Hotel Emblematico San Marcos

Very interesting old building, like stepping back in time, but with necessary modern day amenities and friendly staff.

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.

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.

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.

This hotel has a great deal to recommend it. It's in a delightful old building that has been lovingly looked after, with shining woodwork everywhere and generously proportioned bedrooms (as well as extensive public rooms). However, it would be wrong to suggest that it's all old-fashioned: the TV was hi-spec and the wifi functioned very well. The breakfast too was excellent, with great choice. All in all, it probably the best of the four places we stayed in during a recent visit to Tenerife. Highly recommended.

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.

Spacious room, sunny patio, unique surroundings. The hotel is within easy walking distance from Icod’s Old Town and its major sites. The breakfast with freshly prepared eggs was particularly nice.

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.

Took a bit of time getting in but the staff very helpful once in with advice on restaurants etc. Our room very large and amazing building but almost too dark to read by. Roof terrace and garden plus public rooms made up for it. Good continental breakfast. We amended our booking to 2 nights from 3 . There was street parking but like a lot of Tenerife it is a lottery.
