Motilleja Holidays

Great location, parking, nice staff, good breakfast

This hotel was okay, but not as nice as I had hoped. We had an oddly shaped room (the hotel is curved) which made our room quite small. We should have asked for different room when we first got there, so that is on us. Also the hotel is quite far from the historic area and the beach, so we walked a lot.

The Hotel is in a fabulous location in the historical part of Valencia however despite it being centuries old our room was a grey concrete painted box. Our room was a good size, very dark with an open bathroom! Not sexy at all when you’re travelling with a friend!! when getting ready, one of us had to brush our teeth with our eyes shut as the other one had a shower. There is a fridge in the wardrobe with a couple of soft drinks, one packet of crisps, and one tin of olives. This was meant to be replenished on a daily basis but wasn’t. There are no tea or coffee making facilities in the room so every time you need a hot drink, you have to call to reception. The staff got so fed up with us calling, they brought us a kettle so we could make our own however didn’t think to bring us milk and teabags. The hotel has not been sympathetically restored and there is no space to sit and relax. The outside space is a small triangle of decking with room for 15 people to sit, and a fish tank which they call a swimming pool. Our room overlooked a derelict building which was being renovated. The restaurant is a Michelin star with a limited menu, the bar is in the foyer. The breakfast was €29 each, and was mediocre at best. In our opinion the hotel does not represent a 5 star hotel, but it had ensured it had loosely ticked the boxes to meet the 5 star criterion. On a positive note the staff were amazing. We left disappointed and wouldn’t return or recommend.
