Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Overall happy. The hotel itself per the name is a apartment style hotel with a kitchen and separate living room area. The room itself was very spacious for two. Loads of room and storage. Separate TV area for the living room was nice. Bathroom was also spacious with a full tub and shower/sink area. The room was furnished basically but felt clean and well styled. Amenities are various, there is a outdoor pool area. It is small and was taken up with lots of kids but we went there briefly on our first day owing to limited time. There is a laundry area and small gym also which is useful although we did not use. Unfortunately breakfast was not being offered due to covid but there is a vending machine for basics. We mainly stayed here due to the free parking, this is as others mentioned not secure but you are able to park outside the hotel in a shopping complex the hotel is based in. It felt reasonably secure but naturally you do leave the car at your own risk. In terms of the general location you are based in what I would describe as a industrial zone but was surprisingly busy. I would suggest you need a car because the nearest metro is over a 20 minute walk. Pro tip we noted from other reviews you can drive to Valencia Sud which has a free car park and hop on the metro for 10 mins to get into town to save parking and driving around the centre. There is actually a fair amount around the hotel, there is a lidl supermarket a few mins walk, kfc and a few fast food chains close by. Staff were also very friendly and helpful and despite limited English made a effort to always offer help where they could. Only knock I would have is they have a rather odd maid service, the room is only serviced every three days. They do change the bins if you leave them out and you can request new towels but just seemed a little cheap. What I would say is for the price we paid (£50) we were pleased and it does offer excellent value but would recommend you have a car or you will be walking a lot.

I booked this hotel based off of pure reviews and I'm so glad that I did. First of all, let me just say, when we drove up I judged a book by its cover. It is not the nicest building from the outside but the room was a complete surprise. I feel like I really got a great deal from Expedia.com when I booked this location. It was a huge apartment (we were given a 2 bedroom/2 bath with kitchen). It has AC/heater, dishwasher and much more. I did not expect to get this and all within walking distance of a huge commercial shopping plaza. There are 2 grocery stores within 300 meters and another about a km away (Lidl and Aldi's). This proved to be useful to put into use the kitchen already provided. The kitchen if fully equipped with dishes, pots, pans and even dishwasher tabs (found above the dishwasher). I can't say enough great stuff about this apartment hotel. I only rated it at very good because it was a little difficult to locate. The GPS did not recognize the address. The best address to use it the Best Western Albufera which just happens to be associated to this hotel. The only negative I have was that the refrigerator was a little dirty. Other than that, it was a great value overall with all the amenities in the room and nearby.

We rented a "quad" apartment (Number 2014) which turned out to be on the first floor, with one double bedroom and one twin bedroom. The apartment had a very large terrace with a table and three chairs. There are two bathrooms, one with a bath and one with a shower. The living room and the double bedroom have French windows which open onto the terrace whilst the twin room has an opening window. There is a compact, practical kitchen. The apartment is very large and comfortable with a good air conditioning/heating system, practical tiled floor and neutral decor.
The apartment is comfortable but the kitchen is sparsely equipped and you can't expect to turn up and be able to live in it. Equipment ran to an oven with hob, microwave, freezer, fridge & dishwasher with provided tablets. There are no washing facilities, line or drier but there is a nearby laundry room which we didn't explore. Cutlery runs to a small selection of mugs and glasses & a few pans. To give you an idea of how you might need to prepare we ended up buying a kettle, a sharp knife, dishclothes & liquid and coffee making equipment.
There is a television set in the front room with an HDMI connection and terrestrial tuner. There are plenty of European standard plugs throughout the apartment and a safe is provided. Hot water was plentiful.
The apartments are set in an unattractive low rent retail park and have a view of the car park. There is a Carrefour supermarket just over the road where you can buy the necessities mentioned above and a range of other local shops. If you really don't go for Spanish cuisine, McDonalds and KFC are also within walking distance...
Valencia is an easy drive about 15 minutes up the road and has lots to offer. For local beaches however we'd recommend driving to El Saler by heading out East from the hotel down the CV-401 which takes you across the water park. You'll have spectacular views of herons, storks and maybe even the local flamingos and then reach a sandy beach.
The Aparthotel has free parking outside which fills up rapidly and a larger free parking area in the basement. You can take the lift straight up from the basement to the apartments but have to walk back down the stairs.
All in all, a very practical and enjoyable choice for a base near Valencia which lets you take advantage of everything the local area has to offer from a comfortable location.

This should not be 4 star. It should be 5 star. The apartment hotel is fantastic. It exceeded our expectations. We have just done a road trip around Spain. We spent a few nights in a 4 star hotel in Salou and was disappointed. We walked into this and was blown away at what we got for our money. Firstly there was loads of free parking in their own underground car park. The staff on reception were great. We walked in and the rooms were massive. Large lounge, kitchen area. Family bathroom. Separate twin bedroom for the kids. Large double bedroom with ensuite bathroom. Loads of cupboards and storage. Then a giant balcony you could park 6 + cars on. Or only regret was that we were only here for 2 nights. It is a little on the outskirts and you either need to drive into valencia or get the bus. There are plenty of restaurants within 5 to 10 minutes walk. Highly recommend starting here.

My girlfriend and I stayed here for 4 nights during Nov for a very reasonable £200.
Travelocity rate it as a "superior 4 Star hotel distinguished with a high level of service and hospitality, as well as a wide variety of amenities and upscale facilities".
Apartotel Beta Albufera is not an hotel. It is an apartment block outside Valencia (30 min bus ride) in the middle of a 'Lakeside' commercial district.
The rooms are simple self-contained apartments. Decent enough bathroom shower. The tiny double bed was rock hard. The kitchen unit came complete with a single glass but no cutlery.
The "excellent restaurant facilities" were nothing of the sort. There was some sort of ridiculous self-service breakfast where you laid your own table and could choose from salami or a cold miniature croissant.
Our 'landscaped grounds' consisted of a McDonald's and a furniture shop. I felt that the staff tried to be helpful (they let me use their office to check the internet) but that they might have been a little slow - the taxi we asked them to book us for the airport arrived 35 mins late!
Taxi's from the city centre to the "hotel" cost about 14 euros. I urge you to book early and find a proper hotel near the city centre.
Hire a bike and cycle around Valencia for a day. No one eats before 12pm which can be difficult to get used to in a short visit. (Restaurants don't really open before 9pm).
Valencia has its charms, but they are few and far between. I don't think Nov is a good time to visit.
I'd recommend Barcelona over Valencia.

Me and 3 friends have just come back from staying at this hotel and I thought I would write a review as I don`t think the other reviews are totally fair. I agree that it is a little way out of Valencia so the most annoying thing is having to pay for a lot of taxis however if there is a group of people to share the price then it isn`t so much of a problem. Considering we booked this on the internet taking a bit of a risk we paid just £88 each for 4 nights but were very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the rooms. They are spacious and u get not only the double bedroom but a reasonable bathroom and living/dining area plus an equpped kitchen in our case. It was only built last year so it is still nice and clean also! Overall to cut a long story short for 88 quid for 4 nights it was well worth the money but I would agree that if you were going for a luxury stay asa couple it`s probably not the best option because of the distance from Valencia and lack of facilities! However I must add we had a taxi that worked for the hotel and was only charged about 10 euros each time to go into town which isn`t a lot really.

The room is very long and big with a huge Terrace. The guys that Check us in and Check us out was very friendly and polite. They speak very good English. Very convenient if you are with the car as its only around 10 minutes drive to the city and for the Parking and it's free. Lots of fast food restaurant around and lots of supermarkets to choose from. Most important is the air condition that you can set the temperature individually. Not like other Spanish Hotels where they still blows hot warm air into the room although its spring and forced you to open the window and you hear the noise from outside. The rooms are very bright and have everything that you will need.

All the rooms were in the from of apartments with huge, spacious rooms. The entire hotel was well maintained and clean and beautiful. The location is too far from the city center or the beach but has supermarkets and restaurants nearby, which makes it quite convenient. The kitchen pantry is well equipped with cutlery and all. The staff is friendly and helpful, special mention for Vanesa, who was extremely cooperative and Alejandro.

It's hard to criticise a place when they are either not responsible for the problem and they try hard to put it right. Fundamentally this hotel is located in a suburb of Valencia in a retail park. The big issue on night one was a city party about 2 miles away that could have been heard on the moon. Constant monotonous drumming until 5am. We were moved to another room but warned by the manager that the problem would be noise from the air conditioning next door. She was right. They refunded our money without question even though it was a prepaid non refundable rate. Staff were excellent and very understanding but we just couldn't deal with the noise

Nice self contained flat with separate Lounge/kitchen and bedroom. Ideal for longer stay although I only had two nights. Walking distance to small mall and shops, restaurants. OK basement parking. Short drive to Valencia city. Uses the facilities of the adjacent Best Western Albufera Hotel.

Si, es bufet pero no en la cantidad y calidad de un cuatro estrellas, ni tan siquiera de tres. Escaso y de poca calidad. Recomiendo elegir, como mucho, el desayuno
