With its neoclassical facade, the upper-middle-range Melia Plaza exudes Old World style. One of the most centrally located hotels in Valencia, it's next to the Plaza del Ayuntamiento, within walking distance of the cathedral. The lobby filled with polished marble and playful murals, has several seating areas. The 101 guest rooms have detailed molding, black leather chairs, and heavy early-20-century-style furniture. They include minibars, safes, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi -- and some have great city views. On-site features include a fitness center with the standard array of cardio and weight machines and a sauna, plus a rooftop terrace with a hot tub. Travelers should also check out the nearby Ayre Hotel Astoria Palace, which has more contemporary decor but slightly higher rates.

The 378-room Expo Hotel Valencia is popular with budget travelers and groups, though it’s more than a mile away from the city center and many historic sites. The nearby metro and bus stops make the property’s location convenient for guests who don't like to stay in the thick of things. Guest rooms are clean but plain, giving off a dorm-room vibe. Travelers who don’t spend much time in their rooms may be fine with few amenities, but those who prefer spaces with character will be disappointed.

Opened in late 2015, SoHotel is a contemporary three-pearl property that occupies a heritage building in the Boho-friendly Ruzafa neighborhood. Like many apartment-style hotels, it is short on features, and its 22 sparsely decorated, black-and-white units take minimalism to the extreme; nevertheless, they are roomy (some can accommodate six guests) and come with free Wi-Fi, sofa beds, balconies, and kitchenettes. The latter is outfitted with just the basics, but there are plenty of eateries in this up-and-coming area. Trendy bars, clubs, and shops are also plentiful, and numerous Old City sites are in walking distance. Vacationers looking for a full-service hotel with more amenities (including a restaurant, bar, meeting room, fitness center and round–the-clock reception desk -- all of which SoHotel lacks) should consider the nearby Hotel Zenit Valencia instead.
