Recommend for a brief stopover

Charming hotel, friendly staff, perfectly located near attractions such as the cave museum and a delightful terrace garden with atmospheric dining options.

Can’t fault the property in any way.

I especially loved the antique furnishings throughout Hotel Altamira, which added a warm and inviting atmosphere. The common areas were beautifully decorated, enhancing the historical feel. The staff made us feel welcomed and comfortable during our stay.

More accessibility options for seniors would be appreciated.

This was just an optimal selection for resting at all in Santillana del Mar with best value for money ratio. The breakfast was filling and plentiful, just what we needed to start our day. Request a room at the back for a quieter experience.

Unique atmospheric experiences from structure

The atmosphere in the hotel was enchanting, filled with

antique decor that truly transported me back in time. I did, however, find the stairs to be quite a challenge, particularly with luggage. Overall, the stay was memorable, and I appreciated the friendly staff who made me feel at home.

The hotel boasts a charming, historical atmosphere with lovely communal areas and friendly staff. However, the noise from the street and creaky floors made it hard to sleep, and the minimal bathroom amenities were rather disappointing.

I loved my stay at Altamira! The historical charm of the building captivated me, and the staff exuded warmth and attentiveness. However, I did hear some noise from the plumbing at night. Overall, a fantastic experience filled with art and character.

Room smelled musty, but breakfast was enjoyable.

The Altamira is a beautifully restored historical hotel that offers comfortable and cozy accommodations. The staff was exceptionally welcoming and provided efficient assistance with my work-related requests. They also offered clear instructions for parking and luggage drop-off, which was very helpful given the restricted car access. The atmosphere is charming, and the breakfast was enjoyable, with a variety of options available.

Some breakfast items were a little stale.

will be back

The building is a cool, old medieval palace, giving off serious historic vibes. My room had a comfy bed, flat-screen TV, and a private bathroom with free toiletries. Breakfast was a treat with freshly baked croissants and organic juices. Enjoyed dinner in the garden while a violinist played nearby. It was just lovely!
