I do not know about any hotels in the old town of Las Palmas and I do not know about any hotels which allow dogs to stay.

I bet you have to take a taxi; but there are a number of local buses available nearby. I personally use the application called whatsinport you may find on the net. This application has information about 1200 ports all over the world, including the Las Palmas Gran Canaria - with a map as well! The port is close to Parque de Santa Catalina where you also find a huge shopping centre called CC el Muelle
