Chris United States of America

Location was perfect and the staff were great. Old quirky hotel with a nice little restaurant downstairs. If you get parking out front it is very convenient.

Nick Australia

I liked almost everything. The hotel is elegant, as if belonging to a village nobleman. Very charming rooms full of antique furniture and beautiful paintings. Comfortable rooms. Good service. Great food. The breakfast buffet is top.

José United States of America

We stay in the hotel Santiallana for 3 days on our road trip through the North of Spain. It is not bad as a basis of day trips - the highways are close and the Altarmira cave museum is a few minutes drive (or 30min walk), although the village Santillana del Mar has become quite a touristic village (you have by far more souvenir shops village than any other types of shops, it has basically turned into a living museum). The Santillana hotel is in a very nice old historic building, the rooms are nicely decorated, with good beds and modern comfort but also containing the one or other old vintage furniture. We liked it very much. Staff is super friendly. Positive surprise was that the hotel - contrary to what was written in booking.com - actually had free parking (something to appreciate in this tourist-town where there is no free street parking) - there are a handful of parking spots at the street in front of the hotel and a garage with about 10 places at the back.

Reinhard Switzerland

Extremely hospitable staff, charming hotel with memorabilia representative of old Spain, including an incredible clock collection. Could not be better situated, right opposite the pedestrian entrance to the old city.

Duhl United States of America

Loved that it felt like walking into a museum or traveling back in time. Extremely friendly staff was a big plus.

Desiree Spain

Superb location. Old world charm. Perfect little hotel.

Gavin Ireland

Jolley United Kingdom

Pleasant hotel close to the centre of this attractive old town and handy for visiting the Altimira caves and the many lovely beaches nearby. Charming and helpful staff.
