Pension Cejas

Santa Cruz de Tenerife


Run by helpful owners, this adorable little place has operated as a pensión since the 1940s, with much of its original charm kept pleasantly intact: high ceilings, big wooden shutters and pretty tiles on the floor. Rooms are well kept, with colourful bedspreads, and a delightful yellow-walled patio with plants and a banana palm rounds off this appealing, good-value choice.
