The location, the size of the room (and height to the ceiling), decoration and style of the hotel, great restaurant, and really nice terrace

Not a dislike but rather a suggestion: a kettle in the room with tea/coffee would be great

A lovley hotel situated in North Canaria, wonderful helpful staff, kept immaculate by the cleaning staff, Galdar is a vibrant community, in a beautiful town, excellent eateries, and I'm glad I made the right choice ! I stayed for three weeks over Christmas, New Year ! Thoroughly enjoyed my stay ! Would recommend 👌

I felt the need for a small cooling fridge in the room, just enough for milk & maybe a couple of cans of juice ! The room has a kettle & and cups, ect, but even in December, milk sours quickly ! Would be in their interests to introduce this! Not everyone wants to leave the room early for the first hot coffee or tea !

The beauty of the location, the hotel and surrounding buildings were superb. Inside the hotel there was a spacious upstairs lounge for quiet reading or conversation. The bedroom and en-suite bathroom were both pleasantly decorated, with appropriate space for luggage, clothes, washbags etc. There were fantastic french-windows, with a small balcony overlooking the plaza and effective wooden shutters that blocked out any light for sleeping. We did not chose to eat breakfast, preferring to indulge in the many delicious nearly bakeries, but we dined twice in the hotel restaurant, where the food and wine were of excellent quality. We also enjoyed the hotel roof bar and sun loungers, which were surprisingly well protected from the wind. The hotel was in easy walking distance from several interesting museums, cafés, shops and restaurants, where one could mingle with the friendly and helpful locals (despite our lack of Spanish!). There were also nearby bus stops from which one could travel very cheaply to several places around Gran Canaria, including beach locations.

The rooftop swimming pool is very small - more a plunge pool. This didn't matter to us but could be made clearer in the pre-booking information. The shower was not very hot on some mornings.

The hotel was in an excellent location with all the amenities of the town within easy walking distance. All the staff were very friendly and exceptionally helpful in spite of the language difficulties. The room was very comfortable and the bathroom was well equipped with an excellent shower with plenty of hot water.

Parking was initially very difficult. This was probably caused by one of the car parks being temporarily closed. The car parks were difficult to locate in the very small streets. It was a pity that the hotel did not supply a town map showing the location of the car parks and the one way system. Perhaps the hotel could reserve some spaces to be paid for by guests?

Great location, which is in the old town and off the central square. Restaurants and cafes within 10 min walk. Lovely roof top bar with very reasonably priced drinks (compered to UK standards)! Memory foam pillows made the beds comfortable. Rooms are well maintained and clean throughout.

Unfortunately our hot water was not working during our stay and could not be fixed, however the hotel were understanding and were able to handle the situation well. Having a receptionist at the desk during working hours would have been most helpful, however the hotel were responsive on whatsapp. The pool is more compact in size than it appears on photos.

This is our 2nd visit. Our first was just over 2 years ago. It’s a nice small hotel - far away from the mass tourism in the south. Nice Spanish town with good restaurants. The breakfast lady was lovely - very efficient.

The glass bathroom door has been tinted to give some privacy (this was not there 2 years ago), but as the bottom & top has still been left transparent when someone uses the toilet at night we all get woken up by the lights. Food choices at breakfast are less than before when the had a small buffet table aswell, so you can’t make toast (the toast the provide on the tray is now cold). One fruit option. They used to provide croissants before but not now.

The hotel was situated next to a church and in front of a square in a pedestrian area with several bars/restaurants around. A beautiful old restored building with classic decor. Breakfast was fabulous. Tea and coffee facilities in the room and complementary bottle of water. The staff were friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay.

The entrance had a high step which was difficult for my elderly mum but she didn't mind it as she loved the hotel.

I don’t think I’ve ever left a score of 10 on booking so the Hotel Emblematico is my first one! It’s a wonderful place; our room was overlooking the square, stylishly decorated with high ceilings, great bathroom, super comfy extra large bed, it was perfect and offers great value for money. Do not miss the restaurant, it’s easily the best food I’ve had on the island; very inventive and delicious. The hotel is set right at the center of town, a great location to be in.

I found the check-in slow and somewhat tedious, particularly because the room was already paid for. Lots of typing on the computer, photocopies of passports, more typing, some printing, then some forms to sign, I joked that it felt like I was buying a house. I was behind a family of 3, when our turn came I was already nearly losing the will to live :-)

Location, building with a character tastefully renovated, excellent for the price. Features and facilities as described like a kettle on demand is available to heat water. The sleeping arrangement was comfortable

The hotel didn't inform us that there would be construction/renovation work in the next room from 8am everyday. We woke up to loud machinery nextdoor every morning. That wasn't so pleasant. I wish they had just informed us beforehand, so we would've known what to expect.

Hotel has exceptional location in the heart of the small city of Gáldar, situated right beside the church and a quaint plaza where the city hosted its Carnival celebration over the weekend.

Despite the significant event taking place in the city, no one at the hotel informed us about what to expect or the activities happening over the weekend. Certain rooms are really close to the restaurant dining and breakfast area.
