ガラホテル(Gara Hotel)

This hotel has a huge place in my heart. It’s a simple but beautiful Canarian building, with lovely wooden features and beautiful tiled floors. It’s very simple - we stayed in room 10 with a sea view. Very basic but extremely clean and tidy. The best thing was the shared terrace overlooking the lagoons and the sea. I don’t remember staying anywhere better for watching the ocean. Miguel and his team were very kind. Not luxury but simple beauty. Thank you. With luck on my health we may be back.

Boutique hotel. Lovely rooms. Daily cleaning and towel changes. It has a super roof terrace overlooking the sea. The owner and staff were very helpful. Stayed here for 6 nights. It's a small hotel. I think 14 rooms but owner managed. Breakfast more than adequate.

The hotel was charming and comfortable, however, there were queues for breakfast as the number of tables available does not match the number of rooms. Kettle provided with cups etc but when we asked for tea & coffee we were told to buy our own at the supermarket. Why provide the means to make hot drinks but not the ingredients ? The daily bedside chocolate treat somehow was poor compensation. Otherwise an enjoyable stay.

Very nice central hotel in the city. Near restaurangs and to Wall around in village. Very kindly staff at reception.

A warm and welcoming reception from the gentleman on arrival who gave us all the information we needed about the charming yet typically small Spanish hotel which really was full of charm. On the ground floor through the doors was the courtyard where Continental breakfast was served each morning and where you could order Tapas and drinks from 11am until 10pm, very nice and helpful lady. On the first floor you can sit outside and leisurely watch the natural pools directly in front of the hotel, a great location if you are planning to go and enjoy the pools as they have a door that exits across from them. Our room was perfect, light and bright and we had no issues, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan to go back again early in the new year.

We stayed for a week in January. This is a lovely boutique hotel in a great location right by the sea facing the rocks and swimming pools. The rooms are set around an internal courtyard on 2 levels. The rooms on the ground floor do not have a window to the outside only to the courtyard and those nearer to the cafeteria are a bit dark I think. Room 4 is right by the breakfast area. This may be reflected in the price I don't know. Upstairs the toom are other along the street side of the hotel and have windows facing there. Others are on the gallery facing the courtyard and are light and airy. Undoubtedly the best rooms are rooms 10 and 11 which also have windows facing towards the see and are a little larger. They are slightly more expensive. The rooms are traditional in style and very clean and comfortable. However there are a couple of things which could be improved. As others have said, there is tea/coffee making facilities in the rooms plus fridge, but no tea/coffee is supplied! If you don't want to buy local then bring your own! However here was a fruit basket and small bottles of champagne on arrival which was a nice touch. The other thing was. I've never stayed in a hotel where the cleaner removes all your items from where you have placed them to your satisfaction in the bathroom and puts them up on a high shelf every day. Every day we put them back and every day they were moved again!! Cleaning staff should not be moving guests personal items around. At least put them back where they were!! A few other items were moved about as well. Also the external window to the gallery was left open every day, presumable to 'air' the room. However this somewhat defeats the object of having a key!!! There is a safe in the room but still. Breakfast was perfectly acceptable with a continental choice, pastries and a small choice of cooked items, eggs etc. If you're looking for massive breakfast buffet as in multinational hotels then you'll be disappointed but I thought it was fine. There are lovely terraces where you can sit and relax whilst watching the sea or sit in the relaxing courtyard. Also a cosy residents lounge where you might need to sit as wifi connection is a bit flaky in the rooms (or it was in ours.) Sonja the host is extremely welcoming and friendly and speaks good English and also German. She is very helpful with everything and can book tours/taxis etc etc. All in all a very pleasant stay

Perfect situation by the sea with a lovely terrace to sit and watch the waves in the amazing lava pools. Close to all the amenities in the town, restaurants, several shops. Our room (11) had double aspect windows with fantastic sea views. Very comfortable, we slept well. Breakfast was good, nice coffee and very fresh bread. The cafeteria served snacks and drinks until 10, very useful. The owners are friendly and helpful. We had a lovely stay at this hotel and hope to return.

Lovely situation with great sea views. Friendly owners, clean room and good breakfast.

Garahotel hotel is a very friendly hotel with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The two roof terraces are fantastic for reading, sunbathing or having sun/downers overlooking the rock pools and ever-changing sea beyond. The hotel has a great location with many super cafes and restaurants nearby. The rooms are simply furnished and comfortable and the buffet breakfast sets you up well for a day of exploring the beautiful north coast of Tenerife.
