Hotel Marquesa offers value accommodation in the heart of Tenerife's popular Puerto de la Cruz, a four-minute walk to the harbor and famous Plaza del Charco. Striking interiors retain original 1712-built features, and an atrium-style indoor courtyard is majestic. Some of the 144 rooms have dated decor, while 2015-renovated ones have more contemporary decor and AC. They come with private balconies offering gorgeous views, but lack fridges and kettles. Two restaurants with outdoor terraces serve three meals, although live guitar entertainment here is more popular than the food. Panoramic vistas from a rooftop pool and terrace encompass the region's offerings, earmarking the hotel's excellent location as a base for exploring the area. 4Dreams Hotel has less charm, but more competitive rates.

The 4Dreams Hotel is a budget property with a fantastic location in the pedestrian center of Puerto de la Cruz, a short walk from restaurants, bars, and attractions. However, this property is dated throughout and past guests have complained of bed bugs, noise, maintenance issues, and odors. The 67 rooms have flat-screen TVs and mini-fridges, and some have balconies. There's a lovely roof terrace with a small (but cold) pool and excellent views over Puerto. Buffet breakfast is available for a small fee and Wi-Fi is free, but patchy in rooms. It could be worth comparing rates with Hotel Marte, where rooms are dated but reliably clean and there's a full restaurant and bar.

Hotel Monopol offers good value for a crowd of mostly couples in downtown Puerto de la Cruz. On a charming square of its own, the hotel is a quick walk to the famous Plaza del Charco, and within walking distance of a beach. The 92 rooms are dated but homey, outfitted with flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and balconies in some. They're also not air-conditioned, and fees are required for safes and Wi-Fi. Still, features are good for the budget price, and an outdoor pool accompanies three sun terraces, a sauna, whirlpool, and play area. The bars are popular, although the buffet restaurant, less-so. Compare amenities with the next door Marquesa Hotel, where some rooms have AC.

The 314-room Puerto Palace Hotel is a mid-range hotel offering lower rates than most of its competitors due to its location about a 15-minute walk from the city center and beach. Rooms are clean and feature balconies (some with sea views), air-conditioning, mini-fridges, and flat-screen TVs. Most guests spend the day relaxing by the hotel’s multiple pools, but other entertainment options include extensive outdoor sports facilities, a wonderful gym with classes, and evening live music. The main restaurant serves a varied -- if average -- buffet for all three main meals, and there is a small selection of snacks available at the pool bar. Free shuttle service is provided to central Puerto de la Cruz, but those looking to stay closer to the beach may want to compare rates at the H10 Tenerife Playa, which is also livelier.

Valle Mar is an upper-middle-range hotel with a brilliant location in the center of Puerto de la Cruz. The 171 rooms are a bit of a mixed bag since the higher-category rooms have been renovated to include pleasant, modern decor, while the lower-category rooms are still dated. All units include balconies, air-conditioning, and flat-screen TVs. The restaurant serves both buffet-style and a la carte dishes with local and organic ingredients. Buffet breakfasts are included in all room rates, with the option for half- or full-board packages. The rooftop swimming pool has panoramic views of the northern coast of Tenerife with sun loungers, parasols, and a poolside bar. However, the hotel lacks a spa and fitness facilities, and there are limited kid specific features available. H10 Tenerife Playa is a more family-friendly hotel, with similar rates.
