Bottom Line

A nine-story building on the outskirts of the old city, the Hotel Dimar is a contemporary, upscale hotel at a reasonable price. Those wanting an authentic Valenican experience will find the hotel is well-situated in a residential neighborhood with cafes, bars, and shops frequented by locals. Bicycles provided by the hotel make it easy for guests to take in the rhythm of the city. Renovated in 2009, the entire property gives off an air of modernity and openness. A delicious free breakfast includes hot and cold items, and there's even a Nespresso machine. Rooms are somewhat trendy, with minimalist furnishings, and some have balconies; some facing the street can be noisy.

Scene

Authentic Valencian experience in a bustling residential area

Connected to a row of similarly sized buildings, it's an attractive spot for all kinds of tourists and business travelers. The modern lobby and common areas have books and computers for guest use, and the laid-back ambiance makes it inviting for guests to linger all day.

Location

On the outskirts of the old town, in a residential area near bars, cafés, and restaurants

Located in a convenient, upper class neighborhood close to the center of town, Hotel Dimar is nestled in a peaceful enclave along a tree-lined street. Though it's on the outskirts of the old town, it's not too far from the the action, and the contemporary cultural center is about 10 to 15 minutes away on foot. The area offers guests a true day-to-day experience of Valencia, far from the frenzy of more touristy areas. A nearby park, which used to be a river, stretches from the old city to the beach, and there are plenty of restaurants, bars, cafes, and shops on the walk to and from the city center. Situated between between the old town and the Science and Arts Center, the hotel is close to public transportation via the Colon metro station (line 3 or 5 from the airport). The bus to the City of Arts and Sciences is a quick walk through the riverbed gardens, and the bus to the beach and restaurants stops just outside the hotel. The hotel offers bicycles for easy exploring. Adjacent to (old) River Turia, Hotel Dimar is ideal for walking and cycling. Overall, it's a great base for visiting different parts of the city, close to the main restaurants and not too far from the central city square.

Rooms

Boutique-style rooms are bright, modern, and spacious

Rooms at the Hotel Dimar are modern and functional, with minimalist decor enhanced by simple lines. Each room has a slightly different look, but all have a color palette of deep red, white, and grey, for an elegant and warm atmosphere. Decorative motifs on the walls vary from a classical music score to ethereal artwork, but in all cases the design is understated and chic. Beds are a nice size and rooms come with all the comforts one expects from hotels in this category (e.g. AC, minibar, TV, and tea/coffee-making facilities). The free morning newspaper is also a plus. Best of all, the bathrooms come with a generous selection of toiletries, including disposable razors, combs, mouthwash, and toothbrushes. In general, quieter rooms are found on the higher floors and at the back of the hotel, overlooking the courtyard. A word of caution when requesting a quieter room: some have less than ideal views (e.g. facing other buildings). Rooms are equipped with working fireplaces and some even have balconies.
