Urbansea Bex

Urbansea Bex is a four-star hotel at Calle León y Castillo 330, in the Triana and León y Castillo area of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, on Gran Canaria in Spain's Canary Islands. León y Castillo is one of the city's principal avenues and a main bus corridor, which makes the hotel well connected to Triana's pedestrian shopping streets, the Vegueta old town and the beaches. Listings give about 12 minutes' walk to Playa de las Alcaravaneras, a city beach near the marina, while Playa de Las Canteras on the opposite side of the isthmus is reached by a short bus or taxi ride.

The hotel is part of the Urbansea group of city-oriented properties and follows a contemporary urban-hotel style rather than a historic one. Rooms are listed as double and twin rooms, generally with air conditioning, a work space and a private bathroom. Indicative rates start from about EUR 93 per night, a mid-range price for a four-star hotel in the capital of Gran Canaria, with variation by season and demand.

Breakfast is the main on-site meal service to confirm with the hotel at booking time, and the avenue and nearby Triana district offer a wide choice of cafes, tapas bars, bakeries and international restaurants. Spa, pool or fitness facilities are not confirmed in the listing data, so guests who need them should ask the hotel directly.

The service character is practical and suited to business travellers, couples on city breaks and visitors who want to explore without a car. Because buses stop along León y Castillo, the hotel works as a convenient base for reaching the Santa Catalina area, the port, the Museo Canario in Vegueta and the island's main bus station at San Telmo. Gran Canaria airport is roughly 20 km to the south and is served by an airport bus and by taxis. The location is busier and more urban than the beach districts, so rooms facing the avenue can have traffic noise; quieter rooms can be requested on booking.
