Apartamentos Plaza Picasso

We had a pretty good stay with ours! The apartments were spacious and clean, the reception always friendly and accommodating, and the breakfast always solid. Price-performance absolutely top!

My two friends and I stayed in a two bedroom apartment on the 10th floor and had a fantastic experience overall. The standout feature for us was the reception team. They were absolutely amazing throughout our stay and consistently went above and beyond to help. On one particularly busy day, we were unable to book tickets for the Oceanogràfic online ourselves, but the reception staff stepped in and helped us secure a booking. Their local knowledge and willingness to assist made a huge difference to our trip. The apartments are linked to a bike hire service, which was another great convenience. We hired e-bikes during our stay, and the reception team let us know as soon as they arrived and even stored them safely in the lobby area for us. When it came time to leave, they also offered to store our luggage after checkout without us even having to ask, allowing us to enjoy our final day in Valencia without dragging our bags around. I was surprised to read some reviews mentioning an under stocked kitchen. We prepared our own breakfasts and packed lunches every day and found the kitchen had everything we needed. If there had been anything missing, I have every confidence that the reception team would have helped if asked. The location worked really well for us. It’s about a 10 minute walk from the nearest metro station, around 5 minutes from a bus stop, and roughly a 30 minute walk to the Old Town. It’s also ideally positioned next to the beautiful Turia Gardens, which stretch towards the Old Town in one direction and the City of Arts and Sciences in the other. This made exploring Valencia by bike both easy and enjoyable and was one of our favourite parts of the trip. Our apartment on the 10th floor was clean, comfortable and had great views. My only minor criticism would be that the beds in the twin room were positioned very close together, to the point where they felt more like a double bed than two separate singles. It wasn’t a major issue for us, but it may be worth noting for friends travelling together who prefer a bit more space. Overall, Apartmentos Plaza Picasso offered excellent value, outstanding customer service and a great location for exploring Valencia. We would definitely stay here again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others.

The folks at the front desk were generally quite nice and as helpful as they can be. But they can't make up for the property's limitations. The kitchen is not well supplied; it is spartan (e.g., no cutting board, one dish towel to dry). Careful not to bump one's head on the protruding vent at eye level or the low-hanging light in the kitchen. No instructions how to use the induction stovetop. Hard to reach the back burner with the vent protruding at eye level. One of the bedrooms is so small (appx 60 sf) that the bed is against the wall with no space at the foot to get out from the wall side. The shower is constructed in such a way as a lot of water escapes to the floor. The bath towels are low quality; only one hand towel for five guests; hard to dry each day as rooms are not made-up unless greater than three night stay.
