Buena ubicación en un edificio antiguo y señorial

Muy buena ubicación en mitad de la calle principal que da a la Colegiata, edificio antiguo señorial con solera y muy buen cuidado, habitación muy amplia para tres personas y camas cómodas, baño con ducha que sale con mucha fuerza, limpieza.

Fascino medievale nel cuore del borgo
Pros:

Hotel spettacolare tutto medievale in pieno centro a Santillana del Mar. Stanza accogliente, bagno e doccia molto grandi. Super apprezzata la torta tipica di Santillana disponibile per la colazione.

Cons:

Distante poco meno di 10 minuti a piedi dal primo parcheggio disponibile, a pagamento.

Perfect hotel for visiting the beautiful caves (e.g. Altamira. Castillo) and museums nearby.
Pros:

Breakfast is good. Mainly consists of bread/toast and pastries, yoghurt and muesli. Fruits are also available. Rooms are clean. During our stay (off-peak season) not many guests were there. Only in the weekend the hotel was a bit busier. Also the town is more busy during weekends.

Cons:

No hot items are offered (like boiled eggs for instance) during breakfast. Since the hotel is a an old townhouse I think it might be more noisy when more guests are in.
