About

Parador de Las Cañadas del Teide is the hotel you choose for the national-park setting first. It sits high in Las Cañadas, close to Mount Teide viewpoints, walking routes and dark-sky evenings, so it is most useful when you want sunrise, stars or early access before the day-trip traffic arrives.

The trade-off is that the building and restaurant experience can feel old-fashioned. Guests praise the location, breakfast, staff, parking and the ability to walk straight into volcanic scenery; weaker comments mention tired rooms, limited restaurant choice and uneven dinner service. Book it for the Teide landscape, not for a glossy resort mood.

Guest review summary

Commonly mentioned by visitors.

The Teide location is the main reason to book: guests mention sunrise, walks, stargazing and volcanic scenery right outside.

Breakfast, parking and staff receive useful praise, especially from travellers using the hotel as a mountain base.

The setting makes early or late Teide moments much easier than driving up from the coast.

The hotel feels older in places, and some rooms/facilities do not read as modern luxury.

Restaurant feedback is mixed: breakfast performs better than some dinner comments.

Parking exists but can be limited at busy times, so do not arrive expecting unlimited easy spaces.

Staff delightful from arrival to departure. Restaurant provides a superb breakfast and an excellent dinner with a wide and interesting menu. Wines well chosen and good value. Setting awesome. There is a range of walks on the doorstep. Location central so you can easily reach anywhere on the island. Even our standard room had a marble bathroom with twin sinks.

Visited 30th January 2026.

First and most important, Beautiful located.

Parking spots are available but limited.

Public buses available during the day. We travelled from La Christiano to the hotel. And went to La laguna around 15:00ish.

Dinner and breakfast can be arranged at the Hotel’s in-house restaurant.

Next to the hotel, is a small museum (can be entered free of cost).

Indoor pool and gym can be used (towels will be provided).

Staff handling the dinner service was amazing. However, staff managing the breakfast service the next morning can try to be little bit more pleasant and cheerful.

Room was good, but after one flush - water did not stop flowing so had to ask for service and it got fixed quickly.

Overall, a nice stay.

The hotel is a bit old but overall very nice. The best part is definitely the location — right next to Mount Teide! There’s a pool and a sauna (though it didn’t get very hot). The water pressure in the shower was great, and it was magical to see the stars directly from the parking lot. The hotel also has private parking, which was super convenient since there are lots of tourists visiting Roques de García. I wouldn’t recommend the restaurant, so we chose to eat in Vilaflor instead. Overall, a lovely stay mainly for the amazing location.

The hotel is perfectly located to enjoy the stunning beauty of Mount Teide, especially early in the morning before the crowds arrive. The staff were friendly and professional, and the room was comfortable and clean.

However, the restaurant was disappointing. the food lacked flavor, and there were very limited options for those who don’t eat meat. The path leading to the pool also felt unsafe and could use better maintenance.

Access to the hotel can be tricky, as many cars park along the narrow road, making it difficult for two-way traffic and complicating entry and exit from the property.

Overall, this is a fantastic place to stay if you want to wake up in the heart of the Teide National Park, but there’s definitely room for improvement when it comes to dining, facilities, and access. A pity the cable car was closed during our stay, preventing us from reaching the summit.

During February 2026, I spent a few days in room 103 of the Parador de Las Cañada del Teide hotel in Tenerife. The restaurant menu was okay, the restaurant service was occasionally a comedy show of fumbling with the serving cart and items falling off an overflowing cart. The handsome cyclists from professional cycling teams were entertaining—great eye candy. But the room was a bit of a disaster. The electrical outlet in the bathroom was covered by a radiator and therefore unusable, the bathroom blind kept sticking to the window, the window handle opened the wrong way, the toilet paper became a wet, sticky mess when using the shower, three screws protruded above a floor panel in the bathroom posing a serious foot injury hazard, the wardrobe was still too small for one person even though it was a double room, the view from the window was a roof with technical installations and the shower mixer worked backwards: opening the tap required moving the handle backward, and the hot and cold water positions were reversed. The air conditioning wasn't working, resulting in high temperatures both day and night. The reception staff responded to this complaint by telling to open the window to coo

Q&A (3)

Who is Parador de Las Cañadas del Teide best for?

Travellers who want to sleep inside the Teide highlands for sunrise, stargazing, walking routes or an early start before day visitors arrive.

Is it a luxury resort?

No. It is better treated as a remote mountain hotel with a remarkable setting than as a glossy resort-style stay.

What should I know about dining?

The hotel has its own restaurant, but guest feedback on dinner is mixed and nearby alternatives are limited, so check the current menu and book with realistic expectations.
