Pension Alcala

A basic but very clean room. The fridge was useful. A small balcony with views up and down the street. The bed was comfortable. A single small drawer for clothes and hanging space. Table and chair for balcony. Spare blanket. Excellent location for local beaches and good fish restaurants. The room was great.

I was positively impressed with the value I received for the price I paid for staying at Pension Alcala! Their charge was modest for a safe place to stay. I intend to stay at Pension Alcala whenever I attend future training in Tenerife.

I stayed almost 3 weeks at Pensión Alcalá. I liked the cleanliness and tranquility of the rooms. There is a small fridge which is very handy. It's very clean and very quiet, the beds are comfortable. The ocean is only a few hundred meters away and in 10 min. by foot you arrive at the very pretty beaches of La Jaquita and the natural swimming pools. There are bars and restaurants close by as well as a shopping street and two supermarkets within a few minutes walk. Parking is very easy, there are plenty of free parking spaces.

Place ******! AVOID it if you can. Had an angry guy get in my face (claimed to be the manager) saying I was playing music all night as I was asleep! 2nd time at a hostel lesson learned to spend extra money even for a hotel/motel! Nothing great about this dump. ..again AVOID!!

Xenophobia & discrimination at Pensión Alcalá. I am a 64-year-old Norwegian citizen of Venezuelan origin who witnessed and experienced xenophobic and discriminatory treatment from the staff at the Pensión Alcalá. The owner and receptionist refused to assist an elderly Italian man, asked for an undue deposit, and made vile comments about Italians in general, forcing the man to leave. I was was denied a late check-out, insulted and verbally abused with demeaning references to Venezuelans, and kicked out before check-out time. I am demanding a refund, compensation, and action and sanctions from ******* to prevent such behaviour. I plan to invoke Article 21 of the EU's Charter of Fundamental Rights.

First the bad. My room had no TV, no phone, one small cupboard in which a fold away table and chair was stored. Electricity cut out twice. Service (ie tidying of room and change of bedding) didn't happen once in my 5 night stay. My room had it's own bathroom but had a musty odour from the drain. No meals available. Now the good. The hotel location is excellent, easy walking to local bars and the town harbour and beach-footpath. WiFi is excellent. My room was clean and I think secure and whilst bedding/towels weren't tidied or changed it means it's sustainable. A bathroom external to my room for common access was very good, no issues. The price is good too, far less than some of the overpriced (in my view) opulent nearby hotels. So in short this is excellent for a short stay if you don't mind 'roughing it a bit' and you want very good value for money, not so good if you want a longer stay as the lack of facilities would become burdensome.

Pension Alcala offers good value for money. The room and bathrooms were exceptionally clean and offered good facilities. The building is in a good location and is well appointed. The check in process was not the best but we checked in on a Sunday, and gloriously, this town treats Sunday as a proper rest day so I’m not scoring the business down on that basis. Lots of stairs so might not be suitable for all.

The room was very basic but the location is good, near the ocean and good restaurant around. There was no problem to find parking place around.
