Hotel near Santa Cruz bus station?

[Belinda]

Hi all,
Can anyone suggest a place to stay for one night somewhere fairly close to the main bus station in Santa Cruz? I've got a couple of family members who will be flying into the north airport and flying out from the south the next morning, so just looking for a stopover but preferably with a place to eat nearby for the evening.
Thanks!

Just off the top of my head, the hotel closest to the bus station in Santa Cruz.....

10 mins walk probably. No idea of how it rates though.

I stayed here a few weeks ago for 1 night http://www.hoteles-silken.com/en/hotels/atlantida-santa-cruz/ it is about 10 mins walk away from the bus station. It's mainly a business hotel but the room was comfortable and not too expensive. It has got a glass lift on the outside so not very good for people afraid of heights!

Many thanks for that and also for taking the trouble to give the link. I've had a look at and if nothing else pops up, I'll probably book that for them. But if anyone else has any info, that'd be appreciated.

There are a few 2/3 star hotels , small, around Plaza Espana - 1 tram stop away from bus station that would suit eg Pelinor, Oceana , Atlantico .

Many thanks for that Junglejim, The cheaper options might be good!
Not sure about the tram as I've never used it myself but presumably a taxi, bearing in mind they'll have a small case (carry on) might not be too expensive.
I was thinking if we did book the Silkens, they could get a taxi there and then in the morning walk back to the bus station.
I don't mind wandering around to find things myself, especially as I am a devotee of rucksacks, but not sure I can send other people to do the same, if you know what I mean!

The tram is directly outside the Bus station 2 minute ride ,and after 1st stop a 2 minute walk to Plaza Espana the taxi will only take you to edge of Plaza Espana as it is pedestrianised on Castillo .

Many thanks for these suggestions and help, that's really brilliant. I'm checking them out now and should be able to make a decision from that. Your help is much appreciated!

Why don't you rent a car?

Hi Adseo,
It's just a flying stopover, arriving at the north airport around 17.00/18.00 hrs and leaving early next day for a 12.00 flight in the south. But thanks for the thought.

Belinda did you get your hotel sorted out:)

[Belinda]

Hi there,
Yes I did, many thanks for asking.
I had a good look at the various options suggested but in the end, the family decided to take the direct express bus from the north airport to the south and stay the night on Golf del Sur. That way, they got to have an extra hour sleep the next morning and not have to worry about any delays that there might be.
But the info will definitely come in very handy for if I spend the night in the north when I'm between airports. I don't know Santa Cruz at all (apart from El Cortes Ingles) and I'd like a good explore.
Thanks all for your help.
