Hotel Tanausu
Five minutes from the bus station, close to TEA
About this hotel
Hotel Tanausu sits in central Santa Cruz de Tenerife, close to the city's main shopping streets, with rooms offering free internet access, a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom. Staff at the 24-hour reception can advise on what to see and do in Tenerife, and a laundry service and car hire from reception round out the practical offering. Santa Cruz's Espacio de las Artes Museum sits just 400 metres from the hotel, and the bus station is around five minutes' walk, useful for reaching the waterfront corridor toward Parque Marítimo César Manrique without needing a taxi every day. Tenerife North Airport is thirteen kilometres away, keeping transfers manageable for a family arriving by air.

Our take
Hotel Tanausu suits a family that wants to rely on public transport rather than taxis for the daily trip to the pools, with the bus station a five-minute walk away. Rooms are simple rather than spacious, so pack light if travelling with a lot of pool gear, and expect a no-frills standard of finish throughout.
- ✓Ask reception for the current bus route toward the waterfront pools, since services change more often than taxi routes do.
- ✓Use the on-site laundry service for pool towels if staying more than a few nights during a family trip.
- ✓Book car hire from reception if planning day trips further into Tenerife beyond the central Santa Cruz area.

Why guests love itWe relied on the bus station just five minutes away for our daily trip to the pools, which kept costs down compared with a taxi every morning with two children in tow. The laundry service handled our pile of damp towels better than we could have managed ourselves in a smaller room, and reception's local tips saved us from a couple of wrong turns early in the trip.
