Just spend one night in La Quinta Roja. Arrival was quite disappointing: reception staf wasn't exactly overwelcoming, not to say rather hostile. After confirming the reservation we were shown around and brought to our room. As we are residents on the island (my fiancee is Canarian) I suppose we got the worst rooms: just underneath a corridor. As the hotel... more

I have lived in the Canary Islands for 7 years and therefore had a good idea what to expect from a spanish Colonial style property. la Quinta Roja exceeded these expectations. The hotel is very nice indeed, witha beautiful interior patio, sauna and a reading room in the small tower of the hotel with amazing views of garachico. The main... more

We really could not understand some rather average ratings of the hotel. Of course there is some traffic as the hotel is in the middle of the town and yes, you can hear it ! The windows do let some noise in, but this is part of the life in the south. You can hear the church bells, but they... more

Having pre-booked 5 nights at the Taburiente in Santa Cruz, [ a smart, quiet, good value for money hotel with roof pool] we hoped to find something similar on speck in northwest Tenerife. We found it in Garachico at the Hotel La Quinta Roja. The staff were jolly and helpful, the spanish breakfast good quality and the location superb. We... more

We stayed at La Quinta Roja for a week in May of 2006 and had a good time there. Had the hotel been located near a real beach on the side of the island where the sun will actually shine, we would've had a GREAT time. The hotel is very charming, peaceful and quiet. It is located at a charming... more

Can't imagine how the other visitors found this hotel noisy. Its in a quiet, non-touristy town with oodles of charm. We stayed for 3 nights and could hardly have been happier - lovely room, fantastic breakfasts, and plenty of space to chill out. Only niggle was non-working a/c, but in mid-April this didn't really bother us, so we didn't even... more

I was quite disappointed by our stay at Quinta Roja. For such a beautiful hotel it was completely lacking in charm, friendliness and peace and quiet. In our late 20s / early 30s we chose Quinta Roja as we love to get away from our hectic lives and this looked like just the place. We couldn't have been further wrong!... more

Peace, quiet (except for the nearby church bell chiming every half hour 24 hours a day!), exceptional personal service, magnificent old Canarian building with loads of character. Plenty of tranquil sitting areas in lounges and inner patio garden with tinkling fountain. No restaurant, (except for own tavern for drinks and snacks) but several nearby. Self service comprehensive continental breakfast with... more

We had read the TripAdvisor reviews before we left home, so were rather nervous about this hotel in the light of the previous 2 comments. Were they about the same hotel - we began to get slightly hysterical in our attempts to find something we could fault. This is one of the best hotels - if not THE best -... more
