    Very nice hotel in central La Orotava. The room was nice, it had a nice view. People were very friendly, and we even got a introduction in the paintings and the work of the late Senor Otazzo, which was great! We enjoyed our stay very much

    We could find nothing to not like.

    The reception by the host was excellent. The whole property, in its grandness, was cozy and inviting. The room was spacious and amply apportioned. The amenities were exceptional. Staff were very flexible with guest schedules. We loved the solitude of the pool area plus access to self-service coffee beverages. The multiple unique spaces allocated for guests to relax provided a welcome place to reflect on the day’s adventures as well as plan tomorrow’s next ones. As guests, we felt comfortable and luxuriated upon from the Moroccan inspired fabulous bathrooms to the “nothing left to be desired” inclusive breakfast. The host was informative of the unique features of the property as well as the heritage loadstone of this property to the cultural tourism of La Orotava and Tenerife.

    Stunning building, with its beautiful lounges and art works. Very peaceful and relaxing. Room (Lanzarote) a decent size, with large, Moorish, bathroom (shower only) and beautiful views of Mount Tiede, churches and the coast - including sunsets over the sea. Perfect for exploring La Orotava and catching the bus into Puerto de la Cruz. We had no problem parking in the street outside. For views, the room La Palma might even cap our room, Lanzarote. (And the basics: firm, with soft top, bed; good lighting; everything worked; spotlessly clean, lots of clothes storage/hanging space; powerful shower.....)

    It would have been nice to have more choices for breakfast but the continental offerings were generous.

    We loved this hotel; it is spacious and beautiful in architecture and decoration. It is located in a quiet neighbourhood area, but still close to the sites, restaurants and bus station. It is perfectly located between Mount Teide and the black sand beaches of the north coast.

    It would have been nice to have a kettle and mugs in the room to avoid having to go downstairs to make a drink.

    The building is beautiful with lots of interesting artefacts on display. Our room had a lovely view of Mount Teide and the bathroom is absolutely stunning! Breakfast was fantastic. The host is very friendly and gave us a brief history of the building. The hotel is in a good central location. The pool looked nice although we didn't have time to use it, and parking is available right outside the hotel. We really enjoyed our stay here and the hotel felt very homely.

    One small thing I would have liked, is a kettle in our room but you could make yourself tea/coffee at any time by going down to the kitchen area.

    The bedroom and bathroom were spacious, comfortable and super clean. The view from the window was spectacular. The decor of the hotel was arty, quirky and interesting. The bed was really comfortable. The inclusive breakfast was delicious and abundant. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The free parking space directly outside the hotel was a huge advantage.

    The fact that we had to leave this hotel at the end of the holiday

    The Alhambra is a lovely and unique small hotel for couples who are looking for culture, heritage and comfort. The property itself is a listed heritage building within the heritage Old City area of La Orotava. Inside it is beautifully designed and laid out with a unique combination of artwork and sculptures. Gorges, the hotel director, will gladly give you a guided tour of the property and was of great value regarding information and help throughout our trip. He takes special care of all his guests, staying up late for us as our flight was delayed and coming out into the street to help us bring in our luggage. This really is a special hotel, well run and managed, and one in which even as a guest you are placed in a beautiful and unique ambiance. Highly recommended for its quietness, access to good restaurants and traditional Canarias culture.

    • Superior Double or Twin Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    Disadvantage of a large room is that the TV is far away and screen is rather small. Wifi is present but not at the same strength everywhere. The pool is nice but rather small if you want to swim decent laps.

    The Alhambra has the allure of luxury hotel but also the feeling of a bed&breakfast due to the homely atmosphere and the friendly host. Our room was quiet and large and the bathroom also large and comfortable. Parking the car in the street in front succeeded most of the times. Breakfast is good and is available at the desired time. La Orotava is a small town but there is a range of restaurants, and some typical buildings. It is also a good starting point for excursions.
