Found the hotel to be a little faded, but comfortable. No problems with staff and an excellent breakfast (as in most Paradors). Dinner at the Parador Gil Blas opposite is an option, but is not to be recommended. The food was fine but the service about as bad as it gets - a gang of unsmiling waitresses who seem really... more

This is the cheaper of the two Paradors in Santillana del Mar, and it shows. The exterior is pleasant but the interior is gloomy. Our room was spacious and nicely furnished but with a tiny window which looked out onto a wall, giving the impression that you were in a basement. The bathroom was rather shabby - the hot water... more

I am quite confused about which of the two Paradors in Santillana some of the other contributors are talking about. We stayed in the 3 star Parador de Santillana, which was built as an annexe to the original 4 star Gil Blas nearby. In every website it is said to have been 'newly built' but we had one of their... more

First of all, I would like to point out that there are two Paradores in Santillana del Mar. The one I’m referring to is the three-star Parador (the other one is a four-star hotel named Parador Gil Blas). We stayed there one night, and we may say it was a wonderful experience. The hotel had a warm, rural style which... more

After reading the "dreadful" comments here below we wondered what was going to be our miserable fate at the Parador Gil Blas at Santillana del Mar where we had booked 4 nights. First we found immediately the entrance to the historic centre where we were halted by a policeman. It was fiesta de Santa Juliana, streets were cut off for... more

This was classed as a 4 star hotel on the Paradores website so, as we originally intended to spend all our holiday using Paradores, we booked this one. What a dreadful experience. We had to telephone for directions to find the place and the receptionist wasn't at all helpful either time. Fair enough I don't speak Spanish but you would... more
