Spa is gorgeous and well worth the €18 - make sure you reserve!
Walk into Santillana del Mar from the hotel -it’s a fascinating medieval town. Also lovely early in the morning to run around.
Dinner was gorgeous - portions are huge so don’t over order! We shared padron peppers, entrecôte and mixed salad.
Breakfast was amazing and again well worth the €12.

Overnight stop

Lovely hotel within easy walking distance of the very pretty village. The hotel has a Spa (18€ extra charge) and an out door pool We had dinner at the hotel which was good. Breakfast was pretty standard. We only had one night here before catching the ferry from Santander, which was an easy 30 minute drive away.

Highly Recommended

Have now stayed at this lovely hotel 3 times which says it all. Such interesting decor including the vintage bikes and immaculately tended gardens. Free gym and outside pool though charge made for spa pool.
Friendly obliging staff, enough English spoken to get by. Dinner is especially good value as it includes a very acceptable bottle of San Marcos red and a litre of water. Menu maybe a bit repetitive but nobody will leave the dining room hungry! Breakfast selection also excellent and varied. Brilliant new coffee machine.
Rooms of a good size, very clean and beds comfortable. Plenty of parking spaces.
Within a short stroll of the village centre - wear comfortable shoes as streets are cobbled. The church with its large tableau in the cloisters is well worth the €3 entrance fee.
Incidentally it took us all of 23 minutes to drive to the port at Santander so a perfect choice after arrival or before departure on the ferry.
Finally it is superb value for money.

Great motorcycle touring hotel base.

Fantastic hotel ideally located and just a few minutes’ walk to bars and restaurants in Santillana del Mar. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The rooms are large and even with no air-con are not over warm. Breakfast is good and plentiful. The owner is into classic cars and motorcycles. Car parking is charged but if you’re on a motorcycle as we were then you get to park in the underground secure car park for free.l

Spa and Foodie Trip

I've stayed twice now, and the hotel has improved. The Spa has an adfitio al 2 d outdoor pool and ja uzzi, very modern and tre dy! Also a small gym. The rooms are fine, lovely bayhrooms, but slightly average accommodation. Breakfast is VERY high carb, and real, fresh juice would ha e been nice rather than ehat is on offer.
Bar needs dome variety, maybe a cocktail list could be added?
Otherwise, all very nice.

Quant and Quirky

This was a very comfortable hotel within walking distance of Santillana old town which is a very quaint medieval city. We used it as a base to explore other attractions including the ancient cave sights, the Gaudi house at Cosillanos and the Peaks of Europe. The hotel is quirky with old motorbikes on display. The rooms are big with separate bathrooms and entranceways..

We stayed 2 nights in this hotel on a recent trip to Santillana. The hotel is nicely situated just outside the town- about 5 mins walk but yet in the countryside. It's very clean with friendly and helpful staff.it has lovely pool area outside which is well maintained and was a blessing in the hot weather. However we were v disappointed in the quality and choice of food in the restaurant both for an evening meal and for breakfast. Our room did not have air conditioning and no fans were available. We felt the hotel lived up to a four star rating in every other way except for these 2 things.

Beatiful kind of Small luxury Hotel

Excellent Hotel by the road, a bit noisy but at night is peaceful, countryside noise wakes you up with a roster singing in the fresh morning, simple but nice breakfast buffet for 7 euros is convenient, walking distance from Old Town Santillana del Mar, was an amazing surprise. Hotel owner has a beautiful collection of antique and new cars. Nice SPA, like a dream, with unexpected massage treatments, really good, only you have to pay to use indoor pool, is understandable but expensive if you have kids (is not an hotel for kids).

Excellent Hotel very clean and the staff could not do enough for you, my only gripe was that they wanted 5 Euros per night for parking but when I challenged them about it they did not question it and did not charge for the parking, very close to the village which was very quaint.
Food was excellent and well presented.

Me aloje en los apartamentos, si bien el lugar es normal (no tiene nada de asombroso) en la habitación se escucha demasiado el ruido de la calle y las otras habitaciones, así como el pasillo. El desayuno es completo, pero los productos no son de primera calidad, sino normales. Nada que destacar. Está bien por 12 EU por persona. El lugar no es malo, pero yo no lo volvería a repetir.

Hotel muy cercano al centro de Santillana del Mar, con arquitectura exterior impactante.

El buffet correcto, aunque estuvimos en hora de máxima asistencia. Spa con dos jacuzzi, piscina interior y sauna: suficiente para una estancia corta. Estuvimos en el edificio del spa, habitaciones por aisladas entre ellas, pero con terraza al jardín y muy amplias. Muy recomendable!

Im Doppelzimmer je zwei große Betten, geräumiges Bad mit Wanne. Fensterläden aus Holz innen. Zimmer sind hellhörig.Gutes W-LAN. Parkplätze direkt am Hotel.Frühstück ist gut. Personal sehr freundlich.

El Hotel es bonito y tiene unas instalaciones recomendables, sin embargo, en las habitaciones del edificio \"La posada\" no tienen aire acondicionado, y cuando hace calor es difícil conciliar el sueño. Puedes elegir abrir la ventana y entonces lo molesto es el ruido de la carretera y en general de la calle

Использовали отель как стоповер при поездке по региону. В целом, оказалось неплохо. Но немного заношенный + жуткая звукоизоляция в номерах, так что слышен чих через 4 стены. В отеле есть СПА с бассейнами, сауной и ваннами (но недешевый, обязательны шапки, тапки и полотенца). Очень красивая деревушка рядом - редкая находка для любителей средневековой архитектуры. До нее можно дойти пешком. Там же лучше и питаться - очень вкусно и относительно недорого. Хорошее местное вино. В отеле мы еду не брали. Парковка ночью платная - 5 евро. Ресепшн нормальный, англоговорящий. Бесплатный интернет работал. Сейф в номере был поломан. Разбираться уже не стали, т.к., на одну ночь.
