Lock in a great price for Hotel Santa Catalina – rated 8 by recent guests!

to get started.

The breakfast choices and dining area was lovely to walk into in the morning. Staff were attentive particularly to guests that needed extra support or like me a solo guest. It would be nice if the coffee in the bar area was free to guests during the morning as an extension to breakfast.

Barbara, Spain

Stylish old hotel in a reasonable location. Nice pool, marred by herdish, loud fellow guests and having to leave the hotel to get there?! Lovely public park behind. Some nice staff, technician who fixed our room safe (follow safe instructions carefully!), bar staff and a few others.

Árpád, Hungary

We loved the beautiful building and old-world feel, it was like going back in time, I felt like we were in an Agatha Christie novel! Check-in was friendly and efficient. We enjoyed the complimentary drinks in the room and in the bar. A major Spanish football team was staying there on the same night as us which added a buzzy atmosphere, I suspect it might have been a bit quieter otherwise. We had a very nice meal in the restaurant and the breakfast buffet was fantastic.

Lucy, United Kingdom

Very beautiful hotel. Nice big room. Very big balcony. I stayed in 221 and was a great room, all what you need. Breakfast was very nice with big selection of food.

Kamil, United Kingdom

Lovely hotel with the right level of grand meets charm and comfort. Very clean and friendly staff. Lobby, bar and breakfast room in all very nicely decorated. Rooms were a little bit small when you have a crib in there but otherwise all in all we had a great time.

Sofie, United Kingdom

There is a good choice of breakfast, both hot and cold, which is taken in wonderful surroundings. Several days breakfast was eaten accompanied to the sounds of a guitar, clarinet etc.

It was chilly while we were there and the heating system doesn't work very well. This is not a typical problem in the Canary Islands. 8-) It is a large, mostly wood, building so it requires a lot of (expensive) maintenance. They could pay a bit more attention to that.
This is a lovely old hotel, inaugurated in 1890. The increasing necessity to create a comfortable resting place for those on their way to Africa resulted in the construction of this five-star emblematic hotel by and English company. It's comfortably away from the tourist craziness of central Las Palmas and an easy walk to Veguita, the old town, with it's lovely older buildings and monuments..some date back to the time of Columbus.

“Relaxing holiday”
- • Leisure trip

The hotel doesn't give you an iron and ironing services have to be paid for, which I found a little odd and expensive. To access the gym and the swimming pool you have to pay a fee, on the day you want to access it, which was off putting giving that in 5 stars hotels gym and swimming pool are always included in the price. If you stay on the left wing of the hotel ( facing the swimming pool), it can be noisy during the day as there are two primary schools next to it.
The overall interior of the hotel and the outside area are very nice, relaxing and the traditional design adds extra charm to the place. Have had an upper storey room, which means it was quieter, with beautiful views over the palms and the ocean. It is great value for money to add the breakfast, which gives you excellent choice of fresh fruits, cold and hot food in the morning, some of this is traditional Spanish food that is very well presented and cooked. Coffee is excellent, a good variety of Spanish cakes and even champagne can be served at breakfast! I very much enjoyed planning the day while having lovely breakfast each day, before heading off for a long day out visiting this lovely island. The room and the balcony had great traditional design, well maintained and very comfortable bed. Sometimes in the evenings, I will find small chocolate left on pillow by the evening room service, which was so attentive and nice! I do recommend the spa centre massages, a good selection of sensory ones like bamboo extract or chocolate oil massages, great for your skin after a day in the sun.

“A very pleasant hotel for an early summer break.”
- • Leisure trip

The out door pool did not open until 9 and I wanted an early pool swim before breakfast as this is a usual routine when on holiday. I had not expected to be asked to pay for the use of the indoor pool as I had considered it part of the hotel facilities and not as the receptionist explained to me that the indoor pool was only available as part of a spa package. There was no BBC News channel on the TV English speaking choice list.
The breakfast choices and dining area was lovely to walk into in the morning. Staff were attentive particularly to guests that needed extra support or like me a solo guest. It would be nice if the coffee in the bar area was free to guests during the morning as an extension to breakfast.

Looking a bit tired and not five star, unless criteria for five star is expensive food and drinks and some stand-offish staff? Windy balcony and "no food in rooms" policy meant we spent less time in the hotel than usual.

Faded splendour...carpet in reception threadbare. Staff efficient but not friendly. Breakfast awful, beds uncomfortable and got ripped off by cash machine in hall, not the hotels fault but annoying. Waiter in the bar tried to rip us off on the gin twice!! by bringing a much more expensive one than we had asked for, when questioned said he did not know the prices hmmm!! Bedroom was over something that had a constant loud hum all night. to tired to complain so perhaps they would have moved us.
the highlight was the spa the staff were fantastic and the facilities excellent.

On a cold windy night in March, despite asking wait staff, the door from terrace into the restaurant remained open, ( staff convenience I suspect). Likewise the door to bar remained open, freezing experience. One receptionist left to check in many guests. Chef burnt my Lamb! Bar staff grumpy

1st. Welcome drinks- a coke is not a jus for them but is the same price that a bottle of water. In a 5strar with the rate that we paid is stupid to offer a welcome drink limited jus and watter... 2nd. Spa very expensive. 3rd. I had a problem at check in time because i've booked lunch and dinner included and your receptionist told me that I need to contact booking.com because it wasn't included for them. i think in a 5star this is your job and not mine. However i solved my problem and she didnt answer anything. So the only situation that is unaceptable for a 5 star.
Breakfast was so delicious. All breakfast team make a good job. Lunch and dinner have very quality and very choise during the lunch. Thanks Mrs. Lara for your advice. Pool included. Good Location. We loved it.
