Neptuno Hotel
- Baby
- Toddler
- Kid
- Teen
A friendly, design-minded hotel right on the Malvarrosa beach promenade, with the sand across the path and the city's best paella terraces on either side. It is small and has no pool, but for families who want a beach base with the old town a tram ride away, it is hard to beat on value.
Our verdict
The easy-going value pick for a beach-first family trip, with the sand at the door and the city a short tram ride when you want it.
The rooms
A small beachfront boutique right on the Malvarrosa promenade, with contemporary rooms that mostly sleep two adults and a child. Sea-view rooms look straight over the sand, a few larger rooms suit a family of four, and cots are available on request.

Parents also ask
Is it right on the beach?
Yes, only the promenade path separates the hotel from the Malvarrosa sand, with sea-view rooms overlooking it.
Is there a pool?
No, it is a small beachfront hotel without a pool, so it is best in beach season when the sea does the job.
How do we get to the old town?
The seafront tram and taxis reach the old town and City of Arts in around 15 to 20 minutes.
