Plaza San Agustín — student housing in Valencia
Plaza San Agustín is a student residence located in the Ciutat Vella district of Valencia (address: 3, Ciutat Vella, 46002 València). It offers two room types — non-ensuite rooms and branded independent house units — with a minimum lease of 4 months and a deposit of €430. The property is currently marked as not available, so interested students should confirm availability directly with the operator. Below is a decision-oriented review to help you assess whether this residence matches your needs.
Who this residence suits
Plaza San Agustín works well for students who prioritise budget and location over spacious accommodation. The reviews consistently describe it as a low-cost option with clean, tidy rooms. Flor Bari wrote: “Good option for low budget sleeping – tiny rooms but clean and perfect for just a sleepover. Good location – a walking distance to the city centre of Valencia.” If you mainly need a safe, clean place to sleep and spend most of your day on campus or exploring the city, the modest room size will not be a problem.
The residence is situated in the old town, making it easy to walk to many city centre amenities, restaurants, and cultural sites. It is also close to the Mestalla stadium (home of Valencia CF). For students studying at either Universidad Politécnica de Valencia or Universitat de Valencia, public transport or a short walk can connect you to the campuses — the exact travel time depends on which faculty you need.
Several reviewers highlighted quietness and cleanliness. Federico f. rated it 5/5 and said: “Unexpected quality for this students accommodation, the rooms where clean, silent and well maintained, for a very good price, the view of estadio Mestalla and the kindness of the clercks completed the positive circle. Most recommended.” If you are sensitive to noise, the reported quiet environment is a plus.
The minimum lease of 4 months suits exchange students or those enrolling for one semester. The deposit is €430 (indicative — confirm with the operator), which is relatively standard for Valencia.
Who it doesn’t suit
Plaza San Agustín is not ideal if you need a large room or a private ensuite bathroom. The unit type is listed as “non_ensuite”, meaning you share bathroom and possibly kitchen facilities with other residents (the branded independent house may have its own facilities, but confirm details with the operator). If having personal space and privacy in wet areas matters to you, look for ensuite or studio units elsewhere.
During the period covered by one review, the building was undergoing renovations, which affected service quality. Jeremy Bayer noted: “They were renovating at the time I was staying so some service lacked quality.” If you are looking for a seamless, fully polished experience from day one, temporary renovation disruptions may be a drawback. You should ask the operator whether renovations are complete before committing.
The residence may also not suit students who want frequent access to the beach. While Jeremy said it is “close enough to the beach and to the city centre”, “close enough” is relative — Valencia’s beaches are a bus ride or longer walk away. If the beach is a high priority, consider properties closer to the coast.
Lastly, the property is currently listed as not available. If you are searching for immediate occupancy in 2026, you need to check whether spaces open up before making it your top choice.
What residents actually say
Three Google reviews (total rating 4.2 from 204 reviews) give a balanced picture.
Flor Bari (rating 4/5) focused on the value for money and location: “Good option for low budget sleeping – tiny rooms but clean and perfect for just a sleepover. Good location – a walking distance to the city centre of Valencia.”
Federico f. (rating 5/5) emphasised the overall quality despite the low price: “Unexpected quality for this students accommodation, the rooms where clean, silent and well maintained, for a very good price, the view of estadio Mestalla and the kindness of the clercks completed the positive circle. Most recommended.”
Jeremy Bayer (rating 4/5) mentioned the temporary renovation issue but appreciated the practical amenities: “They were renovating at the time I was staying so some service lacked quality. Loved that I could cook. Bed comfortable and shower good. Convenient location. Close enough to the beach and to the city centre.”
Common themes: cleanliness, good value, central location, and basic but functional facilities. The only negative note is related to renovation, not inherent design.
Price positioning vs Valencia’s market
Valencia’s student housing market offers 38 properties listed on this platform, with the lowest monthly rent starting at €256 (indicative — confirm with the operator). Plaza San Agustín’s exact price range is not published in the available data, but the reviews describe it as a “very good price” and “low budget”. Given that the property is non-ensuite and from a brand that likely targets cost-conscious students, it is reasonable to expect its rents fall at or near the lower end of the market. The deposit of €430 is also in line with typical practice — usually one month’s rent plus a small amount. However, without an official price, you must contact the operator for a precise quote.
When comparing, remember that the city’s from-price of €256 per month usually corresponds to a shared room or the cheapest non-ensuite option. Plaza San Agustín may be similar or slightly above depending on room type and building condition.
Room-type guidance
Two unit types are offered:
- Non-ensuite: Shared bathroom and kitchen. Best for students who want the lowest possible rent and are comfortable sharing facilities. The rooms are described as “tiny” but adequate for sleeping and studying basic needs.
- Branded independent house: Likely a self-contained unit within the same building — possibly a studio or small flat with private kitchen and bathroom. This type offers more independence, but its price is expected to be higher than non-ensuite. Confirm exact layout and included amenities with the operator.
If you value cooking, note that Jeremy mentioned “loved that I could cook”, so at least some rooms have kitchen access. Ask the operator which room type includes a kitchen and whether it is shared or private.
Booking timing
The residence is currently listed as not available. In student housing, this status can mean either that all rooms are filled for the upcoming academic year or that the property is temporarily off-market for renovations. Since the data references 2026, students planning for the 2026–2027 academic year should monitor availability periodically. Valencia’s student housing tends to fill quickly from spring onwards, especially for budget-friendly options near the city centre. The minimum lease of 4 months allows some flexibility, but early inquiry is advisable. Contact the operator directly via the platform to learn if rooms will open later.
Is Wi-Fi and bills included?
Yes. The tags for Plaza San Agustín include “Wi-Fi” and “bills_included”. This means your monthly rent (indicative — confirm with the operator) covers internet, water, electricity, and possibly gas. You will not have to set up separate utility accounts. Confirm what exactly is included when you receive a quote.
How far is it from the universities?
The address is in the Ciutat Vella district, the historic centre of Valencia. Both Universitat de Valencia and Universidad Politécnica de Valencia have multiple campuses. The main campus of the University of Valencia (Blasco Ibáñez) is roughly a 20-minute walk or short bus ride away. The Polytechnic’s main campus (Vera) is about 30 minutes by public transport. The residence’s central location gives you access to multiple bus and metro lines. Use Google Maps or the operator’s information for precise commute times based on your faculty.
Are there supermarkets and restaurants nearby?
Yes. Being in the old town, you are surrounded by grocery stores (Mercadona, Consum), bakeries, and a wide variety of restaurants and cafés. The central market (Mercat Central) is about a 10–15 minute walk. This makes daily shopping and eating out convenient without needing a bicycle or car.
