Best Hotels near Da Gigi, Santa Cruz De Tenerife

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.

This is a lovely hotel on the edge of the city centre. We had a first floor room overlooking the park with a small ‘Juliet’ balcony so had a lovely view. Definitely a good choice as many rooms overlook the streets. The room was spacious and modern with a massive bed, which was extremely comfortable. Modern bathroom with rainforest type shower. There was a small fridge in the room which was useful to keep water ( and a couple of beers!) cool. Breakfast was buffet style and there was a good selection of fruit, cereals and hot and cold buffet. We ate out for other meals so can’t comment on lunch or dinner. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There’s a good selection of restaurants within a few minutes walk and more in the centre about 10 minutes walk away. The port is about 15 minutes walk. There’s also a handy supermarket around the corner and a pharmacy next door. The only down side for us was we had great difficulty getting a WiFi signal in our room. No problem with WiFi in the public rooms but it would have been useful to be able to get a good signal in our room. Having said that, we wouldn’t hesitate to book there again.

I have to admit that when I arrived at Santa Cruz I thought I'd made a terrible mistake in booking this holiday. The City itself is very industrial on the outskirts and is not a traditional holiday resort type destination. After exploring the city the next day I was relieved that there are some lovely bars restaurants and open spaces in the city well within walking distance of the hotel. It is a totally Spanish resort, there is not a lot for kids to do and most people do not speak English. The restaurant s are mainly Tapas and generally close at around midnight. There are no tourist type shops at all. I traveled with my family 2 kids aged 12 and 14. We had a good time but it was tricky at times because you have to make an effort. Having said that it was a good holiday the city has amazing shops and the outdoor lido is well worth a visit. The beach is also lovely but again no shops nearby. There was no where to even buy floats or beach stuff. The hotel is first class in terms of service, facilities and location. My wife and I would return but for a shorter stay and if I could make one change to our stay we should have hired a car. To visit the South.

The location was the best part of the hotel experience. The room was rather small and dark because the window looked out to a dark alley and was opposite another tall building. The bathroom had a hairdryer and toiletries, including toothbrushes and a razor kit. Unfortunately, the mattresses on our twin beds were too hard to be comfortable. The staff at the reception was friendly. The breakfast was nothing special. Dried-up eggs and bacon that had been cooked earlier and kept under a heat lamp. The coffee was served from a machine and was also disappointing.

The hotel is in a very good location, has very fast WiFi. Rooms are cleaned daily. Cleaning staff really needs solid re-training. Every time I left the room, I closed the window so that no one could jump into the room while I was gone and steal valuable things there, such as a laptop, camera, tablet, etc. However, when I returned, I found that the window was wide open. My room was on the ground floor, so anyone could jump in and rob my room at any time (It wouldn't take longer than 1 minute). The window led to the courtyard where there were no cctv cameras. Despite complaining to the hotel manager for 5 days in a row, nothing changed. Even when I put a sign on the window asking the cleaners to close the window after cleaning, they simply ripped it off and left the window open again. This put me under a lot of stress because for several days of my stay I was constantly wondering whether my things were still in the hotel while I was away from the hotel... this is unacceptable!!! besides, two times my towels were taken away and I never got clean ones, I had to go to the reception and ask for clean towels... with all due respect but your cleaning staff really needs solid re-training

I spent a night at the Adonis Plaza last week before boarding a cruise and am currently back at the hotel for a night at the end of the cruise before flying home tomorrow. Last week was a pleasant stay in a quiet, clean room (number 407) with comfortable bed and nice/modern bathroom. Today is sadly a different experience. I was told my room would be ready at 2pm; the time came and went and the room still wasn't ready so the receptionist - who was very helpful - said she would give me a different room (number 614). Similarly equipped to the room I had last week unfortunately this has a connecting door to the adjacent room and the noise is terrible! I can hear every word spoken next door as loud as if the people were in my room. Also, despite being on the sixth floor, there is a lot of noise from the street outside. The rooms with connecting doors are only suitable for families not for people who don't want to have to listen to everything said by the guests next door. Sadly, I would not stay at the hotel again which is a shame as the staff are very pleasant and the hotel is well located for the cruise port.

Unexpected wonderful place to stay, with a very cozy lobby, clean rooms, very good breakfast, truly polite personnel and nice smells and music all over the place. I enjoy every minute. An interesting selection of wines and the city view from the terrace complete the hole picture

Even the hotel is not in the city centre, it has a good location, near the harbour, and only a 10-15 minute walking distance from the centre. There is a nice walking route at the ocean front with georgeous plants.

The hotel is very clean. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They do serve delicious meals, loved the servings of their breakfast, and being a coffee drinker, they have the most delicious one there. The location in the Center of the city, the beach is 30 minutes with the public transport 5 minutes walk from the hotel. By car it’s 10-15 minutes. A perfect spot to go for evening walks. The area feels very safe in the evening, the city Center is very lively even during the week days. The area is Perfect for people travelling alone and couples or even families.

We had an enjoyable stay at the Hotel Colon Rambla and generally found it to be a good hotel. We had a Junior Suite which was a lovely, spacious room overlooking the lush gardens and pool. The hotel is well placed to explore all Santa Cruz has to offer with nothing being more than a 15 min walk away. The area is great - streets lined with beautiful old colonial houses, everywhere beautifully kept. Staff at the hotel were friendly and helpful, the housekeeping service was good, the garden and pool area immaculate. The only thing that let the hotel down for us was the breakfast which we generally found somewhat haphazard. It was very hit and miss as to whether things - food, crockery, the coffee machine, somewhere to sit - would be available or not! Some days it was fine but on others there would not be any bowls, the bread would all be gone, tables would not be cleared, one of the coffee machines would not be working. It didn’t seem to matter what time we arrived but obviously was affected if breakfast was quite busy. This is an area the hotel need to look at as otherwise our stay was just about perfect.
