I have stayed at the Hotel Alisa many times. It is pet friendly, which is vital for me, the location is perfect, being only 200 meters from the A1 road, I like to eat an early dinner in the bar and the food is good and always avaiable, the bar staff and the reception staff are always friendly and accomodating, the owners are usually around and are very helpful. Overall I rate this hotel very good for my purposes and am always dissapointed if the hotel is full and I have to make a reservation at another hotel in Lerma. The Alisa is the best for me on my journey through Spain.

Location is the main thing for me. I’m driving through Spain to reach one of the ferry ports. This hotel is on the edge of town and you can literally see the A1 from it, it that close. However you don’t get any no8se and I always get a good nights sleep. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. There is a restaurant on site and the evening meals are very good. It’s great to have a casual drink in the bar after a long days driving. Get up to a nice breakfast and your about 2 hours from Santander and 11/2 hours from Bilbao. If you want it’s just a short walk into the lovely town of Lerma and that’s worth a visit.

The decor is getting a bit dated.

3 course “set” evening meal in dining room, ok and value for money, waitress fantastic. Dining room not open for breakfast so had to made do with toast and jam from the bar area, asked for tea but got cold coffee. Only us there so he wasn’t rushed off his feet! Room spacious and comfy. Our 2 small dogs made welcome and excellent walk at side of hotel. Added bonus, secure underground car park for €7. Well worth peace of mind having a fully loaded car and top box, BMW 5 Series with narrow top box, about 1.84 height.

Breakfast

Convenience as straight off/on motorway on way to ferry. Staff were helpful and we arrived in time to get the three course meal inc. wine for €20 in the afternoon, available until 1600. For the price it was a good standard, so bear that in mind as it can be basic (e.g no kettle or coffee in the room, there is soap and shampoo and a hairdryer). There is a public bar, which seemed more lively than our last stay, serves food and you can buy local products.

Unfortunately our room was directly above the public bar.

Always a good/easy overnight stay at Hotel Alisa. Always use this hotel on way down or back from Southern Spain. Just off A1 motorway but medieval town with walks along the river. Hotel is basic but clean and friendly. Very pet friendly. Restaurant is always super-busy with locals so seems good but does not open in the evening until 9pm so as a solo traveller I don't use it. At the end of the day if you travel solo just with your dog like I do for 50 Euros per night roughly Hotel Alisa gives you everything you could ever want and I recommend it to anyone.

Nothing really. It's an older style hotel so if pushed I would say the 15" TV that sits right up in the corner of the room and is not really viewable from the bed as too small/old fashioned but that is a minor negative comment.

We have stayed before and like the hotel, it is comfortable and convenient, as well as good for the dog with a walk along the river. This time however, I accidentally left my quite expensive waterproof jacket hanging in the wardrobe when we left to continue our journey to Andalucia. The staff were extremely helpful and explained that I could arrange to have it couriered to our address in the South, and they packaged it ready for collection. I was very happy to get it back.

Nothing

For the dinner, bed & breakfast price everything was really good. Breakfast was only continental buffet plus warm tortilla. Dinner was very tasty with three courses plus a drink. Room and en-suite were very large. And hotel had heating on. Brilliant stay once again and very convenient, easy location with free parking.

Would have liked a cooked breakfast but cannot grumble- the continental breakfast was adequate.

Stopped at this hotel in December on our way down south from Santander & again yesterday on our return journey to Santander . We gave two dogs and this stop is ideal - just off the motorway and we and our dogs were roundly welcomed, dogs allowed in bar ! It’s not fancy , bit old fashioned but very comfortable beds and dinner was very good and great value . The town itself is worth having a Walk around - very interesting !

There was nothing we did not like !

Convenient for travelling north to Santander, very close to the motorway but no traffic noise. You can eat in the bar or wait for the dining room to open at 8.30pm. They accept pets and you can also take them to the bar.

Before I arrive the hotel kept asking me for credit card details although I had already paid in full and intimated that if I did not provide the details they 'might' cancel my reservation. Had to get Booking.com to sort it.

Clean friendly dog friendly hotel with large car park. Next to the river so easy access for a dog walk. You can take your dog into the bar. Rooms are basic but comfortable and adequate. We will use again.

Breakfast is not served until 8am and dinner not until 8.30pm (although you can get a small meal in the bar). We were using the hotel on our journey long journey back to England from Andalucia so we like an early start.
