What guests think

At Parador de Santillana Gil Blas, guests highlight its historic charm and central old-town setting, comfortable and often spacious rooms with tasteful updates, generally friendly, helpful service, and convenient parking arrangements, making for a comfortable, memorable stay.

The location is praised as walkable and picturesque, though driving in on narrow cobbled streets can be tricky and one reviewer found the town too touristy. Several reviewers describe large bathrooms, balconies, and period decor alongside modern comforts, while a few note dated elements or limited in-room amenities like the lack of a kettle. On-site meals, especially dinner, receive frequent praise, but feedback on breakfast varies, with occasional complaints about cost and organization. Best for travelers who want an atmospheric base in Santillana del Mar.

Lovely medieval town with many restaurants. Navigation into the town is a little difficult but the parador has garage and private parking. 30 minutes from Santander ferry and highly recommended to start or finish a holiday to this area.

This is a lovely old hotel with fabulous grand old rooms. Lots of charm. Bit tricky to drive to, last part of journey is on narrow cobbled streets full of visitors, but take your time and you’ll be fine. Hotels in a lovely big square with parking opposite and easy to get into. We had a lovely meal in the restaurant, picked up breakfast from a lovely little panaderia two minutes walk away and the lovely village is literally in the doorstep.

Beautiful room with two balconies and lovely furnishings. The bed was large and comfortable, and the bathroom was cavernous. The hotel is in a wonderfully decorated historic building in the center of town. A perfect place from which to enjoy Santillana Del Mar. The only point against them is that there is no coffee maker or kettle in the room. Parking available in their lot for a small charge.

Santillana del mar is a fantastic medieval town and the parador hotel is right in the heart of it, with a building matching the sUrroundings inside and out. We loved the rooms with balconies overlooking the coirtyard and huge shuttered windows. A wonderful place to explore on foot, and the nearby altamira caves. We also visited comillas- another great place to explore, with a whimsical house designed by anton gaudi.
