“A Gandian Gem”

This was my second time at the hotel, somewhat longer than the last time. The staff were very helpful and friendly, the breakfast was very good and the dinner, served from 19:30, was a very tasty and affordable three course 'menu del dia' at EUR12.00. The rooms are clean, they have safe-deposit boxes and a small fridge which I found to be very useful to store small food items bought at the nearby Mercadona supermarket. The TV offers a full range of Spanish and foreign TV channels, in addition to Spanish radio stations. The double bed was very comfortable. It is advisable to ask for a room on either the fifth or sixth floor facing the back. This minimises street noise. The hotel is in a respectable area of Gandia in which it is safe to walk around at any time of the day. If you have a car, the car park is secured and has CCTV in operation. The only downside is that the walls are thin. This aspect, together with the fact that the hallways are not carpeted, means that there can be a lot of noise. If you are a light sleeper than ear plugs are recommended. The hot water for the shower was sometimes intermittent when showering during the morning rush hour period. I found it was a constant flow when showering a little bit later at around 10:30 hrs. It would be nice for each room door to have a spyhole so you can see who is knocking at your door. I would stay at the Hotel Borgia again. It is conveniently located in the centre of Gandia and only a 25 minute walk from the RENFE train station. This is ideal for trips into Valencia (one hour) and when travelling to Valencia airport (add on 25 minutes). I should also add that the weather was inclement during my stay with temperatures averaging 13C and rain every day. The heating system in the hotel room was very much appreciated. In the summer months, this switches over to being an air-conditioning system. Thank you Hotel Borgia!

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room had a sun terrace with sun beds and table and chairs, which was an added bonus. Would definitely stay here again.

“personal muy amable. bien situado”

Very nice staff. spacious room and beautiful location in the city. Breakfast could be easily improved : juices and coffee are really not good. it's a pity because the buffet is quite nice and affordable.

We stayed a few nights in Borgia when in Gandia. Prior to arriving, the hotel was responsive to queries, though only in Spanish! Location was excellent, around 15 mins walk to the train/ coach station & near the main promenade, with easy access to dining options. The hotel facade & lobby itself looked nice but the room was a bit worn, especially the table tops which were peeling & off putting. It was great to have a balcony facing a few bars & cafes but it was a tad noisy at night so thankfully we had some ear plugs. There was ample storage space but the desk surfaces & drawers were quite dirty, as if they hadn't been cleaned. There was a fridge in the hotel & a safe in the wardrobe but no key. A bottle of water was given compliments of the hotel on the first day. Toiletries were in small bottles which was not environmentally friendly & they didn't replenish these on the second day so we had to request some at reception. The person at reception didn't speak English so we had to rely on Google translate 😁 Breakfast was served from 7am on weekdays & 8am on weekends. There was a selection of hot & cold food, fruit, yoghurt, pastries & bread. The hot food was lukewarm to cold & wasn't anything exciting but the chorizo, fried eggs & chilli peppers were welcome. The fruit looked like they were abandoned & were mostly not neatly sliced like some pictures suggest. They were often bruised & the sliced pineapple looked like it was almost off when it was served, with black & brown spots at the edges. Pastries like the croissants were soggy rather than crisp; bread rolls weren't bad, & the peach jam was lovely. The toaster took forever to brown anything & coffee didn't taste great. Juices tasted more like cordials. In short, breakfast wasn't great but we did manage to fill ourselves up before our daily excursions. All in all, the stay at Borgia was good. It provided a good base for us as we explored the area. There are other accommodation options at the beach area but the base in the centre allowed us easy access to transport to Denia & when we travelled from & returned to Valencia.
