Below is my review of the 5-star Caro Hotel that I wrote for Trip Advisor. We would definitely stay here again as there are 26 rooms, all unique, and located within Seu-Xerea neighborhood. 💯 The hotel was once a 14th-century Gothic palace. They build around the history, preserving it from an archeological stand point, and blending it together with a modern design. The mansion was once owned by the Marquis de Caro and is the city’s only designated historical monument hotel. Inside you will find a section of the 12th-century Arab wall of Valencia, mosaics from the 1st century BC, and parts of the Roman Circus (a Roman Circus was an open-air venue used for chariot races and other games).
Trip Advisor Review:
This hotel! One of the top 5 hotels from my travels over the years.
1st— The hotel is riddled with history. And it’s easy to “learn more” by scanning the QR code. There were old perfume vials and remains from a gothic fireplace in our room. You don’t have to leave the hotel to get a history lesson about the incredible city of Valencia.


2nd—Location, location, location. You’re right by Plaza de la Virgen and Plaza de la Reina with La Catedral. It’s quiet yet a few steps and you’re in the heart of the Ciutat Vella.
3rd —The amenities are abundant! We didn’t want for anything. Complimentary snacks and beverages, toiletries for the bathroom, robes/slippers. Sweets to welcome us and then on the bed in the evening. We had our choice of pillows and the bed was quite comfortable.
4th—The people! The staff were exceptional. Shout out to Alejandro who helped us get check in and made reservations for us at the best restaurant for paella—Raco del Turia, a place where the locals eat.
We will definitely be back and I highly recommend for anyone coming to Valencia. Thanks for an amazing stay!!
