The island of micro-climates, Gran Canaria boasts a number of accommodation options – from luxury beachfront resorts to surf hostels and mountain hideaways. If you want more privacy than a hostel, but don’t want to shell out for a luxury hotel, then you’re in luck. We’ve found a great array of cheap hotels in Gran Canaria, including charming guesthouses in the capital of Las Palmas, romantic B&Bs with tropical gardens and even hotels on the coast with outdoor pools and tennis courts – all bookable on Culture Trip.
