Hotel Plaza del Mercado

Valencia


Smart rooms in modish shades of grey have decent kitchens at this super-central location. Right opposite the market, it boasts a spa complex, a buzzy cafe-restaurant area and – one of the few in this area – a car park. Many of the rooms can sleep up to two kids, making it a fine choice for families.
