Full test review
When I arrived at Hotel Colonial de Santillana, i was welcomed by a friendly lad who booked me in with no delays. He spoke perfect English as well, which made it a bit easier. Where I had a bicycle , i was asked if i wanted to place it inside the hotel which is a really nice touch. The bike was placed in the store /wash room.
The reception area has a corner with comfortable seating allowing you to relax after a busy day.

I had booked a single room which was nicely decorated in a green and white colour scheme with hints of wood giving it the warmth and coziness it needs. The windows are fitted with blinds which allow for total black-out of the room.
The bed is high quality where the comfortable mattress provides you with a great sleep. A flatscreen television is also provided with a multitude of channels.
The bathroom was very clean and had a large walk-in shower and soaps and shampoo is provided.

The restaurant has plenty of choice. I selected a Galician stew which was nicely prepared.
Breakfast is served early and is very complete. From the fresh juices to the bread, there is plenty of choice. There is a meat and cheese platter, but also sweet bread spreads like honey and jam.
I can highly recommend hotel Colonial de Santillana.
