The hotel is beautiful, and very convenient for the town. The seating area at the front of the property was very relaxing. The only negative would be the road was quite noisy at night.

This is a very nice place to stay on the edge of town. Nice and clean though our room was showing a few signs of wear and tear, only to be expected with constant use and maybe one or two less respecful guests? The staff are very polite and helpful. Bed was big and very comfortable. The hotel also has a cafe bar where breakfast is taken which was very good with plenty of buffet choice. There is available parking on site. The town is a historic tourist attraction with nearby ancient caves. The presence of tourists did not impact our stay due to the location of the hotel.

Es war alles super, bis auf die Lage des Zimmers. Zur Straße hinaus ist es einfach zu laut und das auch bis weit nach Mitternacht. Aber ansonsten gibt es wirklich nichts zu bemängeln: ein super Frühstück für spanische Verhältnisseund ein wirklich schön ausgestattetes Zimmer und ein sehr netter Service

Nos encantó la amabilidad y la buena disponibilidad de todo el personal, por hacer agradable la estancia. La verdad hemos estado súper a gusto, volveríamos con seguridad a este hotel. Aún que, si que es verdad que el mobiliario del hotel está algo anticuado y que el olor de la habitación era a madera húmeda. Pero todo eso se olvida con el buen trato de todos los del hotel. Gracias por hacer tan acogedora, cómoda y agradable (otra vez) la estancia

El alojamiento y el personal excelente. La habitación q nos ha tocado preciosa estilo vintage. La única salvedad q haría q es q el plato de ducha es muy resbaladizo y el aparador donde se dejan los champús es de cristal con puntas muy afiladas lo q puede provocar un desagradable accidente. Lo pongo pq yo me resbale y me pegue el codo contra el con la suerte de q no le di a la esquina

Great time in a small village

A trip go Spain is worth a trip to Santillana del Mar. It is only a daytrip but worth an overnight stay to have a quiet mini holiday. It is a small village with nice restaurants. Go one time and you'll be back; I did.
