Nice hotel, quiet and clean but there was a funny smell in the bathroom when we first got there but if we kept the toilet seat down the smell went. A couple of my skirts went missing but other than that we enjoyed our stay.

Great for the price… I’d go again!

Great place just a couple of issues but would stay there again 100%. Nobody to greet us on arrival but got key once contact made via phone (after finding number). Wrong room given (double instead of twin). Rectified and had a great stay. Great location - short enjoyable walk from beachfront. Shower temp seemed to be switch either on or off - if you care about that. Helpful staff and trustworthy owner.

Not good choice or got the worst doble they had

The double room was tiny...the bathroom just a box. Quite a change from the studio which was roomy by comparison. Had to book extra night so thought in staying in the same hotel.

Good for winter and short stays

The good ratings are just related to Delia, the most attentive (and competent) receptionist I have ever encountered in my trips. The hotel is basic and dated, no air con so not good for summer. Breakfast is average and the walls are paper thin. Also, the lack of private parking adds stress as you never know where you will find space. The studio was conformable and well equipped. Recommended if you plan just to sleep there as well placed for a quiet night.

Great hotel & service, but privacy felt invaded.

Hotel itself was great, easy check in, kind staff. Room was a queen-sized room with private bathroom, very clean & spacious. Breakfast was tasty with musli, toast, kakes, fruit in syrup, cereals, continental meats, eggs and a juice & coffee machine, but if you unfortunately have dietary restrictions it is a little steep at €7.50. (This isn't a critisism, I just ran the risk :) ) as there was My problem in the layout was that it was ground floor, 2nd in from reception, with it's outside terrace & door opening onto a patio people could walk past & staris leading to other apartments infront leaving no privacy in the room with the curtains open. The bathroom also had no vent, but holes to the neighbours terrace, meaning every whisper of theirs & indeed every noise inside could be heard. This was a little uncomfortable having expected a private bathroom. The noise from those checking out at the front desk leaves you unable to lie in past 8am which is a shame. I would stay here again, but not in the same room, perhaps one higher up.

Excellent value - very clean, comfortable and friendly, with all facilities you could need. It is a walk from the main town centre, and the hill is steep, so need to be mobile, or happy to use taxis. But the walk is worth it as the location is peaceful. Reception area and stairs are all stone/marble so noise does travel - especially to ground floor rooms. And walls are thin too, so occasional interrupted sleep. Nothing too dramatic though. But with good facilities, clean rooms, attentive staff, lovely roof sun terrace and a pool the Don Candido is excellent value for money and would definitely choose again.

The hotel is located in a residential area so it is quiet & safe. Bus transport to all areas of island is located at nearby main road. Walking distance to town centre. If you don't want to walk back up hill to the hotel, take the frequent buses. Plenty of inexpensive cafes/restaurants near hotel. Highly recommended.

This is a great little place. It's a small, quiet hotel. Our room had a queen bed and bunkbeds, large bedroom and a balcony with tables, chairs and a clothes airer. We stayed over Christmas so the room wasn't cleaned as often as usual but it didn't matter. There was an abundance of towels and a fridge which was really handy for drinks. Found it odd there was no soap so we bought some. There is a small swimming pool (cold water) and an area with chairs/tables/loungers but the sun never reaches the pool area. The seating area around the front does get the sun. You can order breakfast the night before for 7euros but we didn't do this so can't comment on that. It's up a very steep hill, we walked it a couple of times but it was only 4euros for a taxi from the centre so we did that mostly when returning at night. Walking down into town took just over 10 minutes and from there you can wander to the port/old town, beaches, bars/restaurants, Loro Park (well worth a visit!) etc. We had a hire car (which we didn't really need) and it could be tricky finding a parking space sometimes. Only real criticism was the showerhead needs fixing but we managed (and should have told them but never got round to it). Overall, we can't fault the place, it was fantastic value for money when compared to other hotels and we would stay there again. If you're looking for safe, basic and clean as a base, rather than fancy hotel you'd stop at all day, this is the place for you.

Most confortable madrass ever, and large bed. Clean hotel, nice room, and very friendly and helpful staff. The area where the hotel is located is safe and calm - parking on the streets around the hotel Is free, as the hotel advertises, but is very difficult at all times. The breakfast is a little basic- it would improve exponentially with a few fresh options (ex bread / fruit).

Not a bad hotel to stay if I’m honest, I was shown a balcony on my booking when I booked a room but turned out I was put down stairs which was annoying, the pool was full of dead insects and leaves and other bits which put me off going into to it so I decided to go elsewere or even go swimmming in the sea. The area the hotel is in seems abit rough buildings look like there falling apart, swings missing off the park. The staff was friendly especially a young lad that worked there. He always asked if I needed anything but the other staff kept talking to me in Spanish when I told them a few times I don’t speak Spanish. My room was cleaned everyday apart from the weekend and the pool was closed on Sunday after it had been cleaned so again I had to go out of my area to sit by a pool which was annoying. Breakfast was great I won’t lie! Good coffee machine and juice machine, the food was always fresh, always had different food each day and a lot of choice.

No entiendo las malas reseñas de otros huéspedes, un hotel que por lo que por si precio, ubicación, atención, seguimiento, instalaciones... Y muchas más cosas está para quitarse el sombrero. Las chicas de recepción no pueden ser más atentas no amables, la limpieza muy buena, la cama super cómoda, las instalaciones pensadas al mínimo detalle para que no te falte de nada, cápsulas y demás productos en la máquina expendedora, microondas para uso personal por si quieres calentarte una cena y disfrutarla en la terraza como hicimos nosotros y por si fuera poco, habitación equipada con nevera, caja fuyy secador, yo sin duda si vuelvo a puerto de la cruz no dudaré en alojarme allí. A sido un placer y gracias chicas de recepción (rubia y morena) por vuestra profesionalidad. Me aloje del 24 al 27 de agosto de 2025
