Galdar hotel guide. IFA Hotels hotel in Galdar, Gran Canaria

"If you are an Elon Musk wanabee (with no budget) and like living in the office this is perfect.. I have never stayed in such a soleless room. Huge, with plenty of space for a nice sofa... but no lets keep the office theme going and have two uncomfortable "reception" type chairs... not even bucket chairs. How someone could make so little of such huge space is amazing. Great coffee machine, fridge, wifi and bathroom. If you want to sleep then you booked the wrong place before 2am or after 6am as it is on the motorway.... Lovely rooftop bar.... when it is open... which it is not all nights and when it is they run out of the limited items they sell!!! The extra paid for the delux office (sorry room) with "sea view" turns out to be office overlooking motorway and container port. I mean there is water .... But it is ok you can enjoy the immediate surroundings of derelict land and abandoned construction sites in a tatty dirty unloved area of the City. Would I stay again... amazingly not if you said it was free. Put 12 bunks in each room at make it a back packers."

"Buffet evening meal was disappointing There is no actual bar open until 10pm for 45 minutes Lovely apartment Lovely pool Will definitely return"

"Not a 5 star!! Don’t be fooled by the name, it’s like a good 3 star, had I of booked a 3 star I would have been impressed, I’m not just a Karen but when I book something I feel it should be deserving of the star rating, bedrooms are defiantly not upto the cleanliness standard, one tiny little shower gel provided, which isn’t replenished, told to put towels on the floor to be changed, came back to find our old dirty towels hung back up, reception don’t answer the phone, had to go down twice and finally got fresh towels 45 mins after which made us late to our reservation. No waiter service around the pool, queue up at one till that takes forever just to get a drink. You have to go elsewhere for takeaway food in yet another queue as you’re unable to get a drink at the same place! Pool towels can only be changed in 2 hour slots one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Manager never gets back to you. Listen if your used to a 3 star this hotel is fab but if your used to a 5 star save your money!"

"Coffee machine in room but NO cups, spoons, coffee, tea etc ... when asked at reception was told ... buy your own .... REALLY... very poor ... "

"Very basic accommodation with plug sockets hanging out of the wall definitely needs some TLC but a lovely stay for the money "

"Be careful to stay here with the renovation works next door, we got woke up well before 8am"

"Lovely hotel and the best all inclusive we have stayed in out of the whole of Spain and Canary Islands"

"Super Lage mit Blick auf den schönsten Strand im Süden. Shuttlebus zum Strand ist einmal die Stunde kostenfrei am Start. Man sollte wissen das es am Strand weder Liegen noch schattenspendende Schirme auf Hotelkosten gibt. Aber alles ist fair bezahlbar. Auch Taxifahrten vergleichsweise günstig. Die Zimmer sind etwas abgewohnt und könnten eine Renovierung gebrauchen. Sonst insgesamt die erwartet gute Riu Qualität. Personal hervorragend und sehr kinderfreundlich. "

"Good location. Lovely staff and fantastic food! Big rooms and spotless"
