Overall Ratings & Reviews Apartamentos Estrella del Norte

I really liked this place, despite some eccentricities. Estrella del Norte is run by a few generations of a Canarian family, and feels like a family-run establishment. The building is somewhat dated, but boasts fantastic views both ways, of the sea and nearby Teide volcano. They keep it spotlessly clean, and are very welcoming. I stayed in what they called the Honeymoon Suite, top floor. My room had balconies on both sides. One of the eccentricities was a hot tub in the room that also served as the kitchen and living room. This isn't a criticism; just an observation. I was ill for the first part of my stay, and extended my stay twice. The owners were very accommodating of me, and they earned my gratitude. They also provided, free of charge, a litterbox for my cat, who travels everywhere with me. The hotel is on a block that serves as a de facto resort compound. It's a little bit uphill from the central area of Icod, but is self-contained. The reception has a small shop with necessities like snacks and soft drinks and booze. Just around the corner, on the same block, there is a full-service restaurant (Los Faroles). I'm not sure if it's affiliated with the hotel, but I ate a lot of my meals there. They serve massive portions of Canarian food at excellent prices, and are one of the few places open on holidays. I would definitely stay here again.

Everything was very good . Check -in and check-out was very easy . They housekeepimg was very good . But I would like to suggest that they should change the pillows and blanket . Even though it was clean but they look like it has been used for too long time and there are some permanent stains on the covers . And pillows became so hard .

Overall, it is a great place to stay if you want to be closer to real Tenerife.. A car is essential as walking to amenities is rather difficult due to how steep the area is. Me and my partner really liked the location- we still remember those morning coffees with amazing views into the ocean. The apartment itself was quite spacious and it had all we needed. The only negative was the bed- very squeaky at every move - the bed screws need a little grease and that should solve the problem. Wi-Fi was good in the living room and on the balcony, but not great in the bedroom itself.. The staff very friendly.. There’s is a restaurant on site that serves food and drinks at very reasonable prices..

The appartment was spacious and suited our visit. It was plenty of space for three people, staff was very nice and helpful. It had almost all necessary kitchen accessories (except cutting board) very nice view trough the balcony. The only minus was that there was no heating and the room felt cold inthe mornings and evenings.

We had a beautiful room with 4 beds, as requested. It included a deck with an amazing view down to the ocean. We were pleased to find the adjacent restaurant open for dinner.

The location is beautiful, mountains on one side and sea on the other. WiFi signal is terrible in the rooms and works well in the corridor. Overall the place is okay for the price !!!

The septic was backed up and the room stank to the point of nausea. Had to cancel and book elsewhere. Also you can't flush toilet paper so all your wipes had to be put in be the bin next to the toilet. The hotel kitchen was an unbelievable disaster. The owner left her 11 year old daughter who doesn't speak a lick of English at the front desk so check in was difficult to say the least.

At first we came to the place and the lady at reception didnt find our reservation. Then she told as that all the rooms are booked, so insted, she gave as the suite at the same price. The room was great, clean, small but comfortable, with great view!

Noone in the reception took us about 10 min to find a person who could check us in. Got the wrong room to start with two single beds pushed together instead of king bed. The second room got broken shower handle, black mould in the fridge and and the balcony rail very badly installed- you could use it as a swing instead. No internet connection in a room just on the balcony and very poor. Left after a few hours as soon as secured another hotel. Very disappointed how the owner responded to our complaint. View to die for as long you do not look down- they were getting a new patio just below our balcony.

Stayed here for one nite due to an early arrival date into Tenerif the hotel is very remote a basic. Our room was extremely small you could just walk around the bed. There is very little in the way of restaurants in this area so you are committed to use hotel resturant which is reasonably priced. I would not recommend booking a room if staying more than a few days apartments are available.

On arrival my booking was cancelled and had to pay more. Three people of my party were bitten by something during the night. The beds were very hard. Breakfast was €7 each and was really not worth it. It could be a nice hotel, but sadly I won’t be coming here again. The flashing pharmacy light outside was a real irritation.

Food very good and staff helpful. Only one fault and that was the bed. Very hard and uncomfortable.

Most things about the apartment was fairly good,but the central heating did not work all of the time and being January this was a problem,Although the staff were most helpful this caused a problem.Saying that we would not hesitate in returning as the location being close to Garichico and not too far from Puerto de la crus was a plus.

Guests are very much left to work it out for themselves. Arrived late at night, reception office locked. Wandered around and was 'found' by staff so we could check in. Apartment was basic. Very very hard mattress. Poor internet reception cover. The views of tenerifes coastline from the balcony were it's only positive feature, it was a very clean room and there was plenty of parking. Continental breakfast on offer in the morning 7 Euros. Adequate but with very limited choice.

Enjoyed our 3 nights. Accommodation a little tired. Bring a small multitool! Breakfast on offer at Euros 7 - basic but ok. Excellent sea views although north facing and so not much sun.

Quiet, family run apartments. Not the flashiest place, but comfortable. We enjoyed our stay there.

We had a quiet sunny week in December - ideal for visiting

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay with excellent accommodation and fine food in the linked Los Faroles restaurant. The staff were always helpful. Provided you have your own transport,the venue is well located for visiting the rest of Tenerife and just a few kilometres drive from the very attractive Garachico and not that far from Puerto de la Cruz. You do need to be fit to climb back from Icod itself if walking into town, but steep inclines in Tenerife are the norm ! A number of the fellow residents had chosen the venue for access to the hiking trails, but again the hotel works if you are just looking for a bit of pampering.

The family owned Estrella Del Norte was a very warm experience and had impressive service for such a short staff (the family). For those looking to get away from the city life and to be alone with your loved one, this place is the ultimate recommendation. The food at the hotel restaurant is some of the best food you will be able to try while on Tenerife and definitely is a hidden gem on the island. A pleasant walk to the center of Icod De Los vinos is a nice way to start a morning and there is a healthy amount of things to enjoy in the area.

lovely hotel...but car is nesesarry.cos there I nothing around..but everything is 30 min drive away..well worth going there..its cheap it has fantastic vie.very quet.we coming back again!
