Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Holiday Inn Express Ciudad De Las Ciencias offers modern and clean accommodations, with some guests finding the four-person rooms not particularly spacious. The hotel's location provides convenient access to the City of Sciences and the aquarium, reachable by foot, while public transport options make it easy to connect to the airport and other attractions, including Malvarosa beach. A shopping center with options like McDonald's and Burger King is nearby. Breakfast is generally good, though some guests have noted it can be basic with limited variety during longer stays.
