Villameriel Hotels from S$87

"We chose this hotel because it was an hour from Santander and just off our main route from Portugal to the ferry port for the UK. Lovely town with impressive old centre and lovely riverside walks. Lively market the day we arrived (Tuesday). Be aware that self-parking is actually free on-street parking but area seems very secure so we left most of our extensive contents in car and had no problem. Also,hotel restaurant non-functioning so sought dinner in town and nowhere open until 9pm. But...

"La tercera cama para nosotros fue muy incomoda,habría sido mejor las 3 al mismo nivel,escaletas inseguras para subir a la cama abuhardillada"

"This is a plesant hotel in the old city with many options for food & drinks although not alwayas open (in May) when needed. The main problem was getting in: although a pleasant reception exists, when we arrived, no-one was there just a message on the door with spanish phone numbeerst to call, but without the international code. We were rescued by a fellow guest who was able to call the number and get instructions, but it was pretty frustrating. After that all was well."

"Anna our host was excellent and welcoming . The rural hotel is fully air conditioned so no probs in v hot weather . Nice bar in the “cellar” and prices are very reasonable - we paid apprx £122 for the bed room, pre dinner drinks and dinner with a bottle of local wine and breakfast = result !! "
