Reviews and Ratings
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.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and clean, adorned with charming rustic furniture, although the low sloping ceiling in the bedrooms may be a minor inconvenience. The service was exceptional, with the staff going above and beyond to accommodate our requests. The location offers both tranquility in the quiet village and breathtaking sunsets behind the building, ideal for exploring the stunning interior of the island. Dining was good but could have been improved with a more varied selection for trekkers. Overall, a great value for money stay.
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.
The hotel offers a convenient location for exploring Gran Canaria with stunning scenery, cozy rooms, and very friendly service. However, the dining options are limited, and the rooms are not as cozy as before.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room was spacious, comfortable, clean, and warm, which was great since all our clothes were wet. However, the lack of natural light made it a bit dark, and some areas like the bathroom needed attention. The service was excellent, with kind and helpful staff. The location was stunning and perfect for hiking, but the dining options were quite basic. The facilities were decent, but some areas needed refurbishment.
