Lucky`s Home by TOR

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first walked up to Lucky’s Home by TOR on Calle de Valois, I wasn’t expecting much. The name sounds a bit quirky, and you know how sometimes these smaller places can be hit or miss. But honestly? This place surprised me in the best way possible. It’s tucked into this residential street that’s actually perfect if you want to feel like you’re staying in a real neighborhood rather than some tourist bubble. You’re literally a five-minute walk from the main drag of Puerto de la Cruz, but far enough away that you’re not dealing with the chaos of crowds stumbling back from bars at 2 AM.

What I really appreciated – and this is something you don’t always get with four-star places – is how the staff actually seemed to care about making your stay work. The check-in was smooth (no waiting around for twenty minutes while they figure out their system), and they gave me genuinely useful local tips, not just the standard tourist brochure stuff. The rooms themselves are well thought out, I mean, someone clearly put effort into making the space functional without feeling cramped. The bed was comfortable enough that I actually slept well, which honestly doesn’t always happen when I’m traveling. Small thing, but the shower had decent water pressure – you’d be amazed how many places mess that up.

Here’s what really sold me on the location though: you’re close enough to walk to Playa Jardín when you want that black sand beach experience, but you’re also positioned perfectly for exploring the older parts of town. There’s this little bakery about two blocks away that locals actually go to (not just tourists), and the morning coffee there became part of my routine. Parking can be a bit tricky in Puerto de la Cruz generally, but the area around Lucky’s Home is manageable – just don’t expect to park right in front every time. The noise level is pretty reasonable too, especially compared to staying right in the tourist center where you’ve got street performers and late-night revelers. I mean, it’s still a lively area, but more in a good way than an “I can’t sleep” way. Overall, it’s one of those places where you can tell someone’s paying attention to the details without trying too hard to impress you. For an 8-rating property, it delivers exactly what you’d hope for without any unpleasant surprises.

Reviews

• Amazing place with minor flaws, we had a great time here! – Aleksander from Poland – 7 November 2024 (9/10)

  A stylish, cozy apartment with spacious rooms.
  
  What could be improved: There was a funny smell from the drain but it seems it is a problem for the whole block. Water pressure was very low.

• Comfortable flat in a great location – Leticia from Spain – 31 October 2024 (8/10)

  Very comfortable and location closed the beach
  
  What could be improved: Some details such as pans not very new and made difficult cooking food

• Everything was perfect except the smelling. – Gaia from Spain – 27 June 2024 (7/10)

  I liked the location, decoration and service.
  
  What could be improved: I think the smell needs to be fixed. I wouldn't go back just because of it, it was pretty annoying. They sent a person to fix it but it kept smelling bad. We had to have windows open all the time because of that, which made our sleeping a bit more challenging due the noise.

• Very good – Bogdan from United Kingdom – 22 May 2024 (8/10)

  The apartment is very nice, comfortable and as stated in the description.
  It's close to restaurants, shops, other amenities and the city centre.
  The kitchen is very well equipped for cooking.
  The WiFi was very good as well.
  We were very happy with our choice.
  
  What could be improved: The check-in was a bit problematic. Someone was supposed to meet us at the property, but they didn't come. We were also delayed due to the bus availability, however they could've texted/called.
  I believe an agency manages the property and I had to talk to different people and call several times which wasn't straightforward. It was Saturday evening and the carnival was happening as well; so I guess not the best timing.
  However in the end everything was solved, we got our set of keys, the cot we requested and we enjoyed our stay.
  
  There is some noise from the street below, but we found it ok. We also had a 6 month old baby which was able to sleep fine.

• Good location in the city center, value for money, but noisy – Clau from Romania – 28 October 2022 (8/10)

  The location is central, 7 min walk to Puerto de la Cruz center and to the beach. Lots of stores, cafeterias, restaurants nearby, friendly neighbourhood. Check in and host super nice. The place was clean, has a small balcony, all the useful things in the kitchen and also a washing machine. Nice building also and very good that is has an elevator.
  
  What could be improved: Finding a parking place can take up to 30 min, very crowded area. Noisy in the evening and also during the nights, due to the fact that the window is to a very crowded and circulated street. The apartment doesn't have air conditioning, it may be quite hot depending on the period of the year. Also the beds and the pillows are not so comfy, especially the sofa..

• Superb – Michelle from Spain – 2 July 2025 (9/10)

  Todo en excelente condiciones
  
  What could be improved: Hace un poco de calor por la noche

• Appartement parfait – Anne from France – 27 April 2024 (9/10)

  Appartement très propre, bien aménagé et décoré. Rien n'y manque. Bien situé proche commerces et bord de mer.
  
  What could be improved: A titre indicatif, impossible de garer un véhicule à proximité de l'appartement. Grand parking gratuit à 10 minutes à pied

• Good – Roland from Germany – 3 December 2023 (7/10)

  Helle, gut ausgestattete Unterkunft.
  
  What could be improved: Ausrichtung nach Süden, dadurch steht die Hitze in der Wohnung und ist nachts auch mit dem zur Verfügung gestellten Ventilator nicht aus der Wohnung zu bekommen.

• Polecam jako bazę wypadową na zwiedzanie wyspy i wieczorne spacery po starówce. – Dorota from Poland – 17 November 2023 (9/10)

  Mieszkanie urządzone przytulnie, głównie w stylu IKEA, czysto, spokojni sąsiedzi, bardzo blisko do centrum i głównego deptaku, winda, w pobliżu cukiernia i pizzeria, widok na skarpę porośniętą roślinnością. Świetna lokalizacja do zwiedzania północy wyspy.
  
  What could be improved: Lokalizacja w centrum to coś za coś – mieszkanie znajduje się na jednej z ostatnich ulic przed centrum z normalnym ruchem więc jego nasilenie w godzinach porannych i wieczornych powodowało znaczny hałas – nam jakoś bardzo nie przeszkadzało ale jak ktoś musi spać w ciszy to raczej niewykonalne. Duży problem z parkowaniem w pobliżu apartamentu a byliśmy poza sezonem, jednak można się tego było spodziewać – tak jak wspominałam na początku coś za coś 🙂

• Very good – Eloi from Spain – 22 August 2023 (8/10)

  Lo bien equipado que está el piso. Aunque no tiene horno.
  Muy buena ubicación.
  
  What could be improved: Olor a humedad al entrar al edificio.
