Hotel Boutique Gastronómico Palacio Ico

Beautiful, inventive & respectful adaptation of an historical structure, incorporating centuries-old features creatively & practically. Superb restaurant featuring elegant dishes highlighting fresh local ingredients & outstanding wines. Every offering was distinctive, Michelin-star quality, presented enticingly — delicious. Of the staff, Nicolas was a knowledgeable standout adviser on outings & routes. The hotel has easy entry, exit & parking. Breakfast each of four mornings was excellent on every score, including service & great coffee.

Notable errors in the evening restaurant charges, though sorted out promptly the next morning.

Beautiful old building in lovely town. Staff very helpful and attentive.

Warm welcome from friendly staff and delightful breakfast. Sunday market was interesting too. If you have a chance, get a reservation for dinner in the restaurant - and outstanding experience.

Quiet location, beautiful courtyard, excellent reception staff.

We were in room number one on the ground level. We could hear the automated restaurant cart drive by our door during the evening. I would recommend staying on the second floor if you have the chance.

Lovely historic property in old town. Friendly staff

Closes up completely pm and evening. We left some things behind and had difficulty recovering them due to this

Very pleasant stay.Beautiful room in ancient house.Kind staff.Have a look at the restaurant!

Rien

location is amazing with lots of artisan shops around, breakfast was amazing as was the michelin recommended dinner. Had a very rustic and authentic but relaxing and comfy look

too bad that since our visit it has changed to adult only, we’d really like to visit again with our child again in the future

Great breakfast with lovely . local fresh food. Fantastic rooms in a characterful hotel.

This small walled hotel is a traditional building, perfectly located in the middle of the best town to base yourself in if exploring Lanzarote by car. It’s round the corner from the main piazza with parking right outside, but it’s very quiet and peaceful inside. The courtyard garden that you cross to get to your room is beautifully planted, with seating and deckchairs too. Rooms are huge but there are only a few, so it still feels homely. Ensuite bathrooms are either separate or part of the main room, and each room is designed differently. We stayed in two rooms, one of which was better for bathroom privacy than the other but neither a problem. Beds are huge and comfy and there’s plenty of storage space. Upstairs rooms lead onto a balcony where you can sit with a glass of wine to watch the sun set. Downstairs rooms are cool and shady, which would be lovely in summer. Service is always attentive but never intrusive (thank you, Nicholas). Breakfasts in the lovely dining room offer a huge choice of little treats so you can vary them according to your taste and level of hunger (or hangover!). The evening dining tasting menu was good though not exceptional - coming from London we’re perhaps a bit spoiled. But the atmosphere was lovely and it’s always a pleasure to sit and relax with others in this beautiful boutique hotel. It’s a gorgeous, calm place to wake in and to retreat to at the end of the day. I’d love to return.

It’s hard to fault this place, really. A few more coffee pods and a wider choice of teas would be nice in the rooms, especially if you’re staying in for an evening. WiFi is not reliable in some areas, so it’s perhaps not a place to base yourself in for laptop work. Bathroom products contain SLSs (Sodium Laureth Sulfate), which might be worth replacing at this hotel's level of experience and price. But the main thing I didn’t like was leaving...

Comfortable rooms

Fridge was noisy switching on and off all night would have it and coffee making facilities in the sitting area.

The room (room 3) was very spacious and with qualitative equipements. The AC is really appreciable and the bed was SUPER comfortable. The breakfast is amazing and can be eaten on the terrasse or inside.

Building, architecture, decor, staff. Unfortunately it was a too short stay.

It took us a while to figure out the WiFi info - it was printed in the key card but, either I missed the info about it or we weren't told. It took us also a while to figure out how to close the ceiling window. Again, either we missed the info or it was not provided. But this is a minor issue. The form requires us to report something we didn't like and I had to come up with something...

Fabulous location in the heart of Tequise. Beautiful building and rooms. The lady serving breakfast on our first morning was exceptionally pleasant and cheerful. Also breakfast was amazing on both days. So much choice all brought to your table. Yoghurt and muesli, fresh fruit, local cheese and ham, bread, in-house made jams and sauces, cake and churros, plus tea or coffee. Also offered scrambled or fried eggs, which were delicious. Kept us going all day! Loved the courtyard in the centre - an oasis of calm to enjoy a coffee or drink, especially on Sunday Market day!

Would probably choose a room on the upper floor if returning.

Special hotel and place - great expereince. Room, evening dinner and breakfast all excellent. Our second night coincided with the town 'heavy rock' night - not easy for hotel team, but even this made us laugh ?

The central location during hot weather won't suit everyone

Interior Design Room Location

The hotel is totally understaffed. For instance, we waited 30 minutes to get a coffee during breakfast. One employee has to manage the entire breakfast service, as well as the reception area by herself. Staff seems to be overwhelmed and stressed out. Hence, the price/value ratio is out of balance and the owners should invest more in qualifed employees. It's such a pity as the hotel has the potential to be an absolut gem. However, as of now it's not worth the money. A hotel should be more than just nice rooms.

The breakfast was good but basic. You don’t get to choose what you have but a light selection is given to you. It was nice and tasted good, but you would expect a menu or a little choice at the price. The room was exceptional. Beautiful, bright, spacious with a very comfy bed. Good bathroom amenities available. The area is beautiful with some very lovely restaurants nearby. We had tapas in La Cafeteria which was exceptional.

The breakfast could have had more selection or choice. Wouldn’t be good for many dietary requirements.

Beautiful design and everything decorated with exemplary taste. Our room was spacious and cool and the gardens were beautifully planted with glorious pots and lovely local artefacts. Gloriously quiet courtyard. No pool unfortunately, if it did have, you’d be unlikely to leave! Dinner was gorgeous and the breakfast on the terrace was divine. A gorgeous place to stay.

The hotel is beautiful, very comfortable and well located. Everyone is super friendly and breakfast is amazing!

Important to improve wifi

Palacio Ico is an absolutely lovely, quaint and comfortable hotel in the delightful Lanzarote former capital of Tequise. Rooms are large , well appointed, and comfortable…. The breakfasts outstanding and the staff so kind and helpful We had two outstanding evening meals in the hotel, one outside and one in the dining room … both were delicious .Staff genuinely want to help you to enjoy your stay and go the ‘ extra mile’ to help guests have a wonderful stay. We had a wonderful four nights at Palacio Ico and loved every minute

Everything exceeded our expectations

From check in to check out we couldn’t fault a thing. Intimate small hotel with amazing food. The staff were all very engaging and attentive. Highly recommend the evening meal in the restaurant it was so beautiful. Breakfast also lovely
