Pensión Alcalá

Great family run hotel. Simple rooms but nice to have a fridge and sink in the room. My single room had use of a shared bathroom which was always available and spotless. I was able to keep my bicycle secure.

I stayed here two nights first time on Tenerife so booked a bit blind not knowing the area and I hit a winner. Excellent location in a small village with everything I needed close by - bus stop (I decided not to hire a car for this trip), supermarket at the end of the street, cafes/bars a few doors down, quiet and very clean. There are rock pools near by and a great walk all the way to Los Gigantes which I took my time to do for an entire day. Very clean room and bathroom which can be hit or miss for a pension. Not being able to check-in between 3-6.30pm is I have to say annoying - this is a long window of time and when booking cheap flights it's not possible to align both. My flight arrived early afternoon so by the time I got to the area, I had to wait 2 hours to check in - this is wasted time and part of what I pay for. Seemed the bar wasn't open or serving food or I didn't know about it. This is a shame because the walls and interior hold a lot of history and has a rustic ambience. Be great to hang out in the space over a drink. Nonetheless, I'd stay again for a few nights.
