| We wish we had known just how wonderful this hotel was before we booked in for one night. If we had known we would have stayed longer! The reception we received was friendly and efficient. Our room was spacious. warm and comfortable, with a lovely view of the garden. Once the window shutters were closed there was absolute silence in the room. The public rooms had a wonderful decor and the food in the restaurant was delicious! Th hotel is located on the Town Square right in the heart of Santillana. It is not the easiest location to find, but once yo are there the car parking is very good. Our favourite Parador hotel is the Lerma Palace, but the Gil Blas is very high on our list and we are looking forward to our return visit. |

| It was a pleasure to stay at Gil Blas for one night on 12th September. Our welcome was warm, the room good and we had an excellent meal in the restaurant. Somewhere in the booking (probably my fault) two children were included-surprising as we had booked the golden days deal! This was sorted out and as far as I know no extra charge was made. |
