Lovely characterful hotel right in the centre of the historical quarter of La Orotava. Ideal for exploring the town and as a jump off point for hiking in the valley or further afield in Tiede National Park. Suitable for a one or two night stay for exploring the area, comfortable but not luxurious. Didn’t eat here apart from breakfast which was well stocked. Plenty of restaurants within walking distance. No dedicated parking, parked on the street right outside but first come first served basis. Roads a bit narrow if you’re a cautious driver but that’s all part of the charm. Helpful and attentive staff.

Great hotel, great location to see all the sites in Oratova. Parking a few blocks away was convenient

Very helpful staff. Steep streets, not good if you have any disability. Excellent location for seeing the main sights of very pretty town of La Orotava Lots of traffic pass by, but we had a room at the back so this did not affect us. No kettle in the room and one staff member was reluctant to let us take cups of tea to the room (most were OK with this.) Mediocre hair dryer.

This is a great 3 star hotel. The rooms are slightly smaller than modern hotels but it is after all an historic building. The bathroom was small but had everything you need. La Orotava is built on the side of a very steep hill and on street parking outside the hotel is in short supply. However the ambience of the hotel and the helfulness of the staff makes up for it.

We had a lovely stay in Hotel Rural Victoria over Christmas. Lovely room in an old, atmospheric and charming hotel. Great staff - helpful and attentive - thank you especially to Miguel who is a mine of useful information.

Hotel was everything you expect from its star rating, room was large, clean and comfortable. No air conditioning but not needed if you had window and door open to sea. Unique experience of having the tide com in under the building. Admittedly the noise from the sea overnight may trouble some people. Food was awful though so I would not recommend taking anything other than just breakfast.

The hotel is in a lovely part of La Orotava, quite convenient, easily walkable to everything in the small town. The staff were extremely helpful and obliging, helping me with paying the bill late the evening before my early morning departure, and were available at 6AM and able to call me a taxi. The rooms were pleasingly neat and tidy and, despite not being all brand new, was comfortable. I was able to borrow an iron to iron a shirt before the event I was going to, and they were willing to help me out with any breakfast requirements I had. The restaurant was of a high standard, and it was pretty busy with diners from outside of the hotel, too.

We stayed here for 9 days March /April 2014 and had a very pleasant stay. This is a 14 roomed small hotel, quite old fashioned and sedate which, for us, all added to it's charm. Our room was quiet and had a lovely view. Excellent lunches and evening meals in the restaurant at reasonable prices. The breakfasts had a good,varied selection of cooked or continental style choices. I would say the hotel is best suited to couples / adults as opposed to young children. The gin & tonics are fab! La Oratava is an interesting town with 2 very attractive botanical gardens, good views and numerous bars/cafes. Some streets very steep. We had use of a car and Tenerifian friends so were able to explore off the beaten track; the Anaga Mountains lovely,a boat trip from Los Gigantes to Masca to see dolphins etc also very enjoyable. The "must do" is El Teide which surpassed our expectations.

We wanted somewhere away from the beach resorts and chose La Orotava for its location. The hotel Rural Victoria was a real find. Room was fine, staff very friendly and helpful and food excellent - and all for a very reasonable price. Only minor drawback was the limited parking which meant driving round the very busy (narrow) streets if the few spaces were occupied. We would certainly book again and recommend it to others.

This hotel was exactly what we were looking for. We are a 60+ couple who like peace and quiet, reading, walking and eating good food, and we were more than content with what the Rural Victoria had to offer. Michelin-recommended food, a suite with huge rooms (we were upgraded on arrival at no cost) and traditional Canarian architecture all around us - within the hotel and throughout the old town outside. This is most definitely not, however, the correct choice for anyone looking for a lively atmosphere - it's almost like a retreat here.

We stayed at this hotel during the second week in February and were very impressed. The standard of the food was superb and the menu extensive, and we could see why the hotel has had a Michelin recommendation. The breakfast buffet was fine, and the only small criticism would be that there was sometimes a wait for certain items at peak times. We liked our room which had sea views towards Puerto de la Cruz. The staff need complementing on the care and attention they gave us whilst there, particularly Zaira and Miguel, who were always only too happy to help. Parking could be very difficult here, but the staff gave us good tips on where to find free parking in this busy town.
