Pensions in Valencia

[Burlington]

Happy holidays and season's greetings to all...

On my various trips to Spain, I have stayed in a number of simple pensions in all of the major cities I have visited... These places run about 20-30 Euros a night, and have always been clean, friendly and pleasant.... However, they often don't appear on the more common hotel reservation sites, and it can sometimes take a fair bit of street walking to discover one...

Can anyone suggest a basic pension of this sort somewhere in or near the center of Valencia?

Thank you kindly for your advice... Much appreciated....

Cheers

These places run about 20-30 Euros a night,

In past years I've stayed in pensiones that were around that price, but I'd be surprised to find any at €20 nowadays.

I understand that Valencia is a fairly expensive city, so the expectation of 20-30 Euros may be hard to achieve. In May 2023 I stayed in Casa del Patriarca, which was very nice and well located. Their website shows single rooms starting at 55 Euros, but the price can vary a lot, depending on season and what special events are occurring at the time. (And Valencia has lots of special events!) Last year I paid 75 Euros, and the weekend right after there was a fiesta, and I had trouble finding anything for even that price. (There are undoubtedly more modest places, but as you said, they are harder to find.) You might also consider staying a bit out of the city centre, as the cercanias train provides very good connections into the city.
