Catalonia Excelsior

Beautiful hotel. Very clean and centrally located.

We have today returned from Valencia having spent 4 nights at the Excelsior Hotel. What a disappointment! The hotel had obviously not been updated for years but our room was reasonably clean.

Spent the night there on a Spanish class trip. Very nice lobby. The rooms were modern and confortable. We all enjoyed a very nice paella dinner. This hotel is located in a nice part of town.
