Hotel San Roque

Wonderful classic old hotel in the centre of town. Free parking is nearby with a drop-off outside hotel in one way cobbled street. Marvellous wooden interiors with multiple art deco, rennie mackintosh, features, and furniture. Big bedroom with all mod cons. Jacuzzi bath in bedroom. Small bathroom with walk-in shower. The dining area is situated around the small pool, which we didn't feel was ideal. Didn't really want to swim in front of people dining. The food was excellent, as were the staff. Sun loungers on the rooftop. There is one small service lift apparently not available to guests.

Perfect. Just what we needed. The hotel team (reception staff, housekeeping and waiting staff) were all friendly and professional. It felt luxurious but at the same time, calm and relaxed. The breakfasts were great and the evening meals we had there were exceptional. One of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in.

We just stayed for a week in a junior suite to celebrate my husbands 50th birthday and were really pleased with our choice. Our room was the one above the breakfast area looking straight onto pool below. Firstly staff were fantastic they arranged for us to have a special desert selection as part of the meal we booked for our first day there. The standard of food in hotel it top rate we ended up eating there twice it was so good. Reception staff were very helpful with everything we needed. Bar/ wait staff were great at bringing us whatever we ordered to any space in the hotel we wanted to sit including our room. Room was huge even had diffuser on hairdryer! Only negatives it was slightly dark I think due to low energy bulbs and WiFi was a bit slow. It was great to have both a roof terrace and pool area to sit out by roof had better views externally and was a bit warmer but pool was private and secluded and temp in pool was great I went in quite a few times. The location of hotel was very central I think everything was max 5 min walk away. I would totally recommend this hotel to people who like hotels on the smaller side and the restoration of the building is a great job there are so many areas to sit and enjoy it. I would defo ho back.

A calm and peaceful place to stay away from any hustle and bustle. The staff couldn’t be more helpful. We had a number of delicious evening meals. We particularly enjoyed the textures (not at all rubbery) and flavours of the Calamari main course. Some of our favourite meals in the Canaries were eaten here.

I have just returned from a week at this Hotel and was lucky enough to stay in the clocktower suite. Here is my unbiased review. The location is stunning - Garrachico is the old capital and is full of culture as well as seriously top class eateries. You will be spoilt for choice for eating out. The Hotel is very central to the town square and local shops, bars and restaurants. While I was there a lot of the shops and bars were closed as it was technically out of season but there were still plenty that were open. The Hotel itself is very quiet and we were the only English couple there. Apart from the odd "good morning" at breakfast you will barely see your fellow guests so its not a place for socialising. It is incredibly quiet and there is no bar so no "hub" to meet your fellow guests in the evening to chat. The eating area is by the pool with only a few tables and so there is no restaurant as such. We had dinner there on our first evening and the meal was perfect but the Hotel lacks ambiance and atmosphere. The reception areas, although beautiful are mainly empty for most of the time. Our room was spotlessly clean with plenty of hot water etc and the bed was super comfortable with soft, white bed linen. There are no lifts here and so there are a lot of stairs and our room in the clock tower had a spiral staircase that would not be easy for anyone with mobility issues. I felt that it was a bit penny pinching for a Hotel of this calibre and cost to charge for water however you can buy water much cheaper at the local supermarket. We wanted a tour of a local winery and the reception staff went out of their way to find a perfect trip for us that was really enjoyable so they are there to help and are friendly and efficient. Nothing is too much trouble. There is a small sunbathing area however the swimming pool is very small, more like a plunge pool and not big enough to do any serious swimming. Its supposed to be heated but for me it was very cold so I only dipped myself in once. If you are vegetarian you will struggle and vegans will probably starve!!! Nothing is labelled and so its very difficult. As a vegetarian I found there was limited choice both at the Hotel and surrounding eateries and vegans will find it a struggle.

This hotel is incredible - the staff are wonderful, the common areas are lovely, and the location is so central. There are lots of types of relaxing locations - sun deck at top of hotel, loungers by the pool, central sitting area, library reading room. It choice is great for finding the perfect location.
