“Good hotel in El Hierro - Nice stay”

Many positive points: - Very well located to visit the west and central part of El Hierro (the most interesting part according to me) - Nice large swimming pool - Large rooms very clean - Staff is friendly and helpful - 1 hour of sauna, turkish bath etc offered Only one weaker point: the food both for breakfast and dinner. We had taken half-pension. Unfortunatelly, a large group of hickers (more than 20 peole) was in the hotel together with us. When they arrive all together in the restaurant, the staff seems completely overwhelmed, despite they were very friendly and trying to do their best. For example: they could not bring bread, fruits, coffie or eggs fast enough for breakfast. And after the group has passed, there was nothing left. Anyway apart from this, the proposed menus a lacking a little bit of variety. However I recommand this hotel, but maybe I would take breakfast only. But note also that there are not many restaurants around : only 1 in fact.

“Beautiful location, remote”

This hotel is relatively recently renovated. Rooms were quite spacious, and comfortable. The view is outstanding, right on the edge of the coast, with beautiful sunrises and sunsets. You can go to sleep with the ocean sounds. Housekeeping a bit slow, but was clean. Beware though as the location is quite remote, the nearest village, while close, is about 1.2 k up a volcanic cone, and it did not have much - tiny grocery closed both times we were near. So you almost have to have a car. There is also construction on the road to the Malpais, closed except weekends - reports till end of 2025.

The staff were also very good and I was very happy with the service I received there Disliked · Sadly the evening meal, although a good price and quite tasty was still a disappointment, not very large, and for someone like me who was cycling around the Island I needed fuel. In asking what the dishes consisted of I think there may have been a misinterpretation due to the language . Although that's my issue as I am in Spain and can't speak Spanish very well

“The location of the hotel is second to none!”

We just spent 5 nights in this hotel and it certainly lived up to our expectations and more. The hotel is a bit away from most places but a short drive in any direction takes you to some stunning scenery ( the hotel also has a spectacular setting). One key thing - you really need a car.

We just spent 5 nights in this hotel and it certainly lived up to our expectations and more. The hotel is a bit away from most places but a short drive in any direction takes you to some stunning scenery ( the hotel also has a spectacular setting). One key thing - you really need a car. The hotel is small , 20 rooms, the staff are very helpful and mostly the food is good. Breakfast has a great spread of fruit (always just right for eating) and then the sort of breads , cereals , cold meats and small cakes and biscuits which you might expect. There are some days with eggs and hot dog type sausages too. Evening meals are not so good; choices are very healthy but sometimes a bit overcooked and wine selection is quite limited. There is a decent sized swimming pool which is great and usually with very few people. Finally, try to reserve early to get a sea view room we did not and regretted it. No matter, the rooms are fairly large and comfortable especially since the hotel is only 3* ( there is a kettle for a late night cuppa).

“Good views”

The hotel has a lovely position by the sea and it also has some fabulous views of the mountains as well. We had a first floor sea view and the room was very clean & comfortable. No safe but you can make tea/coffee in your room. Our evening meal was good, nothing spectacular but we enjoyed the ribs… more

The hotel has a lovely position by the sea and it also has some fabulous views of the mountains as well. We had a first floor sea view and the room was very clean & comfortable. No safe but you can make tea/coffee in your room. Our evening meal was good, nothing spectacular but we enjoyed the ribs, the restaurant lacks atmosphere. Breakfast doesn't start until 8.30am, which is very late especially if you are going out walking. Breakfast had a good buffet selection but nothing hot available. We were disappointed that we were unable to book a massage/treatment in the two days that we were the there as the hotel was not particularly busy. Reception was a bit hit and miss, we had to keep reminding them about our picnics, which were forgotten on both days. The restaurant service is good. We did a nice walk from the hotel to the Arco de la Toscas (a natural stone sea arch) which is about 9km return. There is a bus stop outside the hotel but I think the bus is quite infrequent. It is a hike up to Sabinosa but there is a footpath which will avoid most of the road. The pool has some loungers and a good view of the mountains but we didn't use the pool. There is a bar/restaurant opposite the hotel where we enjoyed an early evening beer.
