8 handpicked hostels in Valencia, sorted by traveler rating.
Valencia is the city where paella was invented, the 9km Turia riverbed turned into a linear park, and Ruzafa replaced Gràcia as Spain's coolest district in the last decade. Backpacker cluster splits between Ciutat Vella (old town, walkable to Mercado Central and Lonja), Ruzafa/Eixample (craft bars, vintage, Sunday flea market) and Poblats Maritims (Malvarrosa beach, El Cabanyal tile houses, morning surf). Cheaper than Barcelona by 20 to 30 percent, fewer tourists, better paella, same Mediterranean weather. Valenbisi bike share (14 EUR a week) is the move.
