Breakfast was delicious and they left the facility open for us even as we arrived at 10:30am very appreciated! They let us check in late as well without any issue. Very much appreciated the staff and location.

Well conserved traditional house in the center of the villa

Beautiful location and very friendly staff but incredibly noisy, low standards of decoration, no AC... it was very difficult to rest since you could hear people having showers, getting in and out of the room, even using plugs on the wall. And the room was too expensive for this to be acceptable.

Catarina

The building appeared to be old. It is very well kept and furnished with antiques and items that perfectly fit the period and location. The bedroom has a similar style but the bathroom has been upgraded and is quite comfortable. Bedroom and bathroom have large windows making the room quite comfortable. The hotel is about 2-3 blocks from public parking behind the tourist office so easy to park and walk even with luggage. Breakfast was fine ... nothing to write about but adequate. The concierge staff was very friendly and very helpful.

Wonderful old palace right in the middle of the village of Santillana, but not at all noisy. Our room was enormous, with a Juliet balcony and lovely views of the old houses and countryside beyond. Very friendly staff, excellent breakfast and value for money. Would definitely recommend.

This hotel was AMAZING! An old palace, it certainly gave the Parador a run for its money, even if it was smaller. Full of history, just a fabulous place to stay in what turned out to be a really unique, interesting village - would recommend hotel and location to anyone. Really good value for money in what was a fantastic experience.

The tile floor in the bathroom was very slippery, which is how I injured myself and could not ride for the day. But slippery tile floors seem to be the norm everywhere, not just at this hotel.
Beautiful building, fun to be right in the heart of the old city. Helpful staff. We were able to store our bikes easily. They gave us good bar and restaurant suggestions. I was unable to bike the next day and they arranged transport for me and my bike to the next destination.
