The only good things about the Rey Carlos are the pool area and size of the rooms or "suites" as they call them . The furnishings and decor have clearly not been changed since it was built over 30 years ago . Everywhere in the hotel is dark. A truly depressing place with surly staff .

Fed up with the often quite poor apartment offering in Playa del Ingles, this proved to be a much better choice. Room 126 proved to be very good for us ... effectively a suite on the first floor with a balcony facing the street, overlooking the pool... an area often noisy but not here as the whole pool area is...

A true 3-star establishment. I didn't have any unrealistic expectations about this place. It consists of 3 buildings. All rooms / apartments facing Tirajana street and the bedrooms are in the back of the apartment with a small window to the hallway. That is actually a great idea so you don't hear any noise from the street at any time.... More

This hotel is in a good spot for going to the beach in the day and going to the yumbo centre at night - both easy walking distance. It's a very strange hotel though. I think it's trying to give an historic rey Carlos feel - like you've stepped into an old castle from centuries ago. However, it just all... More

This place should not be open... it is a throw back to another age. It is all that is bad about Gran Canaria and not a good advert for the island. It is time that accommodation here was upgraded and the King Carlos should be first. It is just dated and the service is awful. The food is not advised... More

This place should have been refurbished years ago... It is like a ´Theme´ hotel for 1970´s Spanish packahe holidays. It is truely awful. The food was so bad that we left it - the sort of food that would not even be served in a school canteen. It was just ´gloup´! My friend got an electric shock from the Spanish... More
