Checkin Diamar
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Yes, if you want the cheapest of our three Arrecife picks and a handy base near the airport, bus station and town shops. Look at our Best Value pick if breakfast quality matters to you, as it is the weak point here.

This is our Budget pick for Arrecife. It suits short stays, travellers arriving or leaving by plane, and anyone using the bus network to get around Lanzarote. The property lists beachfront, a restaurant, family rooms, free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and a terrace. We have not confirmed what beachfront means on the ground, so check the photos and map before you book.
If a good breakfast is a big part of your holiday, think twice. It is the one area guests criticise. And if you want the highest guest score in town, the Best Value pick scores better.
Location and getting around
The address is Avenida Fred Olsen, 8. Guests rate the location 9.2 out of 10 and say it is convenient for the airport, the bus station and the shops in the town centre.
Castillo de San José is about 2.7 km away, roughly 34 minutes on foot. The Temple Hall ship is about 3.9 km, around 49 minutes. Both are over half an hour on foot, so many guests will prefer public transport or a taxi. These walking times are straight-line estimates and have not been verified.
What guests say
The 8.1 score comes from 1,639 reviews. Apart from the location, staff get the most praise: a friendly, professional team that gives helpful service and a warm welcome.
Breakfast is where opinions split. The buffet has variety, with gluten-free options and a breakfast to go, but some guests say items are cold, stale or not fresh.
Price and how it compares with our other Arrecife picks
The reference price was €94.50 per night, seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults in one room. That is €189 for both nights and 40% below the €158.25 median of the hotels we compared. It is a reference, not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates.
Our Best Value pick, Hotel Lancelot, was €126.50 a night with an 8.8 score. Our Luxury pick, Arrecife Gran Hotel & Spa, a five-star hotel, was €209.31 with an 8.6. Diamar saves you €32 a night over the Lancelot, and the main cost is a lower guest score.
Why it made our top 3
Only 4 eligible hotels in Arrecife made the comparison, so the field was small. After setting aside an upscale choice, Diamar had the lowest eligible reference price. Its score of 8.1 is the lowest of the four, but it is backed by more than 1,600 reviews and a 9.2 location score.
