My husband and I stayed there in mid December 2012. We drove from Barcelona and parking in Valencia was next to impossible. There are free parking by the train station but you have to walk back to the city center which takes 10-15 minutes. It was difficult to find Pension Universal as the sign was way up on the building... More

The pension is close to the Renfe station and the main plaza. Clean room and toilet. One of the owners can communicate in English. He told me how to catch the bus to travel around Valencia in details. The pension situates in a decent district of the city. I got a very spacious room with balcony facing the street.The price...

Couldn't really hope for better. Paid £30 for a twin room with a sink in the room and a shared bathroom. Super easy to find and right near lots of tourist areas. A bit of a walk to the nightlife/bars area but not too bad. Most impressive was that the hotel rooms came with a balcony and a fan which... More

The location is very comfortable and easy to reach. It's near plaza Adjutament and Colon where you can take the metro for the airport. The room was clean, the sheets and the towels were changed everyday, but the floor was a little dirty. Wi-fi it's free and has good reception. The only thing is that's a little noisy for the... More

For a good price you get a separate room with adequate size and you can use one of the two nice renovated floor bathrooms in the centre of the city (close to metro station Colon i.e.- good connection to the airport) and close to the old city centre with all sights in Valencia within walking distance. Bear in mind that... More

The location was the main selling point with Pension Universal, very central and a lot to see in the area. The rooms had character and were clean enough although somewhat basic. AC would have been a bonus as we were staying in the middle of summer but that was a small issue. Otherwise a really enjoyable stay.

Quite a good hostel at the price. Very centrally located. Some traffic noise at night. Got a small darkish double room with shower in the room. Toilet shared with other rooms. Facilities very clean. Free wifi.

The rooms are interestingly old-fashioned, with big windows/balconies. Beds are reasonably comfortable, and the shared bathrooms are surprisingly clean. The guy staffing the front desk is nice, willing to stay up very late, and at least attempts to keep rowdy guests quiet after midnight. It's in a fairly central location. The worst thing was that the morning we were leaving,... More
