First and foremost, the staff were exceptional. Not only were they incredibly friendly, but they were also a wealth of knowledge when it came to local information. Whether I needed recommendations for dining, sightseeing, or exploring the area, they were always ready to provide the very best suggestions, making my stay even more memorable.
The lodge's location is another highlight. Situated right in the heart of the historical part of Santillana del Mar, it offered the perfect blend of convenience and authenticity. Despite being nestled in the midst of such rich history, the lodge still managed to provide ample parking spots, making it incredibly convenient for travelers like myself.
As for the accommodations themselves, they were nothing short of delightful. The building exuded historical charm, while the rooms were impeccably clean and comfortable. It was evident that great care had been taken to ensure guests' comfort, and I couldn't have asked for a better place to unwind after a day of exploring.
Overall, my experience at this lodge was nothing short of exceptional. From the friendly and knowledgeable staff to the convenient yet authentic location, it truly exceeded all my expectations. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable stay in Santillana del Mar.

Such a wonderful small hotel- great service and helpful staff!!!! Very clean, new renovations so bathrooms and bedrooms very fresh and tasteful decor.
Towels are huge and excellent!

Great breakfast options- locally made cakes/ toast/ fruit/croissants/ excellent coffee machine (has chocolate option). They will make you eggs and bacon (pancetta) for $2 € extra.
Highly recommend
It is by the main road into Santillana del Mar- so if vehicles bother you bring ear plugs. Not much traffic at night.

Really lovely building, felt very authentic. The pool was an added bonus. The room was big and had good facilities, the bed was very comfortable. Was a stone's throw from Santillana del mar, just outside of the village with parking. The breakfast for 10 euro was really good, you really got you're money's worth. Would really recommend this hotel, exceptional value for money. Staff were really nice and it's easy to visit surrounding towns.

This is a beautiful little medieval town with cobbled streets and impressive ancient buildings. A central feature is the large cathedral of Colegiata of St. Juliana, where you can visit the cloisters or attend Catholic mass. It stands in a square which is bordered by an art museum (Jesus Otero). A few cobbled streets run off the square, with plenty of restaurants and hotels to choose from. They are proud of their cheese and other local produce, so there are several shops dedicated to this. The Conventa Clarisas (convent of the poor Clares) is also very charming and is famous for its pastries for sale. We stayed in the beautiful Hotel Casa del Marques, whose staff were very friendly and welcoming, in a well-appointed and spacious room with large comfortable bed, seating areas and ensuite, all in keeping with the charming classic style of the hotel. We also spent a night at the Hotel los Infantes, which is impressively grand. It is easy to access this small town on foot, but it is possible to drive through the cobbled streets and there is a public car park which is free. The town is not actually on the coast, but is 10 minutes' drive from pretty local beaches.

This is a must-see, very beautiful town.
This is a must-see, very beautiful town. It is close to the Altamira Caves, although we decided not to visit them. We ate in a little restaurant at the square and the food was incredible and very cheap. We got to Santillana del Mar by car and it was easy to find, parking is available and overnight parking was free.

Santillana del Mar is a well preserved historic town in beautiful setting. Lovely to walk the cobbled streets and soak in the ambiance of the old town. The Catholic Church was really interesting as was local museum- downside was no English signage in either.
Barely 2km from town is the astounding Cave of Altamira and museum. They have protected these prehistoric caves by building a museum containing an accurate replica of the caves and artwork. That alongside a fascinating exhibition of the era concerned made for a compelling visit. In high season, best to get there early as there are limited numbers going through the museum. Lovely walking through area and viewing (from distance) original cave entrance. Beautifully maintained and very helpful staff. Information in Spanish & English.
Multitude of cafe/restaurants in old town with great food

This place is unique, as are each of the houses / places to stay - so much character! The church of Santa Juliana is a gem, and the 12th century cloister is amazing. The village is a lovely blend of culture and country - incredible architecture and free-range chickens / horses. Altogether delightful!

Santillana del Mar is a beautiful village with some lovely buildings but is leaning towards being overly touristy and much of what was on sale was repetitive and not great quality.
However, it has a superb ceramics shop - if you are interested in lovely pieces then do visit ARPA.Also a lovely little leather goods sho[ and a couple of decent jewellers .

Breakfast was excellent. Staff were very helpful. Everything was spotless with great attention to detail including the garage! Very comfy bed. A few minutes walk to the centre of Santillana del mar.

Lovely looking property with country views to the village.
Run by very friendly and helpful people.
Room was clean and comfortable with a great shower.
Would definitely stay again.
Nice quirky hotel just outside the old part of the town. Easy to walk into the town and explore. Excellent final stop on a motorcycle tour of Northern Spain / Portugal and final stop before Santander ferry which is half an hour along the motorway. Plenty of available parking, decent meal.
Absolutely gorgeous and spacious historic home. One receives a warm and gracious welcome from the lovely owners. The numerous sitting rooms in the Hotel are beautifully decorated and the breakfast is delicious. I would give it a 15 out of 10 if I could!!
This is a beautiful hotel set right in the heart of Santillana del Mar . The little patio garden where we had breakfast was just idyllic . The staff were lovely and friendly . The hotel itself is beautifully decorated with lots of attention to detail .
Wonderful staff, comfortable beds, great bathroom, attractive room and a lovely place to sit outside in the front of the hotel. The grounds were beautiful with flowers, etc. Parking was right there and easy to access.
Beautiful room on a lovely rural area, peace and quiet just a few steps from Santillana del Mar. Liliana (the manager) is super friendly and accommodating to every need. Breakfast is great. 100% recommended
Lovely, quiet hotel within walking distance to the old town. Very friendly and helpful staff. Has a tree house with cozy wicker loveseats. Perfect spot for reading or a nap!
What a beautiful, historic hotel! I especially loved the garden areas and fireplaces for drinks and gorgeous reading spots! All of the staff was so lovely and charming.
Fantastic location, helpful and welcoming staff, comfortable room, generous breakfast. Offers a home-like atmosphere but with the professionalism of a well-run hotel.
Very friendly staff, clean room, two minutes walking from the pedestrian area of Santillana del Mar, 4 minutes by car to the museum of Altamira, simple breakfast.
I selected this hotel because it looked very quaint and Hospederia Santallina was quaint. The old walls were exposed and you got a feel for the age of the city.
