Top hotel met een prachtige ligging en uitstraling
Pros:

Prachtig hotel met een gevoel van oude grandeur precies gelegen tussen oude en nieuw deel van Las Palmas. We liepen hierdoor elke avond wel minimaal 5 km voor de winkelstraten en eettentje maar is allemaal vlak dus zeer goed te doen. Kamer zijn mooi en schoon maar klein met goede bedden en als je een balkon hebt dan kun je er ook best goed vertoeven voor een uurtje voor t slapen gaan. Ontbijt is prima!

Cons:

Er zijn rond het zwembad te weinig bedjes en het zwembad op het dak is tot 17:00 alleen voor gasten die een suite geboekt hebben. Dit was ons niet duidelijk bij het boeken. De bediening in de bar is niet erg efficiënt (wel erg vriendelijk) en je moet vaak even (een enkele keer langer) wachten

Besser geht’s nicht!
Pros:

Das Hotel hat eine einzigartige wunderschöne Lage inmitten von Palmen und ist total ruhig und trotzdem zentral gelegen.
Die Dachterrasse ein Traum mit einem einzigartigen Ausblick. Die Location beim Frühstück wunderschön, das Frühstücksbüffet sehr gut mit allem, was man sich wünscht.
Das Zimmer sehr komfortabel und sehr schön eingerichtet mit einem tollen Blick in den Park.

A wonderful break in an exceptional hotel.
Pros:

The breakfast on the terrace was exceptional in quality and range of food on offer. Service was professional but friendly. Our room was comfortable with a wonderful shower. The grounds of the hotel were beautifully kept and a haven for bird and plant life. There are restaurants serving local cuisine nearby on the harbour, just a short walk away. Local bus transport is cheap and easy to navigate.

Cons:

The hotel itself is an oasis in a rather busy area. To reach the beach or old town a long walk, bus ride or car is needed.
