this was a gem of a place to stay. An old medieval convent dressed with antique furniture and a beautiful common area to sit and enjoy a glass of wine. Perfect romantic location.

Quaint hotel
Parking limited and our car was bumped. We asked if we could borrow an iron to just refresh some clothes and was told there wasnt one !! it's a lovely quaint hotel with an easy few steps to the heart of Santillana. Breakfast was plentiful

Great hotel, terrific location
Well it the Hotel Santillana was just great. The room was fine as even as a 'double' with the extra bed as we were three, we still had plenty of room. We didn't dine there apart from breakfast, but that was hearty with as much as you would want. The hotel's location, right at the starting point for the pedestrianised town, couldn't be better. The hotel itself has lots of very comfortable public sitting areas, all delightfully furnished and full of antiques, especially clocks! I would thoroughly recommend it.

Great hotel, Friendly staff, love the very spanish deco. Will stay again and again. On our last visit the hair dryer and shower head holder was faulty. But did not disappoint us on previous visits. Recommended.

Location of the hotel was excellent and we were able to park right outside although there did not appear to be many parking spaces. Receptionist was very helpful and her English was great. Overall a lovely place to stay and I would stay again.

Great price, not so great condition.
Santillana is a beautiful town and the hotel proudly bears the name of Museum. However, time has taken its toll and the condition is less than perfect. If you want to spend some quiet time alone, this is not the place to do it! Background noise from adjoining rooms is very high and in our case, the bathroom shower fell apart the second day. Price is very good, but the hotel could do with some refurbishment.

Central location in prettiest Spanish village
Hotel in historic school building on busy corner in village. Rooms quite small but adequate and clean. Hotel beautifully furnished with antique furniture with lots of lounge areas to read and relax. Computers also available for use by guests. Breakfast was a good continental with the best tortilla I have ever tasted.

Hotel Santillana
We stayed overnight (before starting a motor tour of parts of Spain), having arrived in nearby Santander from the UK in the early evening. The hotel was a pleasant place to stay, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The food in the bar was of very good quality and value. The only (very minor) "downside" was that in spite of GPS we found the hotel hard to find - because nowhere on its frontage does the word "Museo" appear. (Some of the locals also appeared baffled - even though ther were within a few metres of the hotel).Perhaps its adverts etc. should refer to "Hotel Santillana" which would be quickly recognised.

Beautiful hotel off the beaten track
I decided on this hotel because I didn't want to stay in Santander centre and this isn't too far away. The public spaces are filled with museum quality furniture, books and art and the architecture is superb. The staff are wonderful: polite and friendly, and they did their best to understand / help me with my Spanish. My room was very clean and quiet and I had the most comfortable bed! Breakfast was fine and the coffe excellent! I would definitely stay here again if I'm in the area: extremely satisfied with my stay.

2 dogs excepted! a gem of a find for us.
I needed somewhere to stay the night before my ferry crossing at santander, but i was having problems, finding accomodation, as i have 2 dogs. Then i came across this hotel, so helpful, and nothing too much trouble. They even reserved us a space for our van and plant trailer.... it only takes 30 mins to get to the ferry port from the hotel.. The hotel, is a bit dated, but clean, and the showers were powerful and hot, exactly what we needed after a long days drive. I would deffinately use again..

Excellent quirky hotel in beautiful village, staff friendly also pet friendly and a short 20 mins drive to ferry terminal. Will definitely use again when traveling from/to Santander.

would like to have stayed longer
we both loved the hotel, and the area,could be a little difficult for parking, so we drove around the corner to a huge car park (2 euro),and walked back 2 mins,dog was welcome, wish we could have stayed longer,didnt want to stay in Santander ,so had this short drive to Santillana worth the 20 mins or so drive off the ferry.The only thing was we looked for the hotel museo! but no one knew it by that name ,it was just hotel santillana,will go again definatly

Lovely Hotel, great location
Lovely,quaint, but very comfortable hotel. Staff very attentive and helpful. Stayed in early July and did not notice lack of air conditioning. Location slap bang in middle of fascinating town, lots of interesting shops and restaurants nearby. Visit the nearby museum of the 15,000 her old cave paintings, free on Sundays but big queue for tickets if you do not get there early. Quite near Port of Santander if coming off ferry and need first night stay. Hotel pet friendly as well
