Hotel Marquesa

“Old charm, great value, spot on location.”

Old charm, great value, spot on location. Cannot fault for value, OK, some negatives but, on the whole, these were outweighed by the positives.

Old charm, great value, spot on location. Cannot fault for value, OK, some negatives but, on the whole, these were outweighed by the positives. We would recommend and stay again. - Yes, the room is very dated, no working air-con, stifling hot at times (but ours was at the front, in full sun), lumpy pillows. Breakfast buffet mixed, but again, for the price, good value. We stuck to the hot eggs and bread or cheese and pastries. + Location was perfect! Just off the main road, so easy to walk from the coach drop off, but in the pedestrianised old town. Stunning views of the church, square, town and Teide from our balcony. The restaurant terrace is a great spot for people watching and listening to some of the very talented buskers playing on the steps opposite. Bar prices were reasonable too. The old part of the hotel is beautiful, make sure you pop upstairs and see the rooms at the front and the old photos around the balcony! The roof terrace pool area was an oasis of cool and quiet, again with great views. Please don't be put off by the bad reviews, go with an open mind and realistic expectations for what you are paying. This is a hotel for 'travellers' who want to experience the old town charms and be within easy walking of a plethora of great restaurants and bars. Not for holidaymakers who want to sit around the pool and be 'entertained' all day. We travelled with Easyjet holidays and this was the cheapest option on offer in Tenerife, you really would not be able to stay for 3 nights in the UK for the price of a week here and we are so glad we were not staying in some high rise, charecterless 'resort'.

“Lovely week at the Marquesa”

Just had a week at the Matguesa hotel in Puerto de la Cruz. Hotel is in a perfect position in the heart of everything. Hotel itself is fine.

Just had a week at the Matguesa hotel in Puerto de la Cruz. Hotel is in a perfect position in the heart of everything. Hotel itself is fine. We stayed in the standard rooms which were a little tired but absolutely fine for our week. Small issue with no fridge in the room which was rectified quickly. Room was cleaned and fresh towels changed everyday so you could not ask for more. Breakfast in the morning was adequate with fresh eggs and a small selection of meats and cheese , coffee from the machines were fine. All in all I would definitely return to this hotel as it was very reasonably priced and we really enjoyed it.

“Budget hotel in a central location ”

The hotel is in an excellent location, close to all amenities and a 15 minute walk from the station if you are using the bus. Although the reception /main areas are traditionally Canarian the rooms do not reflect this. We occupied room 504 which had a good sized terrace with side views of both the … more

The hotel is in an excellent location, close to all amenities and a 15 minute walk from the station if you are using the bus. Although the reception /main areas are traditionally Canarian the rooms do not reflect this. We occupied room 504 which had a good sized terrace with side views of both the sea and the church. The room itself was a good size, but with a mish mash of furniture, some old and some new which isn't very aesthetically pleasing. The central pillar was a tad annoying, especially at night when accessing the bathroom. However, the beds were very comfortable but the one pillow provided was quite frankly woeful. The bathroom was well equipped with a powerful shower and toiletries were provided. Breakfast offered a good selection of cereals, pastries, bread, fruit, yogurt, meats and cheeses, as well as some cooked items. Unfortunately the juice and coffee were undrinkable. I appreciate that beverages from machines can be very hit and miss but these were quite honestly the worst I've ever tasted. Even the Americano had no depth of flavour, which was very disappointing as coffee is for me and essential component of my breakfast.
