We stayed in Hotel Carel for one night at the beginning and one night at the end of our trip to the Canary Islands. Our first night was in a very small, dark room on the main road. The noise of the road and the noise of the aircraft meant we got very little sleep. The second night was much... More

El Medano is a small seaside town literally at the end of the runway of Tenerife South Airport. This is not necessarily a bad thing, as when you get used to noise of departing aircraft, it is not a bad place for the independent traveller to visit. The town has some tourist trappings but is essentially a 'local' town.There are... More

Stayed one night in Hostal Carel, €45 for room with Double bed, Bathroom, TV and balcony. The staff were friendly and accommodating, let us have a late check out so we could spend the day at the beach before flying out early evening and they booked us a cab. Can't go better than all that for €45!

I visited Hotel Carel back in december and I just loved it. Nice, clean, central and the staff is very kind. The small pub in the hotel is very nice as well... I loved it so much that I am going back in march for 3 days..

Don´t expect the Ritz when you pay €44 for a double room with en-suite bathroom! However, this hotel is fine for those of you with standard expectations. Our room on the third floor had a refrigerator, a balcony with a partial sea view, and was perfectly adequate for our needs. It was spacious and clean and the beds were comfortable.... More

We stayed here for one night (actually about 10 hours) at the end of our touring holiday as we had an early morning 7am flight. We were surprised at how near the hotel is to the sea- only a couple of minutes walk. The staff on reception were extremely helpful. They emailed the day before to check our arrival time... More

Good Hostal close to the beach. Very nice people. Sleeping was quiet and the wind was great. It is a Hostal not a hotel so do not expect more than a Hostal offers

We were in Tenerife for four days, and chose El Medano for being a small town, away from the tourist packed resorts, but with easy acess to excellent beaches and the rest of the island, including the Teide. Hotel Carel is a small, family-run hotel, that I would fully recommend. The staff is very friendly and helpful, the room that... More

We spent two nights at Hotel Carel. We took an evening flight to Tenerife and landed at 1am, so we had a very late arrival at the hotel. The receptionnist was extremely friendly and upgraded us to one of the apartments at the top of the hotel, with a nice terrace and a view on the Teide (weather permitting) and... More
