Resa Patacona Hotel

As an Erasmus student, resa Patacona are the absolute worst. The location is very bad, in the poor and almost inhabited areas of Valencia, the boonies. There was mold in my room that costed 900 euros a month, and my breathing problems made it impossible for me to remain there. So resa patacona had the kindness to threaten me if I dare call them scammers, but they are scammers. They tried to charge me 900 euros twice after I left and never returned the deposit and almost caused me to have recurrent breathing problems again. The service is terrible, other students spend all night running in the hallways and being noisy, and the cleaning services is terrible. Do not think of going to resa patacona unless you want to be scammed.

Edit: I have sent a thousand emails and got a lawyer involved. I wanted the amount of the full deposit back (1000 euros) and you have never answered me. Do not try to appear helpful when I got scammed by resa Patacona.

- our first room had a mouldy pillow and had two twin beds pushed together. It was obviously meant to be a single room as the light switch was by my partner's head so he accidentally kept switching it on in the middle of the night, it also meant to curtain was really close so the light came through, the beds would also slide apart with me falling down the middle of them.
- when we asked to switch rooms we were first told that we had that room because our original one was water damaged then we were told we would be more comfortable in that one because two twins is larger than a double (?). They eventually switched us with no apology for the bed or the mouldy pillow. Booking.com first said they would ask for a partial refund but never followed through as we had been switched rooms (we'd still had three nights of interrupted sleep)
- the staff are very grumpy and rude.
- coffee was not included in breakfast (the one you pay for is disgusting so not worth the money) and there are no coffee making facilities in the room. As a coffee addict this was very annoying.
- something that isn't made clear is that the hotel is also a student halls so it's full of large groups of teenagers everywhere. It's also a public gym so lots of gym goers everywhere.
- the location is okay but the beach in Valencia isn't that special, it's very crowded with not a lot going on. I'd advise anyone booking to stay in the center and travel to the beach if you want to go. Really not a good experience at this hotel.
