“Basic”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

This hotel is very basic for the price.100 euros for one night bed and breakfast should get you more. Stayed one week, the cleaners only left soap once.The cleaning left a lot to be desired ,actually timed them one day 7 minutes to clean, says it all.That was how petty it became.The furniture and decor resemble a school dormitory. No kettle for tea and coffee. 2 euros to use the safe....really ! The buffet breakfast is lacking, Juice is coloured squash,a selection of mediocre meats, cheeses and bread, served in what resembles a school canteen and is a scramble for food and seating which is a shame as the view is great. Overall the location is fantastic and this should be a beautiful art deco hotel, sadly it is not. Strongly would not recommend it!!!

“needs change of management”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 December 2011
3
people found this review helpful

Essentially ok and some staff were friendly and helpful, but I would expect both service and maintenance to be very good in a hotel like this on Tenerife. A lot of effort was made to provide a nice New Year's Eve party, but I could not help getting the nagging impression that management are only in it for the money. Some staff did not appear to be qualified for the service they offered. Perhaps my expectations were too high, having been to a hotel in Egypt the year before and having a lovely little beauty parlour around the corner in the UK.

“Demolish it”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 October 2011
4
people found this review helpful

Friendly staff don't make up for no kettle, no remote for TV, no air con, terrible breakfast,
awful bathroom, towels not fit for a car boot sale, and no bar open on a Sunday night!
The hotel is in a great location but it is tatty and obviously lacking resources. 88 euros for a seaview is taking a liberty.

Room Tip: Go elsewhere

“OLD, NEEDS UPDATING”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 October 2011

Was nice clean hotel, bit on the old fashioned side. no kettle or air con. Rather expensive to upgrade to sea view but worth it.
Food hall is really that, more like a canteen. Not especially good, but there was something for every-one. We stayed in August for a week, was a quiet area, mostly locals.
Need a car to get anywhere though. Would saty again.

Room Tip: top floor rooms. One has its own balcony with sun beds.
