Pensión Casablanca

Santa Cruz de Tenerife


In a great location on a leafy pedestrian street, this building dates from 1909. The rooms are brightly painted with decorative finishes and floral trim. They are small but good value; the only drawback is that there are only three communal bathrooms for 14 rooms, which can mean crossed legs or much hopping on the spot in the corridor.

The place is booked up in the peak season, and service could be friendlier.
