Casa de Hilario

Blijf herhalen voor diegenen die de verbinding willen verbreken in een prachtige stad ...

Meer een no-nonsense B&B dan een hotel. De 10 kamers of suites zijn deels zeer mooi ontworpen, het zwembad is vrij klein. Het grootste probleem is het gebrek aan service. Alles is een beetje verwaarloosd omdat alleen het meest noodzakelijke wordt gedaan, vooral qua netheid.Het ontbijt is ok en heeft eigenlijk alles er (brood, kaas, worst, eieren, fruit, groenten, sap), maar net zoals alles hier alleen in een basisconfiguratie. De kamers hebben geen servies, waterkoker of koelkast. Service alleen 's ochtends ter plaatse. Wat ontbreekt is dat bepaalde extra's dat men voor deze prijzen mag verwachten.

Het Casa de Hilario is een klein, dromerig, goed onderhouden hotel in de stijl van een finca. Het Hilario ligt aan de rand van Yaiza en heeft goede vervoersverbindingen. Het uitgebreide ontbijt kan worden genuttigd op het terras met uitzicht op de zee en Yaiza. Het personeel is vriendelijk en behulpzaam. We hadden de junior suite met een grote kamer met een fantastische badkamer. Op het terras stonden ligstoelen en een tafel met stoelen voor ons klaar. Een koelkast is beschikbaar om te genieten van de goede wijnen.

Perfect place to stay. Quiet, clean and a lot of facilities. Breakfast on the terrace with a view over Yaiza. A little piece of paradise.

We spent two weeks at Casa de Hilario in Feb/March. The house is a traditional rural house outside the village of Yaiza in the centre of Lanzarote. Our bedroom was large and comfortable with views to the village and one of the many small volcanic peaks. Breakfasts were buffet style and self service, with tables indoors and outdoors on the large garden terrace. The food was fresh and the service from Lucia was excellent. The house was unstaffed in the afternoons and evenings and there was no bar or coffee facilities, which we missed. The guests all learned to stock up on snacks and drinks in the local supermarket. There is a good, traditional restaurant (Bodega de Santiago) next door for those who don't want to travel too far to eat, though our favourite restaurant was the nearby, sister property Casona de Yaiza which was excellent (we ate there four times). A good base for travelling around the island and will suit those who seek peace and tranquility in a lovely village. Not so good for those seeking a lively nightlife.

Stayed at this hotel when our flight was cancelled late one night managed to booked around 10.30 pm spoke to a lovely lady who spoke English we communicated through WhatsApp she explained how to get there where the keys would be pictures explaining where the room was For that time of night it made a stressful night a lot easier for us We had a lovely continental breakfast in the morning booked a taxi with a lady who was doing breakfast Taxi came on time I would say they went above and beyond to help us Thank you

Stayed in one of the suites… Quirky furnishings and decor in the room and bathroom…the volcanic rock bathroom was amazing…Outside there was a nice private terrace with table and chairs but only 1 very old and worn sun lounger. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful but the lack of availability of coffee and tea before breakfast service was surprising given that there were no facilities in the room to make any. There’s a lovely communal lounge and outside tables and chairs, there’s a communal fridge with a basket per room for your own personal goods so in the evening it would have been perfect to sit and have supper and a drink but there were no glasses, plates, cutlery to use… they were all locked away in cupboards until breakfast !!!! Hilario is in such a beautiful quiet location, perfect for exploring the island but sadly it’s lacking in simple things and a personal touch that are always available everywhere else we have stayed. We had no contact from the owners after our arrival. Given that we paid 117 euros a night for 7 nights we feel our experience wasn’t what we expected or value for money.

Stayed in room number 7 at the apar**ent's, not in the hotel, black mould on ceiling and walls in bathroom, dead mosquitoes squashed on walls and room smelt musty, bed uncomfortable. Complained to owner, she said they had be very busy with bookings and had not had time to refresh/redecorate the room, half way through our weeks stay while we were out, someone came in put bleach on the worst areas and painted over the worst bits in the bathroom, did not clean the walls. We paid 100 euros a night for 7 nights, i would compare the room to what we paid 20 euros a night for ten years ago in Greece, very basic and not very clean. We ate in the owners restaurant for 2 nights as a party of 4 and spent over 320 euros on food and wine. I would have at least expected a proper apology, not even a complementary bottle of wine or a small discount on our bill to say sorry when we dined at the restaurant. I will be interested to see if the owner responds to this review, she gave me the impression she could not care less. Bryn Jones Chester
