호텔 시벨레스 플라야(Hotel Cibeles Playa)

Todo bien, hotel cerca de bares y supermercado

Close to the beach. Poor breakfast. Poor and expensive parking.

Really good basic hotel. Service was excellent, the rooms were clean, the included breakfast was better than usual.

This place is dirty. Had bugs. Hotel staff did not help.

We stayed for 4 nights and found the room to be clean and comfortable. The only thing that let the room down was the Air Conditioning as it never worked, so had to have the terrace door open at night as it got hot/stuffy, but as we were staying on the 2nd floor it was noisy outside. We asked at reception and were told it had been switched on but takes a day or two to start working. (I think we all know this was code for we're not turning it on). Also the TV was on the smaller side. We had breakfast and dinner included in our stay, but it was very very limited, so if we ever stayed again I would swerve this option. The Wi-Fi was also slow, so not great for a reliable & fast connection. The service from the staff within the hotel was good and the hotel itself was clean.

Clean, not busy and minutes from the beach

We visited in July 2022. You have to be aware this area is predominantly holiday spot/area for the Spanish, so the use of the English language is limited. Many local restaurants do not have Emglish translations for their menus. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome. My wife and I speak basic Spanish and our daughter is fluent. That said the lady on reception when we checked in did speak a little English. The rooms were very comfortable, not overly luxurious, room amenities were a TV, fridge and safe. Rooms had wifi service. The pool was never that busy, in fact it was pretty deserted until the late afternoon. Due to the proximity to the hotel and other nearby hotels, if you want to sizzle in the sun you will have to move your sunbed at some point. It was in the 40 degrees during our stay, as Spain was in the middle of a heatwave There was a manned bar a few yards from the pool and several tables and seat should you wish to sit and have a coffee. In fairness this is not really the hotel for anyone who just wants a sit by the pool all day holiday. We did not try the restaurant for lunch or dinner. Breakfast was really good, a mix of hot and cold fair (again very Spanish but totally delicious). The is a small super market a few minutes walk and a ton of great restaurants within easy walking distance. The town does get really busy at night especially the beach area, loads of shops open in the evening and we found some of the more popular restaurants we booked the day or two before visiting to be assured a table. The big question is would we go there again. The answer is we are already booked in for 2023 as for us this hotel was perfect. Yes there are larger and more luxurious hotels in Gandia but they are also a lot more expensive, without really adding that much, unless you really need a spar.

Hotel Cibeles provided the perfect stay for our week in Gandia, where there is much to do & we kept busy in town, enjoyed the local beaches & visited Valencia by train. The hotel has a smart exterior & looks great lit up in the evenings. The pretty reception vestibule leads to a lovely poolside terrace & bar, or a sweeping stairway to the dining room. The rooms are a fair size & have great balconies. We ate good breakfasts there, & had our dinners out as there are plenty of fun restaurants a stroll away. Gandia beach is also walking distance & the pedestrian area comes to life in the evenings with shops & stalls. We had a car, & the hotel has a small underground carpark. The staff were a pleasure, & we would definitely stay there again!

Great location for Grau bars and beach, clean and cheap. Parked for free on the road next to hotel. Will stay again when back in Gandia
