Hotel Valentin

A treasured gem just 65 miles from Santander so easy for access to ferryport . The rooms are spacious & there is plenty of hot water to enjoy. There is central heating in the rooms. The staff are extremely helpful & friendly , speaking some English. The restaurant opens at 9 in the evening but the quality of the food is worth the wait. The staff go out of their way to cater for any dietary requirements with nothing being too much trouble - the waiting staff speak some English & are super helpful. Breakfast is served by friendly male staff in the cafeteria & is perfectly adequate.

This is a lovely hotel with every available facility required for a weary traveller. Its in an easy location just off A67 so only 1 hour from Santander. Its a very pretty historic town with a pretty river setting just off the main square The staff were extremely helpful & spoke good English. The rooms were spacious although on the basic side, they were very clean. There is a good restaurant serving menu del dia from 9 at night & the cafeteria where breakfast is eaten, was well staffed & clean. This is a perfect location for travellers who want a convenient stop-over. Our only complaint, which the managment could not deal with effectively was the noise generated by a group of Portuguese students who happened to be staying at the same time We would use this hotel again.

We stayed at this lovely hotel because of a recommendation, and we are very grateful to our friend and want to pass it on. Aguilar de Campoo is a very pretty river town to visit, with its own castle, enchanting architecture, great street market and interesting history. We were on our way to the Santander ferry, and it’s a great stopover one hour away, but will definitely revisit this hotel when we return to Spain because it’s a great hotel to base yourself. We were in a newly renovated room with balcony and a lovely garden view. The staff are very warm and welcoming, the restaurant is fabulous and serves an excellent 3 course menu of the day with bread and a bottle of wine for 14 euros. They kindly offer a translation in English, which was gratefully received, as, despite my best efforts to learn Spanish, menus can be a bit of a mine field! I write this review while I’m still here because they have given us a special finish to our journey through Portugal and Spain. Thank you to the staff of the Valentin hotel. We will return, as I’m sure many of your previous guests do also. Muchas gracias , Johanna & Paul Xx
