The location serves as an excellent base to explore Cantabria with easy access to nearby towns, beaches and points of interest, making it well-connected yet far enough to enjoy peace and relaxation.
The surroundings are highlighted as particularly beautiful, comprising valleys, mountains and the sea, all contributing to a perfect environment for rest and rejuvenation. The hotel's placement along the Camino de Santiago adds to its appeal for pilgrims who require no detours. The exceptional views from the rooms and the terrace, which include splendid sunsets and stunning landscapes, enhance the overall restful experience and leave a lasting impression on visitors.
Breakfast
However, there were also positive remarks. Some guests appreciated the option to choose from several breakfast alternatives and found the quality to be good, describing it as very good or even spectacular. Freshly baked goods, such as homemade cake, doughnuts and yogurt, received particular praise from some. Despite differing opinions, several reviews emphasized that the breakfast, when prepared and served well, met their expectations in terms of quality-price ratio. Overall, while the breakfast at Hotel Finca "Posada El Solar" has room for enhancement in terms of variety, quantity and timing, it has managed to satisfy some guests with its homely and well-prepared options.
Dinner
However, there are consistent concerns about the high prices of food and beverages with several guests feeling that the value did not match the cost. Some found the food service disappointing and mentioned that certain dishes lacked flavor. Despite the quality of local products used in breakfast and dinner tapas, some guests reported that the food was either too expensive or not up to their expectations. Additionally, logistical issues, such as the necessity of reservations for dinner and the bar not being always open, were noted.
In summary, while the hotel's burgers and gin and tonics are highly recommended, potential diners should be mindful of the higher prices and varying opinions on the overall dining experience.
Rooms
However, not all rooms are created equal. While some guests found their accommodations spacious and cozy, others mentioned issues such as cramped attic spaces with low ceilings, musty smells and inadequate soundproofing. Despite some rooms being deemed aesthetically pleasing, functionality seemed lacking in aspects like missing shower curtains and poor wall insulation.
Cleanliness varied across reviews with some guests appreciating the attention to hygiene and neatness, while others noted areas needing improvement. The whimsical decor was well-received for its originality, despite some areas appearing dated and in need of an update.
Comfort in sleeping situations ranged widely with some rooms boasting large, comfortable beds, while others featured beds described as too firm. Noise and temperature control were additional concerns with some rooms experiencing overheating or issues with mosquitoes when windows were left open.
Overall, the guest experience at Hotel Finca "Posada El Solar" is a blend of charming and unique elements mixed with occasional inconveniences related to room design and maintenance. Guests can expect a friendly and cozy environment, though some attention to detail could enhance the stay further.
Beds
However, comfort is not consistent across all beds. Some guests reported issues such as combined double beds, which resulted in gaps and discomfort. There were also mentions of beds with old blankets and quilts, noisy extra beds and pillows that were not up to par. Additionally, a few reviews noted uncomfortable mattresses leading to back pain and other sleep disruptions.
Despite the comfortable beds, the reviews indicate some concerns with noise insulation as well as outdated furnishings and decor in need of modernization. The hotel's favorable location and tranquil environment were appreciated for relaxation, but soundproofing issues were commonly cited, affecting the overall sleeping experience.
Cleanliness
However, there were several points of concern that should not be overlooked. Issues such as dampness in the rooms, poor cleanliness in both the rooms and dining hall, along with occasional unpleasant odors in the bathrooms, were mentioned by some guests. Instances of dirty bedspreads, outdated amenities and even other guests' hair left behind also detracted from the hotel's overall appeal.
While the cleaning service was typically efficient, starting as early as 9 in the morning, some guests mentioned specific areas needing more attention, like dusty floors and spiderwebs. Despite the mix of positive and negative feedback, the hotel's cleanliness generally made a good impression with friendly staff and a cozy atmosphere helping to balance out the hygiene inconsistencies.
Staff
However, there are some concerns noted regarding reception service during peak times with some guests experiencing dry or unprofessional interactions. Despite these occasional shortcomings, the general consensus points towards a very friendly and attentive team.
Guests appreciate the personal treatment and the effort made by the staff to ensure a pleasant stay. Clean and comfortable rooms, along with a charming and well-located hotel, add to the positive remarks. The welcoming and cordial treatment significantly enhances the appeal of this cozy establishment.
Rooms with Jacuzzi / Hot-Tub
However, several reviews point out issues with the jacuzzi's functionality, including lack of bubbles, insufficient strength and excessive noise. Some guests found the whirlpool tub to be in poor condition and dirty, noting that the bathroom overall was only moderately clean. Additionally, the hot tub of one room was described as being 23 years old with chips and signs of age.
In summary, while the hot tubs and whirlpool bathtubs add a luxurious touch to the rooms at Hotel Finca Posada El Solar, their inconsistent performance and maintenance may not meet all guests' expectations.
