Sercotel Príncipe Paz Hotel

good breakfast, wide variety and good service great location good free wifi

bed was too hard, not very comfortable noisy upstairs

Centrally located, less than 10 min walk to seafront, 5 mins to tram stop, 15 mins to main bus station. We had a very quiet room on the 7'th floor, with a view of the sea, overlooking a pedestrianised square and small park, but street noise did not disturb us. There is a good selection of restaurants in a couple of small side streets less than 5 mins walk from the hotel. Otherwise, for it's size, Santa Cruz does not offer many 'proper' restaurants, although there are many cafe/bar places which advertise "tapas", snacks and pizza. Comfortable dining room and a fair selection of items for the breakfast buffet. Free wifi in public areas and an internet-connected PC are available for hotel guests - which was useful. [Spanish keyboard!]

We had to pay 2.50 euro/day to rent a key for the room safe, 17.50 for our stay. This facility should be included in the room rate, for a hotel of this class - or a nominal refundable deposit charged. The only English-language TV available in the room was CNN. We would have liked one BBC news channel (BBC World).

Excellent location of the hotel, the breakfast was very complete and facilities

The noise from the street
