There is so much to be impressed by at this hotel. When walking through the main entrance you are surrounded by Spanish culture. The breakfast has everything you would expect in a big hotel croissants, coffee, cereal, cheeses and meat etc. but in a beautiful Spanish room. There is a sitting room with piano, a small library with table. The room had lots of beautiful furnishings. The balcony had table and two chairs. Everything in the Expedia photos is what you will see.

Perfect in every way

The Hotel has 5 star quality in an 18th century building. Full of character in the rooms and the outdoor patio & gardens. Everything you could wish for for breakfast. Perfect location in the old town 5 minutes walk from the famous Dragon Tree and restaurants as well the bus station.

Disappointing

This really is a b&b. Not a hotel. Pleasant and friendly staff only at the property in the morning to set up breakfast and clean. The property gets no direct sun and is therefore cold if not damp. Reserved parking for 3 cars is imediately outside the property on a VERY steep narrow road.
The decor is antique Spanish with very heavy Christian art work. Overall a very dark property. Shower room desperately needed updating.There was no roof terrace.
Our visit coincided with the Icod Fiesta. Be warned. Everything including restaurants closes at 4pm.
The property is possibly ok for a couple of nights if the weather is warm but not recommened for a longer stay.

Nice room and friendly staff, but WiFi poor

Place was dead on arrival. Had to phone to get someone to check us in and give us keys. Fortunately, weather good so didn't get wet waiting outside.
Anna, who served breakfast, cleaned & made up rooms, was lovely and very helpful. WiFi was variable and not very fast, so used data, which had a good signal. Shower was ok but old and first day flooded. Only one of local restaurants was of a decent standard, and several were closed most of our stay.

Beautiful house, delicious breakfast

Beautiful old house with patio and small garden. Delicious breakfast with lots of choice: fresh fruit and orange juice, guacamole, salsa, different breads, cold meats, cheeses, eggs cooked to order.
We reported that the TV didn't work properly and hopefully this will be sorted out. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Nice place but have a bit of respect please

The building is beautiful, it was like staying in a museum. Breakfast was good and I was well looked-after as a vegetarian. Sadly, I was not housed in the room I had already booked & paid for - I was placed in an inferior room (no garden view or balcony) but without being offered any compensation. I would therefore NOT recommend this hotel.

Unique hotel experience

The hotel is one of a kind and whilst small, has everything anyone could want.
We decided to steer away from the tourist areas of Tenerife and Icod is a traditional local place and the hotel experience is also traditional and local.
The staff are excellent and nothing is too much trouble for them.
The only downside is the locals are very noisy at the weekend, the local square is an outdoor celebration area which is very welcoming and the local people love to celebrate but the celebrations go on until 4 am and I recommend taking ear plugs. The area is noisy most nights but not as bad as the weekend. Probably the best way to cope with the noise is to join in the celebration

Characterful hotel near to town and restaurants

Pleasant hotel with a lot of character. Our room was quite dark as the shuttered window opened out directly on to the street, so we didn't want to leave it open. Good breakfast with freshly squeezed orange juice. No staff on site overnight, though an emergency contact no was given.

Nice hotel on very steep road

This is an hotel of great character and charm. Our bedroom, No 4, was very nice, with a lovely verandah looking out to the hill across. The hotel staff are also really excellent, in particular, Marie, was really helpful. The hotel location means you really need a car with sat nav to get there and there is no hotel reception - arrival is by phoned arrangement with Marie, who lives 20 minutes drive away. Unfortunately for us, the hotel is located on a 1 in 4 hill - so for us it was rather hard - for the vigorous less so.

Good location hotel with very friendly staff

The hotel is situated near the historic main plaza in Icod. The house is an eighteenth century property which was done up by the current owners and then subsequently turned into a hotel. The timber-framed building has bundles of character.
The staff are very friendly. The breakfast is fresh and plentiful.

Wonderful restored Canarian house.

Wonderful restored Canarian house of dark wood, exquisitely furnished. Room #8 was at rear of house and had a small balcony with chairs /table looking onto valley and partial sea view. There is also a pretty courtyard, garden and guest sitting room with many delightful paintings

This is a small, rural hotel and we were very glad we had a chance to stay there for two nights.

Lovely Retreat

Our stay was for four nights after touring the islands for four weeks. This is a beautifully and thoughtfully restored historic home. Marie welcomed us graciously and introduced us to the building's charms. She also prepared a terrific breakfast with a pleasing selection of items and delicious eggs. It was central, comfortable and very quiet. The local restaurants were both very good and easily walkable. There were two options for parking available but we fortunately found parking in front for three nights of our stay. This was also a convenient location from which to explore the island from by car. We noticed that Marie spoke several languages with ease. She was helpful in advising us on travel plans. This property was our favorite accomodation on our trip to the Canary Islands and a wonderful conclusion to our holiday.

Quiet and charming location in a lovely old house

Really nice old style house, wonderfully maintained. Rooms are big and the house has charm. Service and attention were good and breakfast is really nice.
We got a ticket to go in and out of the public car park which is 2 mins away.
The famous drago tree is also within walking distance and so is the historical part of Icod.

Highly recommended

Our stay here was the highlight of our road tour around Tenerife and La Gomera. The building has been beautifully and stylishly refurbished, with lots of interesting antiques. Very friendly and helpful staff, who weren't at all fazed that we arrived very late at night. The area is very quiet, with lots of greenery, even though it is in the centre of town and only a few minutes walk to local restaurants and the famous tree. Good quality breakfast, with excellent quality meats, cheese and bread. This very new hotel deserves to do very well.

Bonito hotel en pleno centro de Icod

El hotel está en una situación muy buena para visitar Icod y el norte de Tenerife.
Lo malo de los hoteles antiguos es que hay algunas cosas en cuanto al confort, que no son óptimas. Por ejemplo, a nosotros nos tocó una habitación de la primera planta y todo lo que pasaba en el piso superior se escuchaba claramente en nuestro techo. Tocó la casualidad de que los huéspedes que estaban arriba esa noche hicieron ruido hasta la madrugada y fue difícil conciliar el sueño. Recomendaría llevar tapones para los oídos.
Nuestra habitación unas \"ventanas\" sin cristales que daban directamente a la calle y no podíamos dejarlas abiertas para que entrara la luz, si no queríamos oír los ruidos de fuera.

El hotel es precioso, el desayuno está bastante decente y la localización es ideal.
