The hotel is in a great location in Telde, close to the historic area, and beside a lovely church and square. Telde is near Gran Canaria airport, so this hotel is an ideal location if you are coming from or going to the airport. The hotel is in an old building which is very atmospheric and the restoration work has been done very well. The rooms are comfortable and modern but within an historic building setting. There are lovely polished wooden floors in the bedroom I stayed in. The staff were extremely helpful and assisted me with restaurant choices and booking. Communications were really excellent. There is a very pleasant roof terrace where you can sit outside and enjoy the views and listen to the church bells. All in all I thought this was a fabulous hotel which exceeded my expectations.

If you have a car it’s not so handy but I managed ok. Parking is an issue in a lot of Grand Canaria.

The hotel is situated in a central location in Telde, making it convenient for travelers. Parking is available nearby, just a short 3-minute walk through a pleasant park. The hotel itself is exceptionally beautiful and well-maintained, with modern amenities. One of its highlights is the rooftop swimming pool, offering guests a relaxing retreat with stunning views. Additionally, the surrounding area is bustling with shops and restaurants, providing ample opportunities for exploration and dining. What sets this place apart is its serene ambiance; unlike many touristy areas, it offers a peaceful atmosphere, allowing visitors to truly immerse themselves in the local culture.

We were very lucky to have gotten a reservation at the Hotel sXVI! Because we were traveling around and did not book any rooms beforehand, we got lucky and got one night at this place. We absolutely loved the location, house, room - everything! Because we arrived late we did the self check-in, but it was supereasy. We got a room on the second floor, loved the view towards the street and the church, good place for peoplewathing. The breakfast was convenient and lovely, we got everything we needed. Maybe some (boiled) eggs would have been appreciated by my husband, but I could not miss a thing. The lovely girl helping us at night via phone for checking in and also working on breakfast time, was superfriendly and welcoming. Thank You! The location is the best in Telde - in the core of the centre and great for a small walk before landing in one of the tabernas.

The lady on reception was very helpful and pleasant. The room was good, clean and comfortable. The shower was great. Useful to have a small fridge, small kettle and desk. Very nicely updated historic property. Easy to organise travel to airport, only around 10 minutes by taxi (18 euro, booked from the reception).

Second chair would have been a bonus. Satellite TV, but would have been great to have available an English news channel (e.g. BBC World).

Beautiful hotel in quiet spot next to the cathedral in the old part of Telde. The room was perfect with a lovely comfortable bed. The rooftop and pool were amazing but it was too cold and windy to be up there for long. The staff were so nice and helpful.

Although we loved the hotel and the location, the main part of Telde about 15-20 minutes walk away is not very appealing. There were some restaurants locally but most were closed during our visit.

Lovely spacious clean rooms and the staff were super friendly and helpful and gave good recommendations on nice places to visit. The rooftop area is lovely. Tasty breakfast which was slightly different every day. There is a really good wine bar just around the corner and we would also recommend the restaurant Tasca Flamboyan which is a 1 min walk!

The room we stayed in (ground floor) was a bit dark and airless and right next to where the breakfast was being served so could be a bit noisy in the morning. Other than that, no complaints!

Quiet location in the old part of Telde. The rooftop terrace and pool were lovely. Very generous breakfast. It was good to have a kettle and fridge.

As there were no drawers, cupboards or shelves, you had to live out of your suitcase. There was a hanging rail and a few hangers only. The room was very stylish, but not practical. Installing some coat hooks a towel rail and bedside chests would be so helpful

We loved our stay at Hotel sXVI. The hotel and room are beautifully decorated, with modern styling blending with the original features of this traditional building. The communication from the hotel was great from the moment we booked and the staff at the hotel were friendly and helpful. Telde itself is a lovely quaint town steeped in history and there are plenty of cafe’s, bars and restaurants within walking distance of the hotel. If you are looking for a place to stay in Gran Canaria away from the ‘tourist’ areas, I would highly recommend Hotel sXVI.

Nothing

The hotel is in a wonderful location right in the middle of the old town of San Juan. The room was very comfortable and the rooftop terrace was a real treat. The staff very very friendly & helpful.

Not really about the property, but it took us 45 minutes from arriving at Telde to finding the hotel. We had 3 problems. Google Maps sent us to the wrong place - twice. The whole area of San Juan comprises one-way streets, where it is difficult to stop & ask because you’re blocking the road. And if you miss a turning you end having to leave the area with a 2-3 km drive around to re-smelter it. For those arriving by car, what would be really useful is a local street map showing the local roads & their direction (if one-way), the location of the hotel, and the location of possible places to park.

We loved everything about this little hotel, the original features incorporated into the new designs are stunning..not to mention the fabulous roof terrace and pool! the room was beautiful, comfortable and spotlessly clean. Yurena on reception made us so welcome and all the communication with her was answered promptly, the fabulous breakfast she presented us was a highlight! I can highly recommend staying in the beautiful hotel in this gorgeous town.

Nothing!
