La Bussola, Las Palmas De Gran Canaria Overview
La Bussola is located in Las Palmas De Gran Canaria, Spain. Rated 8.2 out of 10 based on 68 guest reviews.
La Bussola is a small, guest-focused stay in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain, on Calle Dragón 20, a practical base for exploring the city on foot. With a guest rating of 8.2/10 from 68 reviews, it tends to suit couples and solo explorers who prefer a calm, straightforward setup rather than a hotel-style routine. Check-in runs from 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM, so later arrivals are generally manageable, while check-out is at 11:00 AM.
Reviews frequently highlight the care taken with cleanliness, including rooms disinfected between stays, which matters for travelers who are sensitive to hygiene. The atmosphere is also shaped by shared spaces: there’s a shared lounge/TV area and a shared kitchen, which can feel like a home base if you enjoy chatting with other guests or keeping snacks and drinks close. Non-smoking rooms and non-smoking throughout help the property stay comfortable for those who don’t want lingering odors.
Location-wise, you can reach Las Canteras Beach in about 1 km for morning swims or sunset walks, and Parque de Santa Catalina is similarly close for an easy stroll and people-watching. For history and architecture, Santa Ana Cathedral is around 2 km away, and the Vegueta old town area follows at roughly the same distance. If you want a relaxed urban break with quick access to the waterfront and key sights, La Bussola is a sensible choice—especially for travelers who don’t mind using shared facilities and prefer a quiet, orderly environment.
