“The place is very well decorated and the staff is great. Parador standards. Top-notch. Yes we had an issue with the bathroom, but this can be easily fixed. All the rest was good. Special mention to our waiter, Israel that is maybe the best waiter that we have ever met. That guy deserves a raise, no matter how much money he makes now.”

“Nice property with historical feel and atmosphere. Easy to access. Staff is very very welcoming and helpful. Fine breakfast - even though a bit traditional - with plenty of options.”

“stayed after evening arrival by ferry in santander, well worth the drive from the ferry port and much better value than the hotels around santander itself”

“very nice building, friendly staff, very comfortable and spacious rooms, great dinner”

“spacious grand building with very pleasant atmosphere and great customer service from all the staff. restaurant offering wouldn’t suit all tastes but the seafront bars and restaurants are only a 10 minute drive away. Also very convenient for the ferries”

“Both the breakfast and especially the evening meal were superb. One of the best meals i've had for a while. I only had a soup for the starter, but it was so tasty I could easily have had another bowl, another piece of bread and have been very happy indeed.”

“Room was spacious and excellent. The breakfast was great.”

“The location was excellent and the Parador was beautifully appointed and clean. The food was very good indeed although we did feel we were rushed a little at Dinner. The staff were very welcoming and parking convenient.”

“The property is very good and in a lovely setting. It was not seen in it’s best light because the weather was heavy rain so we couldn’t explore the gardens and surrounds. The room was very comfortable and very clean with a good outlook over the central garden. The restaurant was very well presented but the food selection was a little disappointing.”

“All lovely. Only four guests so quiet but obviously delighted they were open. Only downside was the hideous pillows!”
