Capsule Inn Valencia Hostel

Necesitábamos un lugar donde ducharnos y descansar después de ayudar a los vecinos de Valencia tras la catástrofe de DANA. Reservamos rápidamente en función de la cercanía al tren para no perder tiempo, pero fue una de las peores decisiones en cuanto a alojamiento. Si valoras una ducha caliente y una cama cómoda, te recomiendo invertir un poco más y optar por un hotel. Este sitio fue terrible: dormimos en cápsulas minúsculas, sin ventilación adecuada y con la sensación de inseguridad de que cualquiera podría entrar. A las 2 de la mañana tuve que abrir la puerta para poder respirar, ya que me estaba asfixiando. Para colmo, hay que pagar 2€ adicionales para una triste toalla en una ducha de un baño compartido, duchas estilo gimnasio. Taquillas para guardar las cosas fuera de tu alcance, con acceso a través de una tarjeta! Si te ibas a la cama y te olvidabas algo , de vuelta a realizar el pasito para buscar lo que necesitabas… No lo recomiendo en absoluto. La reserva no era reembolsable, así que no pude cancelarla, pero me arrepiento de no haber buscado otra opción. Aunque la idea era ahorrar para poder ayudar a los quien más lo necesitaba, les aseguro que por 50€ se puede encontrar una habitación de hotel mucho más decente, sin el calor que había? Colchones (si se le puede llamar así) rígidos, dos almohadas que parecía que ni existía, un trozo de mini endredon para 2, la falta de aire y la claustrofobia que pasamos aquí. Terrible! Para alguien que viene del sector turístico, como yo, me parece un auténtico abuso ofrecer “camas” de esta manera. No lo recomiendo, y ojalá me devolvieran el dinero. Espero que esta experiencia sirva para que nadie más pase por lo mismo. Saludos.

Location is good. 5 minutes away from the high-speed train station and around 10-15 minutes to the city centre on foot. Clean IKEA style decoration. Bicycles available for rent. It was impossible to sleep during my stay. The capsules have zero noise or light insulation. People come and go at all hours so there’s constant noise and switching on and off of lights. The capsules are stuck one on top of the other so any movement is felt on all of them. There are lights inside the capsule that you can’t switch off and ventilation is minimal. You are not allowed to keep your belongings in the capsule. Everything needs to fit in a locker in a different room. WiFi service was spotty at best (not possible to use streaming services) and if you need to have your luggage held before or after check in/out you are charged for it. Cheap price but not worth the inconveniences and barely there amenities.

Cleanliness: The cleanliness of the room was spotless. We couldn’t fault it. The bathroom was shared so there was always someone cleaning the rooms and the bathroom. The bathroom had a slight smell coming from the drainage but other than that, I couldn’t fault the cleanliness Location: It was a little difficult to find at first since they don’t have any signs on the outside, but when your walking on that street, you have to look through the door glass to see if you’ve got the right hotel. Service: The staff at the desk were lovely. Sadly they have a set time when they are at the desk. After midnight there is no one on site, other than a phone number to call incase you need anything, which can be a problem for those who don’t have a Spanish number like us. Amenities: they had only one towel for me and my partner to use for one night. Downside: we wanted to stay one night to see how the place is, before we booked additional nights and we’re glad we didn’t booked additional nights. The capsule wasn’t sound proof, which we was aware, but the fact it had a quiet policy in place is what attracted us to experience the capsule. Sadly around 11pm not just me, but the neighbouring capsule experience a couple making loud intimate sounds in there capsule. We decided to give them there privacy but after half n hour it was beginning to bother me a lot as I needed to sleep. So I went to the front counter and there was no one at 2330 at the desk, just a phone number to ring. Which I couldn’t ring as I didn’t have a Spanish phone number. So me and the other neighbour capsule had to put up a sleepless night till the early morning. I did complain to the staff upon check out and she was really lovely and understood how I felt. It was a shame there was no one at night who I could have spoken to, otherwise I only had good things to say about this place
