There needs to be a “Good” rating, Average seems harsh so I have been generous. The rooms are reached via a central courtyard, ours was on the upper floor. Most importantly the bed was very comfortable, though the pillows were hard and lumpy. But as this is almost always the case I take my own pillow when I travel. The ceiling was high giving a feeling of space and airiness. There is a kettle and a mini nesspresso machine, this is partly why I chose this hotel. Though you only get one coffee pod per day per person, I did ask for more on the first day but ended up just buying some. The little fridge in the room is useful (and quiet) but be aware that when you remove your room key from its slot in the room all the electrics switch off, including the fridge! The large shower was great, with plentiful hot water. The towels were on the small side and rather thin and threadbare. Just a little more attention to detail would make a huge difference, maybe a box of tissues, a couple of hooks for bags and jackets, a second armchair… Breakfast is very good, though we had to skip it on several mornings as they don’t serve breakfast until half eight and then it is fairly slow. A selection of items are brought to the table, a dish of prepared fruit, good toast, a plate of average cheese and meat, a little dish of excellent grated tomato with olive oil and a fab avocado mousse thing. Smoothie of the day was mostly successful. Also yogurt and granola. Eggs are offered too. The impression is that they are understaffed, so the staff who are perfectly nice and friendly give the feeling of being rushed/harassed. The courtyard is very pretty but somehow not a comfortable place to sit and relax. The restaurant is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, every other evening it is absolutely packed so booking ahead is advisable. Good food with a standout dish of diced smoked salmon on a bed of avocado mousse with a ginger dressing and topped with a julienne of radish. A steak and a dish of local fish were prettily presented. The only other restaurant of note in Teguise was closed for the month of January.

Great hotel in the center of Teguise. The room is huge and absolutely beautiful (we stayed in room no.6 with a balcony), the breakfast, made at the moment, is rich and exquisite and the people working there, like Irene, are extremely kind and helpful.
