These are fanstaic apartments for the money paid, very secrue, clean and tidy! The reception staff are very friendly and the location is the best. 5 mins to the Yumbo about 7 mins to the beach and next door to a supermarket. The pool area is clean and tidy with a bar... more

The Carmen Apartments were well situated approximately 5 minutes walk from the Yumbo centre and Tourist information. 10 minutes walk from the beach and right next to a fairly large supermarket and (mainly German) bar complex called the Sandia Centre. Bus stops for various... more

I have stayed in the Carmen three times in the last few months. The apartments though basic are more than acceptable for the very reasonable price charged. They are very clean and "insect" free. The maid service is very efficient and will come back later in the day if you... more

The Carmen Apartments are situated about 5 mins walk from the Yumbo Centre and right next door to the Sandia Centre and a large supermarket. The apartments are standard Spanish basic with the usual "interesting" collection of odd crockery and cutlery, glasses and cooking... more

Perfect Stay (Again).
Like some of the reviewers have pointed out already, the Carmen Apartments are in need of a little updating however, I have stayed at this family-run hotel twice and both experiences have been wonderful. The apartments (studios and 1-beds) are quite large with generous balconies (many with a partial sea or full sea-view) and whilst they are aging they are immaculate. Each room comes with a television, large safe, 2-hob kitchenette with full 1/2-size fridge freezer and all of the crockery you will need. There is a small shop on floor 0 and a... more
Good value, great location
Just returned from a week at the Carmen apartments at Playa Del Ingles. Great location being just minutes walk from both the Cita and Yumbo centres and close to the beach too. Great supermarket next to apartments too.. Rooms serviced regularly and a decent sized pool / garden sunbathing area. If you are not expecting the Ritz then you won't be disappointed. Good value, clean and convenient apartments....
Good location but..........
The Carmen Apartments were well situated approximately 5 minutes walk from the Yumbo centre and Tourist information, 10 minutes walk from the beach and right next to a fairly large supermarket and (mainly German) bar complex called the Sandia Centre. Bus stops for various buses are close by ( including the (no 66) hourly bus from the airport (3.5 euros per person) takes 45 minutes and drops you off at the Yumbo centre). We stayed in a studio room which was a good size and well-presented. The beds were the 2 sofas (already made... more
No Carmen Elektra!
Nice on the outside, comparative confusion on the inside! Upon approach, the sandy orange colour is a contrast to the white hotels splashed all across Gran Canaria. (Being my 7th visit to the Island, it does make a change!) However changing my hotel wasnt on my list of things I felt I needed to do upon arrival. Whatever you do - Do not book a studio - you will be given an apartment where the bed is the sofas put together to make a bed!!! Not best pleased and let down by the lack of help at reception and my tour operator who had... more
Location, location, location
We stayed at the Carmen Apts for 9 nights over Easter week, having stayed there two years previously. It was absolutely fine for what it cost. The room was basic, the decor a bit tired, and the fittings a lttle aged, but it was clean and it was serviced on 7 out of the 9 days we were there. Our coffee maker gave up the ghost on the second night but way replaced with a new one the following day. The pool area and bar have been recently renovated and is quite a nice place to chill out. If you want to be near the action then this is the... more
Good !
I stayed in the hotel for three nights in March 2007. I chose it due to its proximity to the centre and Yumbo & Citta CC. Actually, they're about 200 metre from them, so you avoid the noisy clubs when you go to sleep. I had read the bad critics and was a bit suspicious before my arrival. But the hotel is fine ! The price is OK, one of the cheapest I found in the area, but it's clean and provides standard facilities of a 2* hotel : clean and rather quiet compared to the location and the structure of the building (I was on the 4th floor... more
Very Nice Hotel
I have stayed at this hotel for two weeks. I simply cannot understand the negative reviews I have read. Though not luxurious, it is a comfortable hotel. Clean, quiet, close to the Yumbo Centre and very close to the beach. The Staff were helpful and well informed. I brought with me my laptop to watch DVDs when not going out and to my surprise I had free Wireless Broadband connection in my room (1.5Mb). Very pleased with that as I could keep in touch with all my friends and family without having to use some of the dire net cafes around.<br... more
3 keys you must be joking
stayed 2nd november 2006 for a week we had booked a 1 bed apartment (room 117) which was next to a utility come store room on the ground floor which was very noisey especially early in the morning. we had large cockroaches for company although they did provide us with a spray to fend them off with. The bathroom and shower area was disgusting which included rusty pipes mouldy tiles and cracked brown looking sealant around the bath area.Overall the reception area was nice but the apartment was the pits!
Nice Hotel
I was a bit worried about going to this hotel due to some of the reviews I'd read. I found it to be absoluely fine, it was clean, cheap and cheerful, the rooms were more than ample with good showers and I never saw one cockroach. I would definately recommend to the budget traveller or someone who's not intrested in paying a fortune for accomodation. Well done Apartmentos Carmen!
I Can't believe we lasted 2 nights !!
We have just returned from Playa Del Ingles, originally booked into Apartments Carmen for seven nights. The room given us looked as though it hadn't seen a paint brush for fifty years, very poorly decorated and we did not even have a proper bed, just two single sofas that were bolted onto the wall and not moveable. The bathroom was equally dirty looking and has a stagnant smell to it. We asked to be moved and were given a room directly two floors above of the same standard. We eventually wasted a day finding alternative... more
