Clean rooms and very convenient city center but no parking and there is a club directly underneath the hotel so if you’re looking for a good nights rest, this is not the place to stay literally music until 5 AM in the morning but so loud that I couldn’t even hear my TV

Hostel itself was really nice, cute decor with great kitchen and laundry amenities. Quick walk to the beach and bus station. However, the area around the hostel was not the nicest and it was a long walk to the historic centre to find nice places to hang out. There was also a problem with cockroaches in the room that made it very difficult to get a good nights sleep. Steer clear of the ground floor rooms!

Fantastic location right in the heart of Las Palmas. The receptionist who greeted us was super nice and helpful. Our room was very comfortable, with a large bed and nice decorative touches. The roof top patio is nice and has a kitchen for guest use. Our one complaint was the difficulty in finding parking, but the receptionist helped, providing us with their one parking spot for 9 Euro per night. We were very grateful that the one spot was available. This was our final night on the island, and we had a great and restful stay before our flights the next morning. Thank you!

Amazing experience

A lovely place with a unique style. The host was very friendly and let us keep our luggage in the reception until 5pm. The roof top terrace was a hidden gem. A great place to have a barbecue dinner. Very central location and very close to the beach!

Short walk to the beach, bus station and harbour (within 5-10 mins). Plenty of restaurants around. Rooms are bit on the small side (we had one with mezzanine level for the bed) and we didn't realise we'd booked one with a shared bathroom but otherwise it was just what we needed for our 4 days away. Bike & kayak hire is available for free at the hotel. There are kitchen and bathroom facilities and some toiletries for use by the guests. We found a hairdryer in one of the bathrooms but we'd brought our own any way. The rooms are kinda cool and all painted in white with wooden details everywhere. Really great value and we'd happily stay there again next year when we return for the GC Half Marathon.

Lovely hotel full of creativity, natural materials used all over, 2 kitchens, one on the roof terrace, you can cook and use the washer as well. Everything perfectly clean and tidy. A lot of love put into it. Really worth the value.
