, why not this? Mainly because that the company paid for hotel jejeje. And now I am very happy'' 'The Tryp Oceanic''' is much better and cheaper.
And finally seeing that he could go to this beautiful city, and looking more seriously. But no, not just decided by the options emerging in searches. We decided that from Friday to Saturday (two nights) with breakfast. So the dance began to appear in data. Or too expensive or too cheap to take a sack by the center of Valencia or even in neighboring towns. Despair, lack of ideas, and so very expensive prices.
So in a display of "nose up" I opened the Google Earth, put the city of the arts in the center, I came to accommodations on the map, and gave it to a close.
I say to the name, Valencia NH or something. I went on the web, and was blocked. I retry and the same.
Second option, because this one is near. I went on the website and the rest is history. TrypOceanic.
And that's all a bit of bounce and coincidence, eh?
The reservation
When viewing on the Web features of the hotel, and a picture of the situation, I looked at the info
of bookings is where you can see the prices and different options for rooms.
There was a double standard, with two beds, no view. A double with terrace, a double Premium, a mini suite, including family rooms with bunk beds and so on. Know whether there were suites, but I do not remember him not pay attention.
The standard room, including breakfast for two nights and went out for about 170 Euros.
However, down, after all options had an entry, do not know if it was offered, but if option, which by 237 euros, in addition to the standard room, or Tryp is called, you had tickets for two to the city the arts and as it was what we wanted to do, because it had everything in one. Perfect.
== Reaching the hotel ==
Reaching the hotel is not complicated, is very prominent in an area beside the mall and in front of the Aqua Calatrava bridge going towards the city of the arts. One of the great advantages of the hotel, and you report on the website and then at the reception is at'''5 minutes' walk from the city''. That is undoubtedly a lujazo.
It has a circular door that these in turn and put the leg that always jeje. Have directly opposite the reception. A very nice girl (and efficient, as we met several times to our questions, and mention them) we met, we gave the reserve (printing received e-mail) and told us we had reserved a room Tryp voucher tickets the city of the arts.
15 euros per night, in total, we offer the Premium, I had a few advantages, free internet, many more amenities, more room and comfort, double bed etc, until a bathrobe. Do not hesitate and said yes.
In addition to the entries so we gave it when, after dropping some firmitas is the official entry valid for 3 things,'' 'Prince Felipe Museum, the Oceanografic and Hemisferic'''. As more passengers came and such, he invited us down to the time and explain in more detail everything about this.
Before I forget, the hotel is close to a blue car, but one of the streets surrounding area is not blue, so giving a small vueltecita, if you're lucky, you can leave the car parked with no problems. It has a parking lot worth 15 euros a day, which we did not have to use, but if you ask, because as soon as I arrived, parked in the blue zone (it was at night). And the receptionist very maja, we explained how the parking service, but if we saw a hole in the street, without any compromise aparcáramos outside the area was good, gave us a few explanations of the parking areas.
When you move your car from the Blue Zone, after collecting the latest bags, to find a place near the door, where parking is free and no longer moved throughout the weekend until we leave the hotel. Worry-free and well. For this excellent side.
Well, give us the cards on the door, gave us on the top floor, a sheet with information from the hotel, breakfast etc, climbed into the elevator.
There are two elevators and is a scenic Cachito Calatrava Bridge and the city, in addition to the English Court of the Aqua shopping center is at the side of the street. I liked that they were elevators outside.
Arriving at the room, carpeted, clean and quiet. The hotel is 2003 and not look old. All very smooth and careful.
== The room ==
Well, simply, the best I've ever been. Spacious, large and with many details.
Open the door and a small hallway with the bathroom door on the left, the cupboard to the right and the room at the bottom.
A double bed for 2 meters greets us (actually two 100 boards, but with same sheet and quilt.
A bathrobe with slippers than the hotel, perfectly packaged.
On the right a piece of furniture with a TV, not flat, but quite correct. Desk with his chair a kind of kettle for coffee and tea (with azucarillos, milk and tea tubs). A catalog which offers room numbers, times, room service menus etc.
Also in the same cabinet, down in the mini armarito a fairly comprehensive and expensive and affordable price, no, not caught anything.
An armchair and a small table with 3 catalogs the city. Two tables. The bed with 4 pillows, two per person, plus one more square in the closet. Moreover, very comfortable.
The windows of the room, giving the building next door and a corner cutting-English, come on, that was the downside of the hotel, because the other one can see, just a bit, because there are few buildings in front, the arts . But it really is not something that I give much importance, we were going to be virtually in the room at night.
Certainly there are no blinds, curtains and 3, a stopper for any light that comes out of the room.
The TV had about 35 or so channels, including Canal + and a number of digital as the Discovery Channel (which I love by the way).
Well we're going to the bathroom, red marble, a large single sink, a hob and a large mirror. Bidet, toilet and bath with a glass screen. The amenities, lots, brush your teeth with cream, razor, shaving razor, comb, shower cap, Kit for tired feet (with cream, deodorant, toothbrush etc), bath salts, Towels intimate (not but it was my girlfriend jeje) and something else.
Hot bath, telephone in the bathroom, and set of towels. All very practical, very ... not luxurious so to speak.
The cabinet, with enough capacity for free and safe, which always comes in handy in all hotels and n is a free service.
Bed, very comfortable, pillows, sensational, I'm not like a lot of pillows in hotels by Blandengues.
In short, perfect, best in my state.
Room service, called at the door the first day at about 9:30 am when we were awake seen to begin to work. It is also true that he had not hung the cartelito not disturbed. Asked forgiveness and such. I recommend, in the hotels who are caught breakfast, do not hang down while it is disturbed, because if you climb up and take whatever you want to leave the rest of the day, you will not find anyone limpiándote room, and the rest of the morning, when they want it cleaned.
Hotel Services
Let's talk a bit on the Internet. The hotel has only wifi in public areas, whether in the cafeteria or lounge. I just look at them and the area was a common room with couches and tables cuckoo very center of the truth, so if I had fallen down, no problem.
For rooms, is a paid service, except for the upper class, and the Premium, I mentioned that it was free. But by not having cable, silly me, I have already learned the lesson to the next, I asked at a reception that gave me no problem, signing on a piece of paper. (Then I saw the account by requesting that the "rental" of cable, worth 5 euros. Anyway, so you notice that wifi in the rooms are available, and you carry cable comes free.
You are given a sheet with the username and password that you enter when you connect to the Internet.
The reception, as well, when we came back down, and more calm, told us everything about other times and in the city of the arts, with a mapita, pointing entries, important sites to see recommendations of the first the average time of each visit and so on.
Moreover, as we said that we had not ever been to Valencia (a half-truth), gave us a map of the city, we explained the areas of interest, both cultural, tourist, restaurants, etc in addition to running a small guide us.
On the back of the hotel, we also said, there is a bus stop, which leaves you in a direction in the center of the city and the other goes directly to the beach. Although we do not need, we noted the location and everything.
Finally, among some other things, that if the Internet, that if the parking plan in the tour guide explained, to give us maps and guides, I must say that the treatment correctísimo and very pleasant
Restaurant
To the left of the elevators in front of them, is the entrance to the dining room. Is not very large, about 20 tables, so if you're late for breakfast you can wait a bit.
Breakfast is but remember, 8 to 10:45, then quite large.
The first day we were about 9 or so because we wanted to see the city of the arts and day remoloneamos over that at 12 we left the hotel and we wanted to be more rested. We expect no more than 4 minutes.
We had breakfast included. Is continental and very abundant.
More juice, the orange natural, richer! Various cold cuts, various kinds of breads, toast, butter and jam, assorted pastries, on the day and very good as Neapolitan, donuts, muffins, muffins ... Cheese, cured, goats and spreads, quince, and various fruits with good appearance, yogurts, including some with homemade jams that were very good.
Omelette, scrambled eggs, bacon, fried eggs, churros with chocolate pancakes with chocolate, coffee, colocaos ... and no unemployment. Everything was very rich, a rich buffet. The treatment of waiters, who would have to tell you when entering a room, excellent.
Other ...
The hotel has a pool that we saw from the outside, just for the summer.
Dan lunch and dinner in the restaurant but not at it so I can not think.
Next to the reception and the entrance door is a small café, nor use, nice looking though.
The first floor has meeting rooms for events and stuff.
Location
One of the best things about the hotel is the location. It's like I said, 5 minutes walk from the city of the arts. A 2 km drive, no time to bone, from the city center and the same for the beach, well maybe a little more.
There is an English court to the side, but also a shopping center full of shops and restaurants within walking with'' 'Mc Donalds, Hollywoods Foster, Wook, rods and caps, cinemas etc''. Ideal site for a quick look at and to eat dinner at 5 minutes from the hotel.
Concluding
4 stars is a very well taken, one of the best hotels in which I state. Price 270 Euros in total, with entries, but that would be around 200 for two nights. Two people, 100 each, it is not excessive prices for the commodities produced, the comfort of the room, exceptional location, parking on the side, and a long ecétera which made things very much worth having hosted the penalty it's great to spend a weekend and meet Valencia.
A sincerily '''YES''' from Corus =)
I hope you'll be useful. Regards.

I would like to be able to give this very detailed review a higher rating, but the English translation is too bad to understand it very well. If you could get an English-speaking friend to help you translate, it would be a great idea. : )
