Expert review of Hotel Escuela
The perfect city centre base for foodies, shoppers and football fans.
This Canary Islands government-owned teaching hotel has a reputation for fine cuisine and good value for money. It is perfectly located for anyone wanting to watch the local Tenerife football team play at home, go to a theatre performance at the Tenerife Auditorio or enjoy the capital’s shopping and nightlife.
Location:
in the city centre, opposite the CD Tenerife football stadium, in walking distance of the Tenerife Auditorio, El Corte Inglés store, museums, TEA art gallery, the African market and trendy Noria district.
Bedrooms:
Bedrooms are a good size for a city centre hotel, and have a contemporary, minimalist design in predominantly cream decor with aubergine or chocolate fabrics and furnishings. There are flat-screen TVs and Internet connection. Effective double glazing makes for silent nights but summer can be stifling.
