Alsol Walhalla

Have stayed at these apartments many times, but not since they have been refurbished. They are clean, modern and spacious. Comfortable beds, fully equipped kitchen and comfortable furniture. Great location for both the beach and the Yumbo. Pool bar serves extensive snacks and drinks with friendly staff. Lovely well kept gardens and pool area.

The apartments are cheap and cheerful. Modern, but not of good quality. If you’re in apartments 1 to 5 the you are away from the pool, up three flights of stairs (no lift). So only suitable for the fit and able. The advantage is that they have their own gardens. In front of apartments 1 to 5 (closer to the pool) are 5 privately owned apartments. There are also some privately owned apartments in the main building. The people owning these apartments have made rules for the pool that are strict, such as no inflatables are allowed in the pool. This is a real shame for the kids. The pool is large, so the rule is completely unnecessary. The gardener is pretty annoying as at around 16:00 - 17:00 he comes out with the mega noisy leaf blower. Just the time when you’re back from the pool/beach and would like to relax on the garden with a drink. We asked if he could do it at a different time but he said he could not. Then between 18:30 and 19:30 (when you’re heading out for dinner) they turn the water sprinklers on for the plants. This means it’s impossible to leave your room (if in the apartments 1 to 5) without getting wet. We informed the staff of this, but they didn’t really care. We were there at the start of February (week 7). The temperature during the day is nice (around 25 degrees), but it’s cool first thing in the morning and in the evening with a light wind making it feel cooler. Long sleeves and long dresses/trousers are needed to be warm enough in the evening. I’d also recommend warmer sleep wear/pyjamas and slippers as it’s quite cool in the rooms with no heating and tiled floors. There are many good supermarkets located close by. The pool bar is closed all day on Sundays and Wednesday. The bar makes an excellent Sangria (it’s quite strong) and the bar man is lovely. The food there is also nice and very reasonably priced. There is a very nice and helpful female life guard at the pool. It’s only a short and easy walk to the beach and restaurants. The kitchen is well equipped, with a toaster, hand blender and coffee machine. Our apartment was for 4 people, but only had three chairs at the breakfast bar, which was a bit annoying as it was too cold to eat breakfast outside in the morning (there are chairs and a table in the garden). You have to run the shower for a very long time to get hot water. When the warm water does come, it’s very temperamental. This was quite unpleasant as it’s cool in the evenings, so you definitely don’t want a tepid/cold shower at this point. The local beach is nice, but windy. The locals have thought about this though and put up loads of wind blocks. To rent two sunbeds and an umbrella is only 7.50 Euro. There is a bus, (No. 90 and 66) that stops a 5 min walk from the hotel, which goes to the airport in around 40 mins. The fare for 1 adult and a child is 7 Euro. The bus stop has a digital screen showing the bus times.

Previously posted a review about our stay which was cut short due to our son suffering a croup attack. Vowed to return and we did. Family of 5 two adults three kids aged 12, 11 & 7. Absolutely couldn't fault it, great price for what you get.Great location. Spent most of our evenings a short walk away eating in the red cow and then downstairs to shenanigans for the family quiz and karaoke. Apartments spotless, close to beach and felt very safe as it is a gated enclosure. Same as our previous review, wonderful stay and we will be back!

Our 10th time here and always a great experience, stayed in the bungalows again for the 4/5th time, spotless and kept in great condition, think it’s definitely time to get some A/C in the bungalows Alsol , otherwise we love the place. Diego and his wife run the pool bar as an awesome little place. Will be back again, excellent location for beach, restaurants and transportation to the airport and surrounding areas

Returned from a family holiday in february with my husband and 2 kids aged 5 and 12. This was our 2nd visit having previously stayed at walhalla february 22'. Last time we were in room 309 which was completely updated to an excellent standard. Our recent visit we were ground floor room 101 - not a good room I'm afraid. It was smaller and darker than previous, bathroom was half updated with a poor shower cubicle which leaked! Last room was a glass panel with walk in shower - lovely! No air con just fans which was noisy in our bedroom so was hot at nights. Room 101 is also next to the cleaners office so every morning we were woken by the cleaners noisy conversations and clanging their equipment (and yes windows were all closed). Was so glad for Sunday when we could have a longish lye in. Previous visit our family experienced worms in the ground floor rooms, thankfully we didn't have this issue. 1st night I noticed a worm on floor in main living area but after this there was no a reoccurring issue. Our main door and bathroom looked like it had previously had a break in as it was screwed shut. This is poor. Someone could have easily kicked in our front door and got into the apartment as it did not feel secure at all! There was also no draining for dishes so this made a mess in kitchen area. Other apartment had this nect to sink :/ apart from the above issues our holiday was brilliant, the convenience of being literally a walk away from the pool was handy with the kids. Staff are all very pleasant, bar by pool very convenient and bar staff very friendly. Pool is heated so ideal during a winter holiday, and excellent location to most amentities. As frequent visitors to Gran Canaria (as we have friends who stay there) we would return tk the walhalla as we always enjoy our stay however next time it would be good to have either a ground floor apartment either rooms 103, 104 or 105 (away from cleaners and not near the main gate into complex) or top floor to get those amazing views! Until maybe next time..... february 2025?

I have previously stayed at the Walhalla in the main apartment block and had been very happy with the size and quality of the room. This time we stayed in one of the Walhalla’s small number of bungalows (located just up a flight of stairs behind the swimming pool). We were blown away. We can’t speak highly enough of these fantastic bungalows. In brief: we had two bedrooms (a double and a twin); two bathrooms with full walk-in showers; large kitchen area; very spacious lounge with sofa that also converted to a double bed; terrace; garden (which was beautifully maintained); and sunbeds and outdoor table and chairs. The kitchen was very well stocked with utensils/appliances, including kettle, toaster, coffee maker. There was also a pack of cloths, sponges and washing up liquid. Bathrooms had toiletries (liquid soap and shower gel). The whole place was spotless and in really good condition. It had the benefit of being in a quiet corner, so was very peaceful – yet just a few stairs away from the pool. We would stay at these bungalows again in a heartbeat.
