Top Santa Cruz de Tenerife Hotel Reviews
Iberostar Heritage Grand Mencey
"The property was very clean and well maintained . Linen was changed every day. Lovely and fresh. The Iberostar app was very useful and easy to use. The breakfast was very good and had a lot of selection, even a menu to choose from if you wished. We stayed 5 nights and ate in the pool Resturant twice. Once being part of the gastrospa experience. We also ate in the menencey Resturant which was very good. Sheila our waitress that evening was lovely. My only thing would be the lighting inside the hotel in the Resturants is a bit bright and maybe in the evening Resturant some soft music would be nice."
Hotel Taburiente
"The hotel its self is of a high standard with all facilitates needed in order to have the complete city break. The roof top pool and lounge areas although small were well kept and not too crowded at the time of our visit but you can say if there where a few more people there space would be at a premium. Underground parking is tight but plenty of spaces at affordable rates, The rooms we stayed in was dated but generally clean to a basic level, The hotel did contribute to what was an amazing time spent travelling around the island so a solid 7/10 overall."
Hotel Taro Santa Cruz
"Great hotel. Quite beyond our expectations. Highly recommend. Staff was absolutely amazing."
Hotel emblemático Hi Suites
"Fantastic stay in the center of Santa Cruz. We were traveling with a 3 month old so the small kitchen was a great perk. The staff is very thoughtful and had the room prepared with a crib and baby chair. The rooms were airy and light. I would absolutely stay here again."
AC Hotel Tenerife by Marriott
"Great location, lovely staff. Good breakfast. Excellent rooftop bar. Will be returning if the price is reasonable, bearing in mind there’s lot of competition nearby."
Barceló Santa Cruz Contemporáneo
"Il se situe près d'un magnifique parc et près de rue marché avec commerce vraiment cool"
Hotel Adonis Plaza
"We decided to stay one night at the hotel prior to attending a music festival and we had a really good time here! The air conditioning worked perfectly (great for summer time and sleeping quality), very clean room, spacious and friendly staff. The only thing to consider is that our room had an external balcony but it could barely fit one person, so don’t get misled to think it’s a big balcony. Besides this, we took the breakfast and it was a decent buffet style with several options to pick from. Overall, we do recommend and would stay here again, but skip the extra fee for the balcony :)"

"Simple place in the city centre, vert close to cruise terminal"
