I first stayed at Sidi Saler 2 summers ago and thought that given it's status as a 5* Luxury hotel that it should have offered a lot more than it did. This year, constrained by dates, and made more inflexible by the F1 coming back to Valencia, I thought I'd give the place another chance, particularly given the deal I found on Expedia. Unfortunately for me, there were no improvements to the rooms, which are still stale and dated, and the in-room facilities make it hard for an English speaker to make the most of what's available without spending a fortune, as the TV only has BBC World - which is virtually of no use to Britons - and CNN (6 Spanish TV channels (naturally), about the same in German, 3 in French). Admittedly, the breakfasts are still excellent both in variation and in quality, and the free, regular shuttle bus into Valencia gives plenty of options to explore the city. Overall though, I don't think the hotel can realistically justify a 5* Luxury tag, and is wildly overpriced in the main. A real shame given it's location and surroundings. Sadly, twice bitten is now more than enough, and I can't see a reason to go back to Sidi Saler again, even though I will still be a regular visitor to Valencia.
