Hotel Las Palmas Urban Center

“Great stay”

Great central hotel, more of a studio type room with kitchen, washing machine, comfortable bed and seating area, counter staff really helpful and friendly. It is above a good restaurant/bar and in a busy commercial area so expect some noise from traffic and the streets.

Central Las Palmas is a compact area that offers a lot of variety. The easiest access is by Global (blue buses) that come to Las Palmas from all over the Island. These buses are safe, clean and reliable. Driving the Island ring road is not difficult but taking the bus allows everybody to watch the scenery and avoids the parking in Las Palmas, which can be challenging. Trips are inexpensive and you pay when you get on the bus. The Las Palmas bus terminal is very close to the old town. Go to a tourist info centre before you come as they have very good maps and descriptions in English, German and Spanish. Things worth seeing include: the Mercado where you can buy fresh fruit, veg, fish, herbs, cheese etc; the Santa Ana Cathedral where you can also see its art and statuary collection; the Museo Canaria in Vagueta, which has a wonderful collection of materials from the pre Spanish era; the Triana shopping district which combines shopping with outdoor cafes and is framed by beautifully restored colonial architecure. Vagueta also provides plenty of outdoor dining and numerous restored historical buildings. None of these areas require a great deal of walking and all are well maintained and without any safety concerns.
