“Good Stay at Hesperia”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

people found this review helpful

We stayed from 24 Jan until 4th of Feb.

After seeing so many bad reviews about this property after we have booked we got really scared checking in :-), however our experience are rather positive than negative.

The hotel is nicely located in quiet corner of town, takes about 10 Min to get to the main street, the only downside of this property is that is quite windy up here as it is located on the edge of the island.

As we are from Hospitality Industry we were not expecting much from 3 star property in Canary Island but we were surprised :-) Yes the hotel needs a lot of touch up (Paint etc...) but that is not a problem for us when you go on your budget holidays and paying little over €30 half board pp :-)

Upon Check in a lot of informations were given to us about the Hotel and surroundings. We have requested cot beds to our rooms and we had them organised.

The TV in the bedrooms have 7 or 9 Spanish Channels, and the other 30 channels are pey-per-view, including German Channels, Italian, French and English (Sky Movies, Sky Sport). All them extra channels can be unlocked for €4 per day from 12.00 to 12.00 next day or discount for 7days €21.

Room safes €2 per day + deposit €5

You can upgrade to better room for €12.00 per day when you get there.

On site

3 Pools - Kids Pool not heated, Big Pool not heated, Medium Pool heated 24*C

Tennis Court - €6 per hour + €1.5per racket
Table Tennis - €3 per hour

Pool Tables - €1 per game
Also have Game Console (Fifa 12 etc. €2 for 20min)
Internet Free ( Lobby Only - terribly slow), Also have guests Computers in lobby €2 - 15min

Supermarket on site - Prices same as in supermarkets down town (some items little bit more expensive, but has everything you need, food, toiletries, alcohol, tabaco etc)

Laundry on site - didn't use it

Pool Bar - Opening for only short while from 12.40 noon till 16.00 average

NO OTHER BAR IN THE HOTEL

Rooms:

We got double (2 single beds connected)
Small Kitchen - equipped with Pans, pots, cutlery, microwave, 2 hobs, kettle) all brand new, despite negative reviews that they were old ??? Maybe the hotel updated ???

Living room - small wooden couch very uncomfortable

Balcony table and 4 chairs

TV quite small - even buying all them channels hard to see 14"

Room service every day Mon - Sat towels changed every 2 days

Room also equipped with plastic Clothes dryer

Bathroom - Toiletries given , towels, good size clean, there is no HAIR DRYER in the rooms, can be rented from local shop attached to the hotel for €2.00 per day and booking deposit of €10, bikes can be rented for a day from that shop also for €9 per day


Half board bases:

Breakfast served from 8.00am - 10am Mon to Sat, and 10.30 Sunday
Big variety of meat ( Sausages - 3 types, Bacon, Eggs cooked in 4 different ways, Ham, Cheeses, Fruits, Breads etc.) to buy on site €6.30pp

Dinner served from 7.30pm till 10pm every day
Buffet Style - Big variety of salads, seafood, Fresh Fruit, Always soup of the day, Small variety of meat, Pasta, looked to be very repetitive ) Cost to buy on site €12.50pp - You can get better value elsewhere in down town from €8.00pp Chinese Buffet to €12-€15pp main in restaurants.

“Shabby apartments.....”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

people found this review helpful

Staff were pleasant enough. No bar except the one round the pool which closed at 16:30. Dust and bits were for ever being blown into the room from outside. Windows vibrated. I just want to use the term 'Cheap and Cheerful', but it was neither. Always ate out as there was no bar. A bad advertisement for any hotelier. Just makes me wonder what kind of place people have stayed in before to rate it high !!!

Room Tip: Choose a room in another place.

“Bristol Playa”

people found this review helpful

We have just arrived back from the Bristol Playa the staff were friendly and polite and the cleaning around the complex was good and in the apartments, but the apartments were very basic no toaster no hairdryer not many kitchen utensils not many dishes sofa very uncomfortable, did'nt see any ants or cockroaches but plenty of cats the pool bar was open from 12-30 until 16-30 serving only drinks no food or snacks and there was nowhere to have a drink in the evening, we had noisy people above us playing loud music until 4am complained to reception and they did deal with it. Highlight of our holiday was going on the ferry over to Lanzarote it was lovely over there, another trip you don't want to miss is the Jandia Express to the south of the Island it was beautiful well worth a visit. Would we return to the Bristol Playa definetly not.

“Great value!!!”

Second visit to the Hesperia and as others have echoed it represents great value for money, we paid £180 for a week uincluding flights and taxi transfers, which made the hotel work out at £9 p/p/n! Staff are very friendly, location for me great, lovely views, some great restaurants and bars around in the old town and your along way from the awful main strip!You can also upgrade to a junior suite( 4* qualiy) for 20 euro a night which was a nice way to end the holiday.

“Andrea the waiter went beyond his call of duty, got me gluten free food at no extra cost”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012

people found this review helpful

The hotel was at the most northern point of the Island, any further and we'd be in the sea! Wouldn't recommend the hotel for physically infirm as its a good 10 minutes trek to the shops, good restaurants and bars. It was styled traditionally as a bodega,heavily featuring dark wood which made it appear gloomy and dated. It was clean and comfortable. We upgraded to a room with a sea view at a cost of 10 euros per night,- well worth it, we must've had the best apartment in the block!
The head waiter Andrea and his staff were extremely helpful and kept a very clean restaurant which offered the usual Spanish menu's, - more than adequate.Bar closed at night and no entertainment during evenings, but animation staff apparently there during days till 3pm. Would go back to Corralejo, but to the "new area", where most things are in acceptable walking distance.
Our first visit to the Island, didnt believe it could get so windy there. Take extra layers, you'll need it at night.
Free wifi. Pools clean and attended. Massage chairs and luggage weighing scales!

Room Tip: pay the extra for sea views
