Is this stay right for you?
A basic, affordable hotel with self-catering facilities, a sun deck, and easy access to water sports arranged through the tour desk.
Best for
- Budget-conscious solo travellers and pairs
- Self-caterers who want kitchenette access
- Guests prioritising beach proximity
- Short stays in Playa de las Americas
Less suited to
- Travellers expecting en-suite bathrooms in every room
- Those wanting on-site dining
- Families needing larger room configurations
Terrace and sun deck
The outdoor area includes a furnished terrace and a sun deck — practical spots for an early coffee or an evening sit-down without leaving the property. Outdoor furniture is provided, and the space is entirely smoke-free.
Room types and layout
Six room categories cover a range of needs: bunk-bed rooms face either the patio, the street, or open onto the inner courtyard, while double rooms reach up to 20 m² and several include a private kitchenette and balcony.
Self-catering setup
A shared kitchen is available to all guests, and select Double Rooms come with their own private kitchenette. Both options let you skip eating out without much planning — useful given the property's proximity to local shops.
Patio and courtyard aspect
Several rooms look onto the inner courtyard, including the Bunk Bed Room with Patio Access, which has a courtyard view. It's a small but distinct difference from the street-facing option for guests sensitive to their immediate outlook.
