booked this hotel half board ie breakfast/evening meal.on arrival at the hotel we was told we couldn't have evening meals because of a problem at hotel and we hadn't been warned of this. we were offered lunch instead which we couldn't attend because we were out at the moto gp all day.we asked for a packed lunch which they obliged but the next day they were unwilling to provide a packed lunch until after 11.00am which was too late for us.my main point is we paid for evening meals which we did not receive.and was seriously out of pocket having to eat out every night with no offer of compensation or prior warning.

if you are having meals at this hotel check beforehand because they will not contact you.

The Hotel Ingles is very centrally located in the heart of the Centro Historico Norte within a heart beat of the Plaza de la Reina. 15 minute walk to Xativa metro station where you can get to the beach or 10 minutes to the Turia gardens or the el Carme district. Clean rooms with all the basics and an hospitable staff. Breakfast buffet running for most of the morning includes meats, cheeses, fruit, juice, cereal, yoghurt, coffees, breads and pastries.

The Mercado Central (open 10-2) is very close to the hotel and a good option for picking up fresh fruit and snacks of all sorts for a day at the beach; it is closed Sundays. There is also a supermarket attached to the Cortes Ingles just south of the hotel. There is a cinema in close proxmity, south of the hotel, for relaxing during a hot midday. Wandering the streets of the old town and Carmen area is very enjoyable and you can pick up a great 3 course meal for a good price if you choose a menu del dia for lunch.

The people in the hotel were helpful and pleasant. They gave good advice when asked about places to eat and where to find transport.

Top Tip

Try the area behind the Catherdral for food. The ceramic museum was opposite the side entrance of the hotel (just a step away). The Tourist Bus stop was at the end of the street and was a good way of making decisions about where to go. The No.32 bus to the beach also stopped very close to the hotel.

Comment

Centrally located for restaurants, shops etc. 10 minutes from metro stations, 1 minute from bus stop to the beach.

Top Tip

The metro is an efficient way to travel from and to the airport, and from the town to the beach area and Grand Prix circuit.
