Good Value in Atmospheric Building

This was our second stay in the Altamira and our second good experience. The building is beautiful and well-maintained. Breakfast was plentiful with a good variety. While some might see the lack of in-room WiFi as a negative, this was a good reminder to get out of the room and explore the beautiful and unique town that surrounds it. It was easy to pull up in front to drop off and pick up luggage and it is just a few minutes from the municipal parking lot. We would definitely visit a third time!

Hotel was wonderful, quiet and clean and really gave you a feeling of staying in an historic place. Hotel restaurant food was not very good. Tasteless and served tepid. However their desserts were excellent and the restaurant patio is charming.

Lovely hotel in perfect location

We were made welcome on arrival and had a lovely room with a balcony overlooking main street. Santiliana is such a quaint place. This hotel captures some of the history with beamed ceilings and creaky floors but modern facilities. In central location with parking nearby in local car park. Lots of restaurants and bars nearby to sit and enjoy local hospitality. Hotel staff pleasant and friendly. Good continental breakfast selection.

Beautiful hotel

I really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It is right in the center of the village, had breakfast included, and was just beautiful inside. It had everything that you need and our room had a nice bathroom. I would highly recommend.

The hotel folks are making the best of a challenging facility. This former castle has a number of practical challenges in serving as a hotel. The hotel Is on a Main Street so even though mostly traveled by foot, the noise is pronounced in the rooms. The WiFi does not penetrate the walls so a common area is where there is reception. The hallways and common areas are cold. The beds are adequate but not the luxury we are used to.

Great town to be in. Very interesting. Hotel has old world charm. Best to have a room away from the Main Street as people passing by late can be noisy.

Not great

Very old fashioned hotel. Staff seemed sad, not smiley and friendly. Our room 203 had a horrible smell, no wifi in rooms, breakfast awful. Only positives were location and communal seating areas.

An Amazing Hotel

Hotel Altamira is fantastic. It is about 3 kms from the Altamira Cave and Museum. The hotel is a restored 16th century palace and located in the heart of a restored medieval center. The staff are superlative. Breakfast is good, the rooms funky but comfortable. I stayed three days longer and would definitely go back!

Worth a Visit.

Hotel Altamira, is a medieval building decorated in a similar fashion. The staff were friendly, the room was pleasant and the whole building had a great historical feel to it. The continental breakfast included in the room price was the only real disappointment to an enjoyable stay in an interesting little village, however this would not be enough to detract us from staying here again.

Décevant

L’hôtel est bien situé, dans le style du village, la chambre assez grande et propre. Pour ce qui est du confort il est impossible de dormir avant 2h du matin. Le bruit du restaurant sous la chambre et le bruit de tous les résidents de l’hôtel. Aucune insonorisation, on entend tous les bruits des autres chambres. Pas de climatisation, 25 degrés dans la chambre. Le petit-déjeuner vraiment pas terrible. Des viennoiseries de la veille. Rapport qualité prix pas bon

Hotel muy bien situado y gente muy amable. Hace un poco de frio,ya que solo hay un radiador, y se escucha todo. Escuchaba a los de arriba constantemente. Las pisadas en el suelo, al ser de madera. Tenían niños y imposible descansar del ruido de la madera y golpes. El hotel es bonito, muy rústico y personal genial.
