Where Bellver Bedrooms is and how to get there
Bellver Bedrooms is on Carrer de Bellver, right in the centre of Xàtiva, in the province of Valencia. Several guests point this out in particular: you can walk to what matters in town.
From Valencia airport, according to the listing, it is about 71 km, so the most practical option is to drive or combine train and taxi. The listing says nothing about parking, so ask before you go if you are arriving by car.
What the rooms are like
It is a private house with only a few rooms, with more of a homely feel than a hotel. Reviews describe it as very welcoming, clean, new and tastefully decorated.
According to the listing, the rooms have a private bathroom, parquet floors and air conditioning, and many face the garden, which helps you sleep soundly. Inside you will find practical details.
- For tea or coffee. There is a kettle and a coffee maker in the room.
- Bathroom. Bidet, hairdryer and free toiletries.
- Comforts. Television and free Wi-Fi throughout the property.
- Outside. A terrace and an outdoor seating area.
One guest says her room was called Calma and lived up to its name, with a smell of green tea and a very comfortable bed. It is a small detail, but it says a lot about the care they take.
What guests say about Bellver Bedrooms
The Google rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 120 reviews, which is unusual. What comes up most often is how the hosts treat their guests.
Several guests stress that they were waited for and looked after kindly, even though they arrived very late at night. Others talk of a clean, well-kept house, a comfortable bed and a perfect place to rest. One compares it to being in Bali without leaving Xàtiva, and another says that if they return to the town, they will stay again.
I have not seen negative reviews in the data I work with. Even so, with a small sample of comments, I would read it as a good sign rather than a guarantee.
What to know before you book
The drawbacks are few, but they exist, and nearly all come from the fact that it is a house rather than a hotel with a reception desk.
| The best | What to know |
|---|---|
| Centre of Xàtiva, everything within walking distance | No parking is listed in the data, so ask before you go |
| Very personal and flexible with late arrivals | As it is a private house, let them know your arrival time in good time |
| New, clean and well-decorated rooms | The property is small, so the good dates fill up |
| Staff speak Catalan, English and Spanish | Valencia airport is a long way for a short transfer |
My advice is to write before booking if you are going to arrive at night or by car. The hosts seem to sort things out with great goodwill, but it is better to have it agreed.
Who this accommodation in Xàtiva is for
I would choose Bellver Bedrooms for a short getaway of one or two nights as a couple or on your own, or for someone stopping off on a route through the area. It works well if you value a comfortable bed, a private bathroom and a personal welcome more than the services of a large hotel.
I would not recommend it to anyone looking for a pool, a restaurant or a reception that is always open. Nor do I see it for large groups, because it is a house with rooms, not a complex.
What to do in Xàtiva and around
The property has a tourist information point on the premises, which makes it easier to plan visits around the area without searching for information yourself. It is a good starting point for a stroll around the town.
If you want to compare with other options in the Valencian Community, Mapiola also features Hostal Ducal II in Gandía, Pink Lemon House in Elche or Hostal La Barraca Suites in Valencia.
