Santa Cruz de Tenerife Hostels

Unfortunately we got a room inside the hotel with just a window to a ventilation shaft. Resulting in permanent noise from top roof bar through this chimney even we've been two floors below. Sleeping only possible after 2am. We informed the reception but no action was taken. Breakfast is good but a hotel should guarantee a good sleep first.

Overall a hotel 10! The location being central makes it difficult to park, we recommend reserving a parking space for €8/day. The breakfast was undoubtedly the best and the staff was very pleasant.

Great place to stay to explore the northern part of Tenerife. The staff are helpful and friendly. The pool is nice, a tad small for the size of the hotel but there is a very nice beach close by (Playa de Teresitas). Breakfast is diverse and tasty. We had cocktails at the bar downstairs each night, great vibe and nice drinks.

We had high hopes for our stay at the Silken Atlantida Santa Cruz based on the reviews however we was left very disappointed. The pro’s is that the hotel is in a good location, a quick 5 minute walk from the bus station and there is good shopping around and nice eateries. The bed was comfortable. Breakfast was really good with a great buffet selection. The con’s - overall this hotel is poor value for money the rooms are average size for a city centre, we paid extra for the ‘executive’ lounge. We have been lucky enough to have experienced executive lounges in many hotels around the world and this executive lounge is the worst! It’s just on tap coffee ( you have to take your own cups that are supplied in your room) with fruit ( well just apples) and ‘pastries’ (pre packaged tiny single muffins and single pre packed biscuits ) there isn’t even any fresh milk. In a usual executive lounge you are proved with unlimited snacks and soft drinks through out the day with unlimited canapés and alcoholic drinks early evening for an allotted time slot. You really need to rename what you are offering as it is definitely not an executive lounge. The air conditioning in the room was non existent, the room was uncomfortably warm despite having the air conditioner on ‘full’, the lobby areas around the hotel was colder than our room. The room really lacked any little extras, there wasn’t even any glasses in the room just paper cups never mind any complimentary water, tissues, or extra pillows again in the booking we was told we had a pillow menu?!?! In the bathroom there was no light over the shower and the wall made it difficult to get in and out of the shower. The shower gel was to the end of the bath away from the taps I assume to make it easier for house keeping to refill but there was no non slip *****s so anyone with a disability or who is unstable on their feet could be liable to slip. Seriously I’d give this hotel 3 stars at best mainly for the location but it certainly isn’t a 4 start and in my opinion it really wasn’t worth the €113 we paid.

Almost one year after my stay at Hotel Colon Rambla in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, with my two boys, I find myself reminiscing that this was a really wonderful week. I was actually going for a conference, which first had advertised Colon Rambla as the conference hotel, and the switched to a different hotel. I'm very happy that I kept my booking at Colon Rambla. We had a very spacious family room, right in front of the swimming pool. It was really not a room, more like a three-room apar**ent. Each of those three rooms was larger than a standard room in most high-end hotels I have visited. The general interior also left a very high-end feeling, reminding me of posh condominiums in Singapore. There were some small issues with the beds (would have preferred proper double beds over these easily movable twin beds) and with the aircon (no aircon in the bedrooms if I remember right) but these were only minor nuisances and I slept much better than in most other hotels. Both beds and pillows had OK firmness to my taste. The breakfast was decent, but after a week I started to get a bit tired of the same selection. The boys never got tired, as it had all they ever wanted. We also had dinner several times at the hotel. The kids loved the restaurant. My oldest kid loved the tuna tartar, while the youngest was happy they could also prepare more kidfriendly meals. However, one of the things I really like with the hotel is that it is not too far to walk to a much larger variety of eating options in Santa Cruz. It is also not too far from the Parqua Garcia Sanabria, a kind of small arboretum in the middel of Santa Cruz. My youngest kid loved visiting this park every day, too look at the trees, to play at the playgrounds, or just to eat ice cream. For going to the beach (Playa de Las Teresitas) the hotel reception was helpful with booking a taxi. I found the hotel staff friendly and helpful. What made this the best holiday ever was the serene swimming pool right outside our room. We had this treasure for ourself about 70% of the time. I believe the minimum depth is about 1.20, so a kid below 1.30 or so who cannot swim may not be able to appreciate it. But this is where my youngest kid, at 1.27, definitely learned to swim. And after this, he practically lived in the pool. For one week we paid slightly more than 1000 euros, which I think is quite reasonable for a hotel (room) of this standard.

Pros: Great location on a pedestrian street across from a pretty park with lots of cafes and shops. Also close to other attractions within walking distance. The hotel was absolutely spotless in all areas that I visited. In the guest room, the sheets were ironed and the bed made up perfectly. Check in and check out were performed efficiently and professionally. Every employee I encountered was friendly and helpful. I requested a bathtub, and I got one. :-) My room (#311) faced the park, but was very quiet. The windows must be a sound-insulating type. The breakfast was part buffet style (coffee, juice, cereal, yogurt, sliced bread & a toaster oven, jelly, butter and other condiments) and part menu (eggs, meats & cheese, pastries, fruit, etc.) and was quite adequate to insure that you won’t walk away hungry. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. The room had a neutral smell—no dirty scents or perfumed scents. The window opened if you want fresh air. There is also a thermostat for cool or warm air conditioning. There is a restaurant on floor 1 with a bar and comfortable TV lounge. Also self-service coffee, tea and water available 24/7. Electrical outlets and light switches are conveniently located on each side of the bed just above the bedside table. There are comfy extra blankets folded inside a plastic bag on the top shelves of the closet. There is a safe for valuables, but I think you need to get the key from reception, and there may be a charge. The TV had a variety of channels, but seemed to be satellite rather than cable. Limited foreign languages. I saw German, Russian, English and French in addition to Spanish, but only a couple of each. I watched BBC News in English. In general, the Sercotel Principe Paz is an excellent value for the money. Cons: (The “cons” are not complaints, but only meant to be thorough and honest in order to help future guests and hotel management.) There is no passenger or luggage drop off area. You will need to walk at least half a block if you arrive by taxi, or farther if you drive and park your own car. There are several parking garages nearby where you can park for 24 hours for €6,95. The two and only elevators are very small (typical) and very slow, so you may have to wait some time for your turn, or else take the stairs. The water sprayer for the shower in the bathtub leaked. The bathroom mirror was a little rusty on the edges—nothing but a frame needed here. There was a crack in the porcelain lid of the toilet. There were no bags for sanitary napkin disposal. The wooden furniture in room 311 was dated and a little worn. The windows did not lock. There is no coffee machine, kettle, minibar or refrigerator in the room (but you can go to the buffet area on floor 1 and find coffee and some other goodies). There was no bottled water in the room. The poached eggs I ordered for breakfast were cold—very cold. I suppose they were precooked and refrigerated. The breakfast food in general,

Rapport qualité-prix normal, très bon emplacement pour la visite du centre ville, personnel sympathique, chambres calmes et impeccables, excellent petit déjeuner avec beaucoup de choix, parking public pas trop loin

I searched for a central and economic hotel. This hotel met what I needed. Located in a quiet street in the centre, friendly people careing you well, was clean, and their price was the lowest in the city. Use for economic budgets. No luxury.

We arrived late night at hotel, it took us a little longer for check-in since the receptionist was going somewhere for taking care of the other guests. Once we arrived the room, I was surprised by how big the room was and it has everything. A small kitchen in the corner with electric stove, a little sofa bed, a crib - because we had this trip with our baby, and the bathroom was pretty large also. Only one thing that I missed - I hope one day they will have bidè then it will be just perfect 🤩 but overall, it was perfect
