Hotel Lancelot

★★★

4.3/5 based on 2058 reviews

Av. de la Mancomunidad, 9, 35500 Arrecife, Las Palmas, España

Verdict

A three-star hotel on the Arrecife seafront that surprises with its cleanliness and staff. The most serious downside: if you go in winter, the rooms can get freezing cold because there's no central heating.

Who it's for

Beach and walking travelersSea access and the promenade are what guests value most, and that part never lets you down.
Lanzarote regularsSeveral guests come back year after year, which says a lot about the value for money when booked as a package.
Guests who prioritize cleanlinessRooms and bathrooms come up as clear strong points in reviews, with mentions of daily cleaning that never misses a beat.
Hassle-free trips with kidsThe hotel welcomes children and has a pool, breakfast buffet, and beach access, which covers the basics for a family without high demands.

Who it's NOT for

Winter travelSeveral guests visiting in cold months complain about very cold rooms with no central heating, and say nobody warned them when they booked.
Gourmets or foodiesDinner draws recurring complaints: lukewarm dishes, difficulty ordering wine by the glass, and inconsistent service in the restaurant.
Late sleepers in ground-floor or sea-view roomsGround-floor rooms can smell of sewage, and sea-view rooms are affected by a beach-cleaning machine running first thing in the morning.

Recurring signals in 48 recent reviews

Location and cleanliness are the two pillars of this hotel according to reviews. Over 20 mentions talk about the seafront position and easy access to the promenade and nearby restaurants. Another 18 mention clean rooms and daily housekeeping with no complaints. Front desk and restaurant staff also come out well in 14 reviews, though a minority mentions cold responses when problems arise or room-change requests are made.

The breakfast buffet is generally well-liked, but has one clear weak spot: the temperature of hot dishes doesn't always hit the mark. Dinner is a different story. Eight reviews mention lukewarm food, difficulty ordering wine by the glass, and inconsistent service. It's not clear whether this is an ongoing issue or limited to certain shifts.

There's one signal that deserves special attention even if it only affects a few guests: the lack of heating in winter. Only four reviews mention it, but the trend is getting worse and the tone is serious. If you're traveling between November and February, ask before booking what options are available to heat the room.

Location

Being on the Arrecife seafront is the main reason people choose this hotel, and reviews back it up as its strongest point.
