It is important to understand the difference between a hostal and a hostel. A hostel is what English people would commonly call a youth hostel: accommodation in which you would normally be sharing dorms with other people. A hostal is something different and is also often called a 'pension'. Hostals or pensions are more like cheap hotels. They are normally small businesses where individuals or couples can sleep in basic rooms. Sometimes there are individual bathrooms, and sometimes the bathrooms are shared.

This page will offer you a full explanation of exactly what a hostal is (in comparison to a hostel). It will also provide links to listings for youth hostels and pensions (or hostals) in Valencia.
