Venues & Accommodation

Although the conference will have multiple venues, all social events will happen at the heart of the city. Therefore, we strongly recommend to book for a place in Valencia city centre, where you will be able to find a great variety of hotels of all categories and prices.

There are so many interesting hotels and apartments in the city centre that pointing to a couple or three of them would mean discarding a lot of other good ones. You can use this predefined search for choosing the one you prefer according to price and rating:
Booking.com search for Valencia Old Town

Classical choices have been “Catalonia Excelsior”, “Hostal Venecia”, “SH Inglés Boutique Hotel” or “Ayre Hotel Astoria Palace”, but other new ones (e.g. ValenciaFlats and other apartment chains) are also very attractive as well as other options with better prices.

We would strongly advice against hotels near the “Valencia Conference Centre” or the “Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències”, as they are quite far from all the venues.

From the city centre, the School of Engineering in Burjassot can be easily reached by bus number 63, by metro & tram or only by tram.
