Its proximity to a large shopping center (Carrefour) and ample free parking adds to its convenience for travelers.

The peaceful location appeals to business travelers and those on road trips looking for a quiet stay.
The breakfast service receives varying feedback with many appreciating the ample, hearty buffet that offers a good value for around €9.

Guest Reviews
Location
The hotel is situated near several beaches, though access is typically by car due to highway barriers and the absence of pedestrian paths. While the beach is commendably close—some guests report it being around 300 meters away—it’s not accessible on foot, which might be a drawback for some visitors. However, the quiet locale provides a peaceful getaway, particularly admired by those looking to rest during a road trip or business travelers attending nearby industrial zones.
Views of the sea and the chance to visit nearby leisure centers add to the appeal. Despite being a bit isolated, the hotel's accessibility to main roads makes it an ideal spot for travelers with a car who wish to explore both Valencia and its coastal areas.
Overall, while the location might seem remote to some, the combination of affordability, quiet ambiance and strategic road access makes it an excellent choice for those traveling by car.
Breakfast
Several guests highlighted the freshness and quality of the food with specific praise for the fresh pastries and natural orange juice. The breakfast staff generally receives favorable comments, described as helpful and attentive, contributing positively to the experience.
However, some aspects leave room for improvement. A notable number of guests found the breakfast to be monotonous with the same items served daily, which could be a drawback for longer stays. The limited variety of healthy options, lack of fresh fruits and vegetables and quality of certain items like scrambled eggs also attracted criticism.
On the downside, some guests found the breakfast offerings to be poor, unappetizing or not worth the cost with reports of items like the orange juice sometimes missing. The ambiance and service were sporadically described as chaotic with occasional issues regarding cleanliness and the attitude of the breakfast staff.
Overall, while the breakfast at Flag Hotel Valencia meets the expectations of many guests, offering a decent, varied and plentiful start to the day, there is still room for improvements in consistency, variety and service quality to enhance the overall breakfast experience.
Dinner
However, significant limitations were also pointed out. The restaurant's operating hours appear restricted, often not opening until late in the evening and sometimes skipping meal services altogether due to external reservations or limited staffing. Several reviews remarked on the cafeteria's high prices and inconsistent customer service with the selection being quite basic and, at times, insufficient. Furthermore, dining options in the vicinity are limited mainly to fast food venues, which detracted from the local culinary experience.
Breakfast also received mixed reviews, being described as chaotic and lacking variety, though it did meet basic expectations. The hotel’s location near a mall offers alternative dining options, including familiar fast-food chains like McDonald's and Carrefour, which some found preferable to the hotel's offerings. Overall, while the dining service at Flag Hotel Valencia has its strengths, guests should be prepared for limited options and potentially consider nearby alternatives for a more satisfying meal experience.
Rooms
However, there are several areas needing improvement. Numerous guests pointed out that the rooms are outdated and in dire need of renovation with deteriorated furniture, cracked walls and broken bathroom fixtures being common complaints. Issues with cleanliness have been frequently mentioned, including musty smells, mold, dust and even bugs. Basic amenities are often missing, such as fridges, sufficient outlets and even properly functioning TVs and air conditioning units.
Noise isolation appears inconsistent with some guests experiencing well soundproofed rooms, while others are disturbed by noise from adjacent rooms. Maintenance also needs attention with recurring mentions of damaged doors, peeling paint and malfunctioning facilities.
Despite these drawbacks, many guests still find the rooms comfortable enough for a simple stay focused on resting and sleeping. The overall experience remains variable, depending on the specific room assigned.
Beds
However, a significant number of guests reported issues with the bedding. Complaints about beds being hard, uncomfortable and noisy were common. Many noted that the mattresses were either sinking or so old that springs could be felt. The third bed, often a fold-out or sofa bed, was frequently mentioned as being particularly uncomfortable. Pillows were another point of contention for numerous guests, described as being thin, hard and in need of replacement.
Overall, while some visitors had a comfortable sleeping experience at Flag Hotel Valencia, many others felt that both the mattresses and pillows required significant improvement.
Cleanliness
However, numerous guests found significant issues related to cleanliness and maintenance. Many expressed concerns about dirty rooms, mold in bathrooms and dust under beds. The condition of the furniture and fixtures, including rusty bathroom accessories and peeling walls, often indicated a need for renovation. Some rooms were reported to have persistent unpleasant smells and there were specific mentions of mold on ceilings and curtains.
Common areas, including the pool, were also highlighted negatively with reports of dirty conditions and malfunctioning maintenance equipment. Specific details such as uncleaned cups, dirty walls and stains were frequently pointed out.
Despite the sporadic praises for cleanliness, the general sentiment suggested that the hotel's cleaning and maintenance services require considerable improvement to meet guest expectations.
Staff
While there have been some instances of language barriers with some staff speaking minimal English, their willingness to assist and accommodate guests is frequently noted. Additionally, many reviews point out specific individuals like Javi, Enrique and Silvia, who have left a positive impression through their excellent service.
There are, however, some mixed reviews regarding the dining staff with occasional comments about unfriendly attitudes, but this seems to be the exception rather than the rule. Overall, the staff at Flag Hotel Valencia is commended for their responsiveness, warmth and customer-focused approach, making it one of the key highlights for guests staying at the hotel.
Wi-Fi
Pool
However, the pool's small size is frequently mentioned and its capacity can feel insufficient given the number of rooms. Maintenance issues crop up in several reviews with mentions of water pumps not functioning properly, cloudy water and general wear and tear. Some guests noted the pool could be cleaner and better maintained. The pool's limited operating hours and the requirement for guests to reserve time slots due to Covid-19 measures also limit its accessibility, which frustrated some visitors. Seasonal closures further impact availability, making it important for potential guests to check if the pool will be open during their stay. Overall, while the pool offers a pleasant and clean environment, it faces challenges with maintenance, size and availability.
Parking
The convenience of parking is further emphasized by its location right at the hotel entrance, allowing effortless access to and from the facility. Guests appreciate that the parking area is well-maintained and provides ample space for all, often describing it as roomy and comfortable. The parking lot is not supervised but is considered safe and reliable by visitors.
Overall, the hotel’s excellent parking options contribute to its appeal, particularly how easy it is to park and the fact that it is included in the stay's price.
3 Star
However, several reviews suggest that the hotel falls short of the expected three-star standards. Common criticisms include outdated and poorly maintained facilities, dirty rooms and insufficient quality in the amenities provided. Instances of poor check-in experiences, extremely soft pillows and rooms requiring better maintenance were mentioned. Multiple reviews question the hotel's three-star classification with some even rating it closer to a two-star level. The hotel is viewed as sufficient for short stays, but longer durations are not recommended due to the noted decline in quality over the years. Overall, while some guests find it a reasonable choice, others strongly feel it does not meet the criteria for a three-star hotel.
Business
Accessible
While the hotel itself, including its rooms and common areas, is generally accessible, it falls short in public transport connectivity. Guests find it challenging to reach the city of Valencia and other destinations without a car, as the hotel is not easily accessible via public transport. Walking from the hotel to public transport or the beach poses safety concerns due to the condition of the roads.
Moreover, the hotel's elevator requires maintenance, potentially posing a challenge for those reliant on it. Despite these limitations, the hotel compensates with a convenient location near a highway, providing easy access for those traveling by car. This makes it convenient for reaching the beach and other nearby destinations, although this requires a vehicle to ensure safety.
The hotel’s staff are kind and provide good service and guests can enjoy a pleasant swimming pool with direct access, enhancing the overall stay. However, for those without a car, accessibility remains a significant concern, making the provision of shuttles to the city center a necessary consideration for improving guest experience.
