Santa Cruz de Tenerife is a common place to stay if Tenerife is just a transfer point between your arrival from abroad and your journey to the smaller islands of La Gomera, El Hierro or La Palma, which are not so well connected to Europe.
Prices and when to book a hotel?
Although Santa Cruz is a city of over 200,000 people, there are relatively few classic hotels.
Therefore, we recommend booking at least 2 months before your trip to ensure you have plenty of availability and cheap deals.
Prices for cheaper 2* or 3* hotels with private bathrooms range between 60 eur and 80 eur depending on the season.
Better 4* hotels offer rooms from 100 eur in low season to 350 eur in high season or for last minute bookings.
