Top hotels in El Botànic
Hotel Turia Valencia
Front desk staff was not welcoming and at times short and kind of rude. Not sure this is the spanish way. The bar staff was very friendly and accommodating. Ramon was outstanding. He was very personable and helpful providing information and restaurant recommendations.

YOU & CO. J. Botánico Boutique Hotel
Staff were so friendly, room was spacious and very clean, the hotel feels very modern. The location was terrific, near many sites and close to the heart of the old city. Walkable from the train station and a very quiet neighborhood.
