In thirty-four years of travel, this has to be the best city hotel I've stayed in. The style and decor of the building is stunning - everywhere you look it is stylish and immaculate. Every single employee I interacted with had clearly been trained to a very high standard. The service was personal, friendly and proactive. Out of an excellent team, I must mention Ivan, who did a great job sorting out diner reservations. And regrettably I didn't get the name of the lady who served me breakfast every day, but she was brilliant. The location of the hotel is perfect - pretty much everything you want to visit in Valencia is within walking distance. Are there room for improvements? Sure. But they are really tiny things I noticed. The atmosphere in the bar off the entrance lobby was a little lacking, and on departure I just missed a "how was your stay" from the team. But these are small points, and as someone who trains 5 star hotel staff in the UK, Palacio Vallier is an outstanding property to chose in Valencia.
