My son and I booked a 4 day / 3 night holiday to Gran Canaria. It was our first visit to Gran Canaria, a sort of last minute decision, and we were not looking to spend a lot of money.||This Guest House worked out to about £84 for the two of us for a 3 night stay, so we booked it up and to be honest our expectations were not very high for that amount of money.||E'mail communication was good from the owner 'Albert' after our booking. He explained what bus to get from the airport to Santa Catalina which was very helpful to us.||On arrival at 2pm there was no answer at the property so I telephoned 'Albert' and within 10 minutes he had a lady arrive and let us in. Understanding the lady was a bit difficult because of the language barrier but with pointing at things etc., we eventually got there!||The room was fairly small, but clean, with two single beds, a wardrobe, small chests, and a luggage rack. Views of the busy pedestrianized crossroads from our window. ||The Guest House is situated one floor up (narrow staircase up to the property so would not be suitable for people with disabilities) and is above a pub/bar.||No en' suite facilities, one quite dated bathroom which is shared between 3 rooms.||There is a separate room for dining/sitting.||Although termed as a Guest House the owner/s do not reside there, and breakfast is not provided.||There are numerous eateries nearby, and a Spar one minute's walk away, where you can purchase drinks, baguettes &c, at very reasonable prices.||Very centrally situated as it is only five to ten minutes walk from the bus station in one direction, and five to ten minutes walk to the beach in the other direction.||The main problem I encountered was sleeping, and this was due to the busyness of the area. I managed three hours sleep on the first night (which was a Saturday), and five hours sleep on the other two nights, but I am a light sleeper. My son seemed to sleep through everything!||To sum up - I have tried to be as fair as I can with this review. It is what it is. Budget with no frills. Our main aim was sightseeing, which we achieved, so we were only back at the Guest House to relax or to sleep. There was no room service, beds made, or bin emptied during our stay. For the main it suited us fine, it is in a busy location but feel on the whole it did represent excellent value for money. Biggest issue for me was sleeping. Easy to contact owner by telephone if need be. Would we return here again? Most probably.

Everything went very well. Big apartment, great view, swimming pool is on the roof. The owner is very nice, she helped us the whole time. Santa Catalina Park is literally just a few steps and the beach is also so close.

Per chi avesse allergie alla polvere e avesse qualche difficoltá a vivere nella polvere nera rimasta li da anni ovunque lo sconsiglio vivamente per non rischiare la salute e rovinarsi le vacanze, poi se non vi disturba dormire in un vecchio materasso scomodo e di cui si sentono praticamente le molle, essendo vecchio e di seconda mano se non di terza con tanto di bruciature di sigarette e puzza di polvere...alloara questo é il posto che fa per voi.... IL RISPETTO DEL CLIENTE PRIMA DI TUTTO... PS: non É un Hotel perché sarebbe piú igienico e controllato.. soprattutto NEI PARTICOLARI
