Hotels near Chinatown Shoping Center, Santa Cruz de Tenerife

The apartment was pretty good and had the basics like a small kitchen, washing machine, etc. It could definitely use some renovation, but overall everything was fine. I was on the 8th floor and the view from the balcony was really nice. There is also a rooftop terrace which is great. Location is good, you can easily walk to the farmer’s market and city centre, and there is also a bus stop in front of the building.

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.

NH Tenerife far exceeded my expectations in terms of customer service. The hospitality has gone above and beyond anything that I have experienced before. I lost my carry-on suitcase and Juan P. made sure to help me every step of the way. His genuine concern and professionalism were evident. He persistently called the airline, located online claims I needed to file, and helped support me with my lack of fluency in Spanish. I rarely ever post a review, but Juan P. has worked so effectively and efficiently that it prompted me to encourage others to stay at this hotel for Juan P. In most hotels - the amenities and location are similar, the one OUTSTANDING factor for NH Tenerife is the customer service from Juan P. His dedication to ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience left a lasting impression on me. I highly commend Juan for his astonishing efforts and the hotel for fostering a culture of guest-centric service.

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

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.

Our airline cancelled our flight from Tenerife South Airport at the last minute, and rerouted us via the North airport the next day and we had to very quickly book our own accommodation for the night. Booked through Bookings.com pretty much based on proximity to the airport as we had a very early flight the next day. After all the stress of the day the reception staff were lovely and welcoming. Our room was massive and well equipped. We eat at the hotel and it was good and also very reasonable. Due to the early flight and the clocks going forward we were a little anxious that we would set our alarms incorrectly or they wouldn’t update overnight. The night receptionist said he would do a walk up call for us and also would have a grab bag for breakfast waiting for us, as well as organising a taxi. The call happened and the breakfast bag was waiting for us with the Taxi. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful and made what was a very stressful time very pleasant, thank you.
