The hotel offers spacious, clean, and comfortable rooms, equipped with heaters and blankets to keep you warm in the mountain air at night. While the rooms are a good size with functional bathrooms, some may find them slightly cold during meal times due to the low sloping ceiling. The location is perfect for exploring the stunning sights of the island from its central position. The dining experience is reasonably priced and consists of delicious home-cooked meals, though some dishes may be less flavorful. Overall, a great value for a stay in the heart of Gran Canaria.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room was small and filled with mouldy air that was hard to ventilate, but the bed was surprisingly comfortable. The generous breakfast provided was perfect for a day of trekking. The service was exceptionally welcoming and friendly, making me feel at home. The location was beautiful, especially with an idyllic sunset just behind the building, though the area was still recovering from a past forest fire, leading to some closures. The dining options were decent but basic, and I opted to have an evening meal at a nearby location. The facilities were adequate but lacked some emergency procedures.
