“The hotel is very cute and has a certain charm.”
The check-in / check-out was very smooth, despite us arriving late in the evening and leaving early in the morning. The breakfast was really good and the person who prepared it was very sweet and accommodating. The location of the hotel was good to as it was near the pedestrian area of the town. Also, the old style of the hotel is charming.

“A beautiful characterful hotel with lovely staff”
Beautiful old hotel with only 6 rooms, one of the nights it was just us, the staff welcome you and then let you have your stay in peace. It is an old building so it's a bit creaky but very charming and the historical area it is in is very very quiet at night, so even though the windows were old sash style it did not bother us at all. Except Festival de San Marcos night which was great fun to take part in. There's a lovely courtyard and area beyond it where you can sit and read. The breakfast, made mainly by Anna (the main staff member there in the mornings) was lovely and copious. A great start to the day for sight seeing. The beds were really comfortable, I thought they looked hard but then realised they're memory foam so they were super comfortable. We had one of the rooms without balcony, first floor, street side (room 5), but we did have a lovely second area with wardrobes before the bathroom that I think some of the others didn't. If needed there's a nice sitting room as well as the outside space. Depending on the Icod weather as it can be cloudy! We didn't use it though. Although check in was before 8pm, if you arrive later there is a number to call on the door and a gentleman kindly came and let us in and we checked in formally the next day (due to flight times). We had called ahead to say we'd be late. Icod is a great centre to base yourself in to then visit the surrounding area, Playa de la Cruz, Masca (our favourite), Garanchico or even go an hour to the more popular Costa Adeje for the day where it's warmer. We were happy we chose Icod and this hotel.

“The breakfast is great, and so is the location.”
It was a great location, very close to the centre of Icod, the museums and a few bars/restaurants. Parking in the locality was never a problem either. The hotel is perfectly comfortable but not amazing.

“A nice side of the island to explore”
The lady who runs it and does breakfast is lovely and very helpful, we left early for our flight on the last day so she left us some food in the room to take with us.

“3 nights in December”
Charming historic accommodation. The staff are all super friendly and helpful. Room #5 was big enough and a little bit dark. Had a nice balcony with a view to the sea. All in all charming, but do not expect 5 star hotel amenities.
