Top Santa Barbara Hotel Reviews

Novotel Valencia Lavant

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was very good. Nice clean room. Easy check in. Rooftop Pool and bar very nice."

Melia Valencia

8/10 Good

"I travelled with my husband and 2 children aged 6 and 9. We booked a junior suite which was spacious and clean though could do with better lighting . FOOD Breakfast was nice with plenty of fresh fruit but would have been elevated by having a fresh egg station - you could order omelettes but this wasn’t advertised. We ate in the lobby bar on the first day and ordered burgers - one came so rare it could not be eaten, we were not charged for it but I think this is a basic food that should be right every time. The staff were friendly in trying to rectify the situation. LOCATION It’s a little further out from the old town and main attractions but this didn’t bother as Ubers and other taxis were quick, journeys short and affordable. AMENITIES We specifically chose a hotel with a pool, it was small but ample for the purpose of a quick refresh but the pool is not heated and was very cold for both us and our children despite it being the middle of summer. GENERAL There were complimentary water bottles in the room on the first day but thereafter only included if you were staying on a premium floor. However, there was water available in the lobby so you could refill your own or plastic water bottles. Overall, it was a positive stay and we had a good time."

Only YOU Hotel Valencia

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely fabulous hotel. Beautiful rooms and extremely helpful and friendly staff. Definitely recommend this hotel for a real five star experience"

SH Valencia Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Pool staff were great although not much space for everyone it worked ok Lovely cocktails in the rooftop bar"

Barcelo Valencia Hotel

8/10 Good

"We loved the location, and the hotel was overall great - the breakfast is fantastic! The only complaint was the elevators; there are only three, and only two are working at any given time. One is specifically for freight. With that said, I would definitey stay there again."

Hotel Turia Valencia

"Staff, especially Ramon, were fabulous! We returned to the restaurant twice, just because of the service Ramon provided. The property was very clean and nice. The only issue was that the hotel only had one functional elevator for most of our stay."
