Hotel Petit Palace Germanias Valencia - Valencia

7.4

Hotel, staff, surroundings, and services combine to make this hotel popular with young and old alike. We have stayed here before and hope to do so again. We approve the new (to us), range of fare offered for breakfast, and enjoyed each daily start of our brief stay.

9.0

Fantastic stay at the petit palace, only a 5-10 minute walk from the train station (really!) and an easy walk to the downtown sector with all shops and landmarks. A nice neighborhood Close to many patisseries and restaurants in the immediate vicinity plus farmacias and supermarkets. Lastly a top notch staff. Augustin at the front desk was especially helpful. He sorted us out on any question and provided valuable information for Valencia and Spain in general.

7.6

We stayed in a triple room which was very clean but quite small. Fantastic for the price though. The bathroom was lovely, although the door didn't close properly and using the shower was like trying to fly the space shuttle!! The location is good, maybe a 5 min walk to the train station. The staff were very helpful and you can buy tickets to most attractions at reception. Would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay again if I went back to Valencia.

6.9

personale competente, gentile e parla italiano, eccellente il servizio offerto per collegarsi ad internet. Stanza discreta non ci è piaciuto molto la soluzione del letto a castello per la stanza da 4 , poca privacy per la porta a vetro in bagno. Manca parcheggio, necessario aggiungere al prezzo 17 € al giorno per parcheggio convenzionato nelle vicinanze

Beautiful hotel, fab location, great breakfast, extremely helpful staff

9.7

This hotel was a nice surprise regarding quality, price and professionality. It's a very modern hotel with perfect airconditioning. Good localization with a 15 min. walk to the Old Town and all it's restaurants. The breakfast was also great! Recommended!

9.7

modern, beautiful good located

7.9

travelled alone, the facility matches the description; generally - good value for money. Would recommend for business travellers or young couples.

9.6

Very clean, great breakfast, good location. Nice restaurants in walking distance ( 15 Min.)

9.1

This was a great value for the money. CLEAN. The woman at the desk when we checked in was amazing, gave us maps, marked all three with where the hotel was, where the buses ran. A lot of good information. As all say, the shower was amazing. Room was smaller than I though it would be, especially for a triple, but was just fine. Toilet paper seemed a hot commodity here, you barely got a full roll, with a partial roll as a backup. With three women in the room, we did have to go down and ask for more. The location was a decent walk away from downtown. Good exercise, but if you are not a walker, I would choose a hotel closer to the central part of town. i would definitely stay here again. Free internet downstairs was nice. I thought breakfast was great, and if you chose to have it at least two days in a row, they lowered the price.

9.8

This was an exceedingly pleasant stay at the Petit Palace. The staff especially were welcoming, kind and helpful. The breakfast was nice. The room a suprisingly pleasant place especialy with the large balcony adjoining. It was an excellent choice and the comments of other guests were very helpful. I particularly liked having a computer in the room and the bed was comfortable and roomy.

8.8

Hotel was as described, although beds felt a bit hard. Having free internet in lobby was a big plus. Staff very friendly. Parking garage spaces are extremely tight....there is not enough space between cars in garage. Hotel not located near turistic spots except for the City of Arts and Sciences.Web pages of hotel are pretty accurate.

7.0

Nice hôtel not far from center Good breakast but not enogh seats (impossibke to take it once)

9.4

pretty nice place to stay in Valencia. Pretty good decorated and furnished with high tech stuff. The staff is very kind and helpful.

8.9

Only stayed here one night, but would love to stay longer. If you are looking for a unique hotel this is a wonderful option. We stayed in a family room. The beds were very comfortable. The glass door was a little intimidating, but we covered with a sheet, so it was okay. It was an easy walk to the city center, as well.

7.6

+ hotel bien situé dans la ville, bon accueil,prestations de qualité, garage proche mais cher,bonne isolation exterieure,chambres neuves -mauvaise isolation interieure,porte entre la chambre et les toilettes salle de bain en verre transparent!!!

sorry for my poor english. We spent only 4 nights from the 22th till 26 december, with my husband and young son (7 years) we have family in valencia. It was the first time in your hotel. Welcome very pleasant, Room was fine, comfortable, with all commodities. Breakfast buffet wonderful. To find a hotel being accompanied with our small pet dog wasn't easy. You did it !Price/quality ratio excellent. We give your address to friends for America's cup. Perhaps it will be to late. We will come back. Let me know we had a nice hotel-restaurant Lmichelin, gaultmillau...)in a touristic french area a few years ago that we sold for health pb. We know about it ! Don't change anything. Hope to see you soon. Happy new year for all your staff. MH & Bernard LAFUENTE

El Hotel petit Germanias si bien no esta en el casco antiguo de la ciudad de Valencia, esta muy proximo y esta bien ubicado, cerca de calles y avenidas lindas para recorrer. El Hotel esta IMPECABLE, las habitaciones (suite) son muy grandes y no le falta nada. Ademas los concerjes fueron muy amables en todo momento. Pudimos comprobar que la cadena HI TECH tiene un nivel de exigencia elevado ya que tbn. habiamso estado en el Petit Bristol (en el casco antiguo). Gracias por toda su atencion!

a nice hotel, near the city-center the service at the reception was really good. I was there for 6 days

4.1

to much smoke at reception.....

8.8

Very nice hotel, near the city centre, possible to reach Calatrava complex by walking. We reccomend it!

8.2

It is close th Hell's Angel location.

9.2

This hotel was beautiful, but not as near to the main sites we wanted to see as we'd hoped based on maps. The immediate area does have some restaurants, groceries, and banks, but it took us a couple of days to figure out the quickest routes to places we were visiting. The staff were not always accurate with directions, sometimes giving us directions that seemed easier rather than more direct. Not a big problem, but frustrating in hindsight once we realized how much time we'd have saved! The weekday night clerk was very personable and friendly, always upbeat and helpful. The room was adequate in size for three people, but the beds were uncomfortably hard. The bathroom door does indeed have a see-through panel, but that is easily blocked, and should not be a deciding factor in your stay. The hotel does have free internet access, and a great breakfast (not included in the price of the room). They do not exhange money at the hotel, so plan ahead if your stay is on a weekend.

Due to the arrival of an organised group, we were ask to accept rooms at the Hotel Excelsior thus these comments apply to the Excelsior and not the Germanias

Deberia haber servicio de cafeteria sin desayuno buffet

Receptionists are very welcoming. We had quite a pleasant visit to the hotel!

9.4

We had a wonderful time in Valencia. The hotel is modern, fancy, the laptop with free internet in the room was extremely useful while checking for local info about opening hours, events, tourist tours, etc. We did not mind, but some people might not like the transparent glass bathroom door (it depend with whom you share the room I guess). Charming employees, located in walking distance to the center, the bus going to the seaside stops next to the hotel - great, we can recommand.

6.5

We stayed here for a weekend visit to the city. It was well located on the map as well as from the bus stop from the airport. It was also reasonably located to the center of town. The size of the room left a lot to be desired as well as the soundproofing of the interior walls. It was very loud in the middle of both nights as people were returning to their rooms on our floor. We were well warned about the glass door to the bathroom by other reviewers. That situation really does detract from the experience at this "high tech" hotel. I also did not find the shower to be all that amazing, but my 12-yr. old did enjoy it. As far as we could tell the only real "high tech" aspect of this hotel was the free internet connection. We did not eat here as we asked and were advised upon check-in that it was not included in our room rate. There are certainly less expensive places to eat within 5-7 minutes walk. I would have been more pleased with our experience had we not paid more than 100 euros per night for this room. The one positive was that it was clean! I wouldn't personally stay here again because it didn't feel like good value to me, but with a better room rate it is an acceptable place to stay.

6.6

L'albergo è centralissimo ma non troppo, in un quartiere piuttosto malfrequentato. Buona accoglienza, ma camera non pronta prima delle 16, abbiamo dovuto aspettare 1 ora in reception. Albergo discretamente pulito, molto hi-tech, personale molto cordiale e disponibile. Stanza microscopica (numero 604) al limite dell'umano, forse siamo stati sfortunati. Bagno con porta in vetro trasparente. Conto coerente col preventivo Venere, ma il rapporto qualità-prezzo è migliorabile.

8.6

Very acceptable accomodation ten minutes walk from the railway station. Excellent shower !

7.3

Location excellent walking distance to main attractions, not easy to find if driving. Room was clean and adequate for one night, not ideal for longer stay. No view from room whatsoever in fact curtains drawn when we arrived understandably so as they looked better than view, glass door to bathroom ok if couple not very private otherwise. Coffee/tea making facilites would be nice. Overall if you are just visiting Valencia for 1-2 nights and want a hotel close to all sights the hotel is great.

We had the best service from this hotel I think I have ever had. We had difficultly in parking our car in the car park cause it was to big. One of the hotel reception staff can with us in the car to try some other car park which we succefully found. THey were very friendly spoke perfect English. Told us what buses to catch to the waterfront and gave us maps.The hotelis not right in the centre but only a short walk 10 minuties to centro. The hotel room was very moderm and high tech. We had to be shown how to use the shower. I would throughly recommend this hotel.

8.0

Although the hotel and staff were welcoming and helpful, we felt that the later breakfast time at the weekends was unsuitable. We (and three other families) were leaving early on saturday morning and were unable to get breakfast (which we had paid for) before we left.

9.1

Hotel ist gut gelegen, nur ca. 5 Minuten vom Bahnhof entfernt, also kein Problem, zu Fuß in die Innenstadt zu gehen. Sehr modern eingerichtete Zimmer. Wenn ich nochmal nach Valencia komme, bin ich für den Superpreis bestimmt wieder dabei.

8.8

very comfortable modern rooms,although the see through bathroom door did require a blue peter intervention involving some sticky back plastic !( probably not an issue for couples). If you need to go to valencia then this is a good hotel to stay at.

7.6

Sono soddisfatta dell'hotel. Un piccolo commento: avevo prenotato una doppia, e la "porta" del bagno era in vetro, in buona parte trasparente e si apriva nelle due direzioni senza fermo. Ritengo che un po' più di privacy non guasti!

7.7

Das Hotel hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Insbesondere verdient das Frühstück ein besonderes Lob. Aber auch die Zimmer sind schön und modern eingerichtet. Das Bad ist grosszügig. Die Dusche ist so komplex, dass man dafür eine separate Bedienungsanleitung bräuchte :-) Leider sind die Wände etwas gar dünn geraten: bei lauten Zimmernachbarn kann dies den Aufenthalt etwas trüben. Trotzdem sehr empfehlenswert, besonders für Personen, die mit dem Zug unterwegs sind, da sich das Hotel problemlos zu Fuss vom Bahnhof "Estacion del Nord" erreichen lässt.

7.7

These review comments do not apply to the Petit Palace because on arrival we were told that they were overbooked and we should go to the sister hotel, the Excelsior. THis seemed to happen to quite a few other people as well so I think the online availability is rather suspect. Why don't they just advertise the Excelsior online as well? Basically Excelsior was a good hotel, next door to Hotel Astoria so more centrally located than Petit P. Quite impressed with rooms, breakfast buffet was ok, but not inspired.

6.7

The employees knew nothing abaout the bus or Metro (however, it is easy to figure out).

9.7

It's hard to believe, that this hotel is only rated with 3 stars. You got everything you need and more. The rooms are equipped with the latest technical stuff. We had highspeed internet access and a flatscreen tv. Of course there was a minibar too. But we fell in love with the shower. If you're once in you don't wanna come out again :-) But you'll have to try yourself. Also the employees were more than nice. Especially a guy called Joseph who was more than polite and helpful. Thanks for that again. The area is okay. Really close to the city, so you can reach everything by foot. And the breakfast buffet...superb! We really enjoyed our stay, and will definetely return. The only negative point is the bathroomdoor. You can't lock it and it is also possible to look through the glass. So you should only take a double room with a person you really like ;-) at least you're not an exhibtionist ;-)

8.0

Hotel situated a 5 - 10 minute walk from the centre. Rooms modern with lots of mirrors. Bathroom a good size, also very modern with a shower with a choice of shower heads and jets. Breakfast plentiful, but not enough tables to number of guests and can get busy, some people were having to wait a while for a table and there weren't enough staff available to clear the dirty tables quickly. We would go back and stay here again.

7.5

The hotel is clear and modern, but the rooms are very noisy because of the modern wood flooring. Sometimes it sounded like the neighours were actually in your room. The room seems rather small. The bathroom door was open glass, which did not give any privacy if you are sharing a room. The minibar snacks did not get replaced the next day. The breakfast coffee is from a machine which was a bit disappointing, but you can at least get very quick service! Apart from this, the service was good and the hotel overall was good value-for money.

9.4

Ottimo albergo tre stelle, al limitare del centro, vicino alla stazione del nord e a plaza de l'ayuntamento. Pulito, moderno, le stanze sono assai meglio rispetto alle fotografie presenti su Internet. Buona anche la scelta per la prima colazione a buffet.

8.2

The hotel is really nice, quite near the center of the city; clean and new. The pictures on the web site are true. If you are planning to go and visit Valencia and you haven't decided yet where to stay this hotel could be the right choice.

9.7

Getting in/out of shower could be difficult and top bed of bunk quite high for small children, no safety rail. Good base for local amenities yet short enough walk to all major areas. Enjoyed use of hotel and would recommend and use again. Very good value.

9.5

Great hotel for the price. Very 'high tech' looking rooms, clean and with a great shower! Breakfast was a pleasant surprise as not only did it offer a continental breakfast but a cooked one too and with no restrictions on eating both! Would certainly book a hotel in this hotel chain again.

6.9

Good quality hotel and room, close to city centre (5 minute walk) near main railway station

8.6

Supertolles, kleines Hotel der "High-Tech-Hotel-Gruppe" im Stil der 70er-Jahre frisch renoviert. Recht zentral gelegen; Frühstück entsprach mehr als unseren Erwartungen. Lecker!

9.4

L'albergo è molto carino ed accogliente. Ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo. Unico incoveniente: la porta del bagno è in vetro e senza serratura!

7.5

Modernes Hotel in einer ruhigen Gegend von Barcelona. Nächste U-Bahn Station ca. 5-6 Gehminuten entfernt, von dort ist man in knapp 10 Minuten im Zentrum. Die Zimmer sind sauber und funktionell eingerichtet, das Personal war freundlich und kompetent. Insgesamt ein angenehmer Aufenthalt.

9.8

Efficient, friendly, very good quality, room facilties excellent, shower amazing.

7.2

Mir hat vor allem das Multimedia Angebot gefallen (Internet...). The crew was always very polite and we enjoyed our stay so much. gracias.

9.8

wow, this place is unbelivable, high speed internet, 8 head shower, flat screen t.v for 80 euros a night unbelivable value. The room was actually better than the photos, it was very clean and very profesonal. I would recomend it it to anyone.

8.5

Great hotel in a good location, hard to beat for the price!

8.4

Stay in hotel was very nice overall. Staff was friendly. It is easy to reach city center/ public transportation on foot. However, there was some initial difficulty in parking the car. On a short occasion when the hotel was completely full, there was heavy contention for the advertised internet access and service cleaning the rooms was somewhat slower.

8.6

Manca il bidet I Bagni hanno le porte e vetrate trasparenti e non è possibile chiudere la porta.
