Map & live prices by our partner
The 25 hostels here range from €9 dorm beds at Red Nest Hostel to €70 rooms at The Central House Valencia Mercado Central, so there is a bed for every budget. For a social, central stay, Home Youth Hostel and Cantagua Hostel both rate above 8.6 and sit within walking distance of the Barrio del Carmen. If you prefer a quieter, more private setup, pod-style hostels like The Pod Suite Hostel Village and The Pod Suite Hostel Blasco offer curtained beds and higher comfort, while Star Plaza Espana provides soundproofed rooms near Mercado de Colón.
For a stay in the old town, Purple Nest Hostel (rating 8.1, from €46) and Home Youth Hostel (rating 8.7, from €22) both offer social vibes and easy access to the Barrio del Carmen. Cantagua Hostel, with an 8.6 rating, is near the train station and the old quarter, making it a top choice for exploring the city on foot. If you're after even more privacy, The Central House Valencia Mercado Central sits steps from the Central Market and includes both dorms and private rooms.
For a social scene and solo-friendly atmosphere, Red Nest Hostel (rating 7.4) has a rooftop bar and a packed social calendar, while Home Youth Hostel (rating 8.7) offers free walking tours and 24-hour staff. Both are in the old town and draw a mix of backpackers. If you prefer a quieter dorm, Aiora Hostel (rating 6.9) is adults-only and more relaxed.
Prices start at €9 for a dorm bed at Red Nest, with most hostels falling between €14 and €26. Mid-range options like Urban Youth Hostel (€14) and Som Hostel (€11) offer good value, while pod-style or private rooms at The Pod Suite Hostel Blasco (from €37) or The Central House Valencia Mercado Central (from €70) cost more.
For first-timers, the old town (Barrio del Carmen) is ideal – it's packed with hostels, nightlife, and landmarks like the Central Market and the Turia Garden. Hostels like Purple Nest and Home Youth Hostel are right in the middle of it. If you want to be closer to the beach or the City of Arts and Sciences, choose a hostel near the waterfront like Urban Youth Hostel or Beach & Arts Hostel.
Valencia Airport is about 8-10 kilometers from the city center. From the airport, you can take the metro (Lines 3 and 5) to Xàtiva or Colón stations, which are within a 10-15 minute walk of most central hostels. A taxi to the old town takes around 20-30 minutes depending on traffic.
Valencia's hostel scene is split between the old town's tight, social warren and the broad avenues closer to the City of Arts and Sciences. In the Barrio del Carmen and around the Central Market, hostels like Purple Nest and Home Youth Hostel put you within steps of the nightlife and the Turia Garden's green spine. Further east, near the Oceanogràfic and the beach, hostels like U-Nit and Beach & Arts trade the party for quieter streets and quicker access to the sand.
Prices start as low as €9 a night for a dorm bed at Red Nest, while pod-style private rooms at The Pod Suite Hostel Village and The Central House Valencia Mercado Central push towards €70. In between, most hostels include free Wi-Fi, lockers, and a shared kitchen, with a few offering extras like rooftop bars, walking tours, or adult-only quiet. The cheapest beds are in the oldest, liveliest part of town; the higher prices buy space, privacy pods, or a location outside the tourist core, like Aiora's adults-only dorms near the Science Museum or the quiet, soundproofed rooms at Star Plaza Espana.
These hostels are ideal for budget-conscious travelers who want to stay social and central, especially in the old town or near the train station. For those needing more privacy or space, consider private rooms in the same hostels or look into guest houses. If you're visiting with family or seeking more amenities, check out our pages for family-friendly hotels, hotels with parking, or higher-star options like 4-star hotels. For a beach vacation, our beach hotels page lists those closer to the coast, and if you're flying in, the airport hotels page might be more convenient.
