Hostels in Valencia
Budget Accommodation in Valencia
A stone’s throw from the sun-soaked beaches of the Costa Blanca, Valencia is perfect for a city break by the sea. With its thriving student population, Valencia is ideal for the budget traveller- cheap food can be picked up from the colourful Mercat Central, there are dozens of buzzing bars and nightclubs, and entry to the many art galleries isn’t too expensive.
To save even more, it’s easy to find a Valencia hostel close to the city center, ranging from bargain backpacker dorms to ultra-stylish boutique hostels, with all the facilities you’d find in a hotel. Here’s a guide to the best hostels in Valencia.
ABC B&B
This bed and breakfast has a more private and intimate atmosphere than your average hostel, and is ideally suited to couples. The rooms are spacious, with cool minimalist decor, and dozens of features, from a flat screen TV and free coffee maker to free towels, chocolates and bottles of water. Some rooms even have their own private garden and Apple Mac computers! The hostel is a couple of blocks from the Old Town, close to some of the best restaurants in the city, and you can start your day with breakfast served in bed.
The Purple Nest Hostel
The Purple Nest is one of the only hostels in Valencia with air-conditioning – a big advantage on steamy summer evenings! The laid-back atmosphere and friendly staff make the Purple Nest popular with first time visitors – the staff can help with anything from free city maps and walking tours to bike rental. The rooms are a mix of shared dorms and private rooms, and there’s a cool deck on the roof with great views over the city. You’re a short stumble from Valencia’s hip nightlife and bustling Tapas Bars, but the hostel also has its own bar with cheap drinks and a friendly atmosphere.
Pension Valencia Beach
This brand new hostel and guesthouse is ideally located for trips to the beach, with good transport links into the city center by tram and metro, and some cool local markets close by. The rooms are private and spacious, with Wi-Fi and a shared kitchen. The friendly owner is a young English guy who speaks Spanish, Italian and French, and the hostel has a range of organized nights out to Valencia’s best bars and music clubs, from Flamenco and Jazz to hip hop.
Indigo Youth Hostel
This cool and colourful hostel is ideal for backpackers, and is only a 10 minute walk from the bus and train station. The comfortable lounge with free internet and the sociable communal kitchen is the perfect place to meet other travelers, and there’s a lively events calendar, with pub crawls, a tapas and walking tour of the city. Other useful extras include Private Spanish lessons and tickets for the Arts and Science Museums.
