Hotel Colegiata

If you are lucky you have a room with a view which is nice, but that's the only positive I can think of. Rooms on the 2nd floor are dark and hardly have daylight.

Poor quality of restaurant service, not very clean and rather small rooms, very poor breakfast. This is not a three star hotel; they have stolen their third star and should improve to keep two star. This is rather a guesthouse than a hotel.

Staff friendly and helpful., and good breakfast for class of hotel.Hotel has nice poistion looking over the village and the countryside.

Rooms were somewhat tired , and their was no air conditioning, this wasn't a problem in mid september, but could have been an issue in august and july

Location was just perfect, on a hillside overlooking the beautifully preserved Santillana del Mar, and just a few miles from the scenic coastline and a series of lovely beaches. Taking this into account and the height of the season, we considered the bed & breakfast rate to be fair value for money. Not wishing to venture out in the rain, we eat 'in' on our second evening and although the menu was relatively limiting and the restaurant almost deserted, we were very pleasantly surprised by the high quality of the food served. The waiter/barman provided excellent service.

Our room smelt a bit of damp - most probably due to poor ventilation in the bathroom, which itself needed a bit of updating. We would have asked for a move had we been there more than the 2 nights. Inspite of check out stated as from 7 am, there was no receptionist on duty before 9 am, so a number of guests like us were left hanging about, despite other staff were in evidence. We may have only been delayed 15 minutes or so but had we been aware, we would have made alternative arrangements the night before.
