Not so large hotel in Santa Cruz centrally located very close to the Nuestra Senora de Africa market. The room was rather small having built-in wardrobe, TV, fancy colonial style bed and bathroom with shower and bidet. No fridge. There is a tiny balcony, which gives only space only for standing, but offers quite a good view over the city. The room lacked electrical sockets. I had to unplug lamp next to the bed to get a free one for phone charging. There are rooms, which has window to the street, which is rather busy and noisy, but I had no problem as I sleep with earplugs. Other side of hotel oversees yards and should be calm. There is 24 hours reception, so late arrival is possible. The day staff speaks very good English, while night-shift made me practice my basic Spanish. The hotel has free WiFi, but only on second floor, where is common area with sofa, table and chairs. 700 meters to the Santa Cruz main bus station. 550 m to Mercadona, there is SuperDino in Nuestra Senora de Africa market in 200m. Lidl and Carrefour in 1.1 km. There is only one beach Playa ***** in Santa Cruz in 1.7 km from the hotel behind a lido Parque Marítimo César Manrique. But swimming is now allowed due to bad quality of water. So the options are the lido with 5€ entrance or take a bus 910 or drive to a beautiful beach of Playa de Las Teresitas. It takes about 40 minutes by bus to reach La Laguna, historical capital of Tenerife.
