This hotel was on the quieter side of the riverwalk, and we splurged and opted for a Deluxe King room with a Balcony overlooking the water. The staff was helpful and even room service was fast. I loved it! I would recommend staying here.

Some of the best staff ever. Even the bartender inquired about our stay. Just an excellent atmosphere and location.

From the moment we arrived to the moment we departed we were greeted with kindness and courtesy by the valet and staff. An excellent hotel on the Riverwalk. We will definitely stay here when we return to San Antonio.

Many hidden fees. You will pay about 25-30% more than what you booked. A fee for everything!! Nothing without being charged. Stay away. Actually. Run Forest Run.

Took my family for a weekend trip, hotel was very clean and staff was friendly. The only downside is the had a hidden fee that is now non refundable. I want to say it was around $30. Also expect to pay for valet parking. It was $60 a day.

All the staff at the hotel were very helpful, they went out of their way ti accommodate you. The hotel was clean and tidy,. We had lunch once at the restaurant/bar and it was obvious that one person couldn't keep up with the inflowing crowd, there were othere restaurant workers standing around, but they did nothing to help the one person taking care of 12 to 15 customers at a time. I was disappointed with the bed in the room, it seemed like it was there since the hotel opened, there were indentations so deep in the mattress that it formed a mountain range in the middle. Besides those things the hotel was great.

This is the best hotel I've stayed at in San Antonio. We come to San Antonio every couple of years and stay somewhere new each time but this is going to be the go to spot from now on. The service was incredible. All of the staff was helpful and kind and knowledgeable. The room was beautiful and the whole property smelled amazing.

The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff very friendly and helpful. I appreciated getting a margarita at check-in. There was a little bit of construction going on near the front lobby that did not seem to be an issue for us. I love the location being so close to the majestic theater. And their breakfast was fantastic.

Deceptive practices. They charge you an additional $40, or $20 something per person, that can only be used in the restaurant in the hotel that you probably don't want to go to. I mean, who goes to a hotel downtown to eat when there are SO many good options for eating within walking distance. The hotel was comfortable and clean, so I'm not saying it's a bad hotel. We just don't like getting screwed out of money and so we would not return to this hotel until we've tried every other hotel in the area, and there are MANY hotel options in this very desirable location. We'll probably try the Embassy Suites or the Marriott next time. However, if you like a touch of rip off with your stay, this is probably a solid option for you.

$60 dollar for you valet parking after your booking! Not good .. I will not recommend it. I’d like 4 different businesses in the same building..

I think if they update everything even in the rooms, the comforters, The down comforters were very used. I might say overused they were flat, not fluffy. I think the parking fee to park there was ridiculously overpriced

The hotel was under construction and we where unable to use the stairs. ( which was a key point in us coming) The elevator doors closed quickly and I almost got caught in the it. And while the hostest was super sweet. They where not clean in the $22 fee that could be used at the restaurant and not for room service for the restaurant food.

There wasn't a mini fridge. The only one was the one designed for beverages which was already fully stocked. It would have been nice to have one for leftovers etc. The cleaning wasn't consistent. Sometimes fresh towels and at times not replenished. Overall it was a very nice stay. The location was perfect and the staff awesome.

We stayed at The Hotel Valencia for our Anniversary. Our stay was great and will be staying there again in the future. Great hospitality with a margarita offered at check in! The balcony by the bar has a great view of the Riverwalk. The balcony in our suite was also a great view. Our room was very clean and we were very satisfied. The bar tenders were very attentive and very friendly too.

A very quaint, upscale property that sits on the Riverwalk. They offer valet parking for a fee or you can park in the public garage, which was 2 blocks over. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. There was a well stocked fridge with beverages and a great variety of snacks available for purchase. I would definitely stay here again. 10/10 definitely recommend!

Also one of the housekeeping at the 7 floor and she was very nice. Now the room the A/C was making noise all the time ( vibrations) and the coffe machine did not work. I feel that the beds are small for 2 adults. In the bathroom there are 0 cups for personal hygiene. I may explore other hotel next time that we visit San Antonio.

Hotel was very nice, but Expedia lists it as having a pool under amenities. (Photo attached) It does not have a pool, it has a fountain in the lobby (which is what is pictured under amenities). Great location, friendly staff, but we explicitly chose Hotel Valencia because we it had a pool according to Expedia. Stay would have been exceptional (even without the pool), but on two of the four days we stayed the wait for valet parking to bring our car was ridiculous. They tell you to call for your car 15 minutes before you want to depart, we ended up waiting 30 minutes beyond that. This lateness actually forced us to miss a key component of my son’s bootcamp graduation.

Our room was spacious, comfortable, and opened directly into a charming courtyard with tables and chairs, providing a relaxing outdoor space. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, and the shower featured excellent water pressure. The hotel also provided high-quality luxury toiletries, which were a nice touch. The in-room refrigerator was stocked with a variety of ice-cold alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, making it convenient. The fitness center was well-equipped and offered a good variety of exercise equipment, making it easy to maintain a workout routine while traveling. The hotel's downtown location was another major highlight. There were numerous restaurants, shops, and attractions within walking distance, making it easy to explore the area without needing to drive. One thing to be aware of is the hotel's "destination fee." While it is deducted from your authorization hold, it also functions as a credit that can be used at a designated affiliated restaurant. Understanding how this fee works ahead of time can help you take full advantage of the included credit. Valet parking was available but quite expensive. We chose to park in a nearby garage for a significantly lower cost, which was a convenient and budget-friendly alternative. We did not get to visit the bar but we will hopefully get to experience it next time!

Room was extremely clean, staff were overly helpful and I loved that. Breakfast was pricey but good and not over filing. Didn’t have a balcony but could see views from our room, it looked nice. Definitely will be rebooking every time it in San Antonio. Very close to the Alamo.

I have asked for a lower level because I am phobic and have a fear of heights. They put me on the 10th floor. Additionally, they charged me almost $90.00 for valet parking. Valet should be complementary for free and then you tip. Not get charged and tip. Also they scratch my passenger side mirror on my brand new 2026 vehicle.

Upon walking in, the hotel looked beautiful! However after an exhausting day of treatment walking into the room, it was not cold. Thinking maybe it’s bc it was so hot outside, I lowered it down to 60. Maybe after a shower it would be nice and cold. However it wasn’t. After the shower I checked the bed and I was extremely disappointed with the condition it was in. The bedding had multiple yellow stains(looks to be a huge pee stain), that had simply been covered with a mattress pad, and I even found candy stuck in the carpet and all along the mattress/railing. I have allergies and am very sensitive to cleanliness, so I was not comfortable staying in this room. This is not what I expected from a luxury hotel.

It was quick stop for us and the location was amazing. We were able to walk everywhere on the riverwalk!

No pool, beds are twins not queens like most hotels and not worth the price when you consider what we paid for our two rooms. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend if you have children who enjoy a swimming pool. Elizabeth specifically wasn’t very helpful but the rest of the staff was very kind. Maraud at the valet stand was amazing and so was the rest of the staff.

It is very nice and beautiful hotel. Very clean, very elegant. Location was nice but not where I expected to be on the correct side of the riverwalk I wanted to be. I had called at 6:10 that we were running late on check in and I was told there would be issue with the room I requested. But there was an issue, we received a room with 2 twins side beds and it was my and my husband anniversary and we ended up sleeping on separate beds. We were told there was nothing else available very disappointed. My reservation was queen bed and balcony, and we disnt get either.
