Hotel Rural El Mondalón

This is a very nice place to stay for people that are looking forward to see more from the rural side of Gran Canaria. We enjoyed the stay. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the daily room service was very good! The hotel staff, if we had the chance to meet them, was very friendly and nice. The pool area is very nice and clean. The breakfast was indeed very good, also having some warm egg-variation, veggies and e.g. bacon. Sitting outside during breakfast and enjoing the first rays of the sun, was a perfect day-starter. We had a rental car and do recommend to have one, e.g. to get out for dinner or to your holiday spots around the island. There is also a restaurant directly attachted to the hotel, which offers decent food for good prices, however we were suprised how empty it was on the two evenings we went there.

Actually we have never seen someone being in the reception and the check-in was done by a friendly staff member, that however seemed to just stop by coincidence. So the introduction in the hotel facilities was rather short, however still functional and the guy was very friendly. For check-out we dropped the key at breakfast area, since reception again was emtpy. Altough the pool area is very clean and nice, the water in the pool is toooo cold, a display showed 21 degress water temp. We just had a quick swim :)

Excellent and very roomy bedroom with separate outside seating area to the rear. Lovely breakfast room with prefectly adequate breakfast, overseen by the extremely helpful Anna. Excellent pool.

Great disappointmnet was that the restaurant was permanenty closed during our visit and there was no bar available either. Thus we had to either drive or take a taxi to a restaurant nearby or else have a picnic in our room. Neither desirable nor expected!

The environment is very pleasant, with a nice view of the nearby mountain. The breakfast was very good. The terrace was a plus, well oriented, especially during the hot evening. The swimming pool was very appreciated.

Isolation between rooms is far from perfect. The restaurant is closed, you'll have to take car to find one.

It looked like separate houses, with your own terras, ..., and a very nice swimming pool. The hotel is in a rural environment, so you're far from busy (holiday) world.

The breakfast starts at 8:00. Maybe things could be arranged earlier (we didn't try), but especially for business travel, this was a bit late. Maybe our "problem", but it's difficult to communicate if you don't know Spanish.

Very friendly staff and an excellent breakfast with plenty of choice of cold meats, cheeses, fruit, cereals, bread & pastries. Also cooked eggs & veg/beans. A nice tranquil location.

Needing a key card to pass through every door & gate on site was a minor irritation, otherwise a nice relaxing stay.

The location is awesome and accommodation was amazing! What I do appreciate the most is the super willing and always nice staff - everyone was super-nice!!!

I wouldn’t say I disliked some stuff. The only thing is that I would not say that the hotel is for families with little kids - we were there with out 2y old and there is not much to do there with kids. On the other hand we planned to do some hikes around and for that, the location is great - the hotel even have a private road to the near caldera!

We liked the area and coziness of the room. Also, we really enjoyed the food of the restaurant near it! The service was always very kind and exceptional.

Unfortunately because of the room we were given, we could hear a lot the noise and vibrations from people walking upstairs. I know it is difficult and normal in such a rural hotel, but id'd be also good to isolate rooms better from outside, because we saw one cockroach inside the room!

I don't know if it was because we were alone in the hotel, or in general, but the guy who made us breakfast was so kind and nice, and breakfast was super nice and generous. even though it wasn't special in its ingredient, we loved it. we also loved the atmosphere and the view, and the relaxed atmosphere in the place.

the reception wasn't really available. when we wanted to do check-out, we could find anybody and also I called the phone number on the door, but nobody answered, for quite a few minutes. we also were not sure if the Bodegon was available to us or not. was there a wine bar we could have enjoyed? I'm not sure.

Breakfast was OK, although not fantastic. We used the restaurant on the day we arrived. We were not impressed, so we ate out on the other evenings.

The pool facilities were getting a little dated. Difficult to recommend the property if you did not have a car.

very quiet place in a vinyard, perfect for visiting Las Palmers and the North of the island, fine breakfast served in the "bodega" Very nice bathroom and enough parking space for cars.

the beds are not good for your back! should be changed! Pool was too cold.
