A beautiful characterful hotel with lovely staff
Pros:

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.

Cons:

Nothing relating to the hotel really, everything was great really. I even thought it would be noisy with the other customers because the building is quite old but we didn't hear anyone at night, it was great (our room did not adjoin any others on our floor). Parking is a bit tricky, when it says free parking available, it means street parking and the roads near the hotel are one way, also Google maps seems to have a bit of an issue with Icod so we took a while to find it, but once you get used to it it's all good! (our visit was end of April). Word of warning on the hotel name in Google maps - there are two Emblematico hotels in Icod! We accidentally went to the wrong one first.

Una noche emblemática
Pros:

El lugar perfecto. La cama muy cómoda. Diferente a otros hoteles.

Cons:

No me gustó el plato ducha, que está bastante viejo, ni las cortinas, creo que podrían cambiarlas y poner mampara que es más higiénico.

Rustique insolite mais original
Pros:

Le charme de l ancien et un petit déjeuner très copieux
Attention : demandez les chambres à l étage ou celle donnant sur le patio car celle au rez de chaussée donnant sur la rue est bruyante (il n y a pas pas de fenêtre,juste des volets très anciens !)
Les draps et la chambre sont faits tous les jours

Cons:

Il faut attendre que l on vienne vous ouvrir
Pas de réception 24/24 mais nous n avons pas trop attendu
Et la salle de bains est rustique
Se garer est compliqué dans cette rue très en pente : je recommande le parking de Mercadonia en bas de la rue à droite

Pour une nuit ça allait
Pros:

Belle demeure d'époque
Effectivement la chambre est d'époque, style coloniale ,plafond en poutres de bois, la salle de bain avec sa douche à l'ancienne
Énorme TV HD
Fruits, vin, cava et eau à disposition à l'arrivée
Le petit déjeuner est bon et copieux
Le patio et le jardin sont agréables

Cons:

La chambre 2 donne sur la rue, pas forcément agréable pour ouvrir les persiennes en bois , pour une nuit ça ira
A mon goût le prix est un peu excessif pour une nuit même si petit déj compris ça reste un budget surtout que ce n'est pas la haute saison
Check-in bref , sans échange ni conversation, il faut appeler pour que qqun vienne à votre arrivée

The breakfast is great, and so is the location.
Pros:

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.

Cons:

There never seemed to be staff members around, except at breakfast (and check in, after a phone call). If you needed anything extra, ringing the bell at the front desk went unanswered.
The wifi connection is pretty bad, very very slow to load anything - or maybe that was the TV itself!

Excellent séjour dans une maison typique
Pros:

Hotel installé dans une maison canarienne d'époque avec de magnifiques boiseries, un patio superbe, des pièces aménagées à l'ancienne avec un décor 1850/1900 . A deux pas de la partie historique de la ville et du parc au dragonnier millénaire. Magnifique suite avec grande chambre, bureau et salle de bains . Très bon confort . Bon petit déjeuner

Cons:

Très bon confort (mais la douche est quand même un peu d'époque...) Pas de vue côté rue. Pas de parking (dans une toute petite rue : attention en été !!!). Pas de réception permanente mais bonne disponibilité du gérant qui se déplace dès le coup de téléphone.

Agradable y acogedor
Pros:

El hotel es muy curioso. Una antigua casa Canaria transformada en hotel. Tiene pocas habitaciones, está bien decorado, con muchos detalles, mucha madera, un pequeño jardín interior muy bonito. La zona de desayuno es muy pequeña, pero acogedora. La persona que nos atendió fue muy amable y atenta.

Cons:

Nuestra habitación, la 1, no tenía ventanas que pudieran abrirse, es decir que eran como puertas_ventanas de madera sin cristal que daban directamente a la calle, a la acera, sin ningún intimidad. Esto es muy incómodo y te obliga a estar con luz eléctrica y todo cerrado, una lástima.
