The room was comfortable and had everything we needed. It was within walking distance of the Wharf of the Caravels. The cafe, especially breakfast in the morning was a nice surprise

The reception was round the back. The door was locked and it took a while for the receptionist to come to the door. It was not a good start. There was no obvious vent in the bathroom, though it did manage to dry and freshen itself. There were no kettle or cups in the room. The staff were unaware of the jewel on their doorstep, namely The Wharf of the Caravels. They said we would have to drive there whereas there is an obvious footpath. They said we would have to lunch in Palos de la Frontera whereas there is a good simple restaurant in the museum.

Very reasonably priced and well located, just out of the city of Huelva. Perfect for an overnight stay for a single person or couple. The staff was very amicable and helpful.

The shower didn't have much light, which could make it difficult to take a bath at night. It also had steps to climb which can be difficult for children and older people.

It was close to the port and was clean and comfortable.

Nothing - we weren’t there long enough to see anything other than our room.

Love the location , nice views and gated parking..

This is primarily a wedding venue and the staff are not really interested in meeting the needs of hotel guests

Probably the best varnished staircase in Europe with a stunning chandelier in the middle

This was not my first stay at Hotel Santa María, nor will it be my last. Its location close to Huelva, close to the Canary Islands ferries, close to the the beautiful beaches of Mazagón and not far from 'Parque Nacional de Doñana' makes it a favourite of mine. The hotel itself is quiet, has ample parking space free of charge and a friendly receptionist, as well as other helpful staff. The rooms that I know off are all equipped with A/C, Four rooms even have a small terrace facing the river which provides a beautiful view on the city of Huelva, especially at sunset.

Any downside? Yes, the TV-screen, in my room, was in size smaller than the average computer monitor and was placed on a side table in such a way that you could only watch it laying on your bed with your head turned. Not really comfortable. The only other issue was in the towel replacement: this has been problematic during my entire stay. Either dirty towels weren't replaced at all, or all towels were taken away, leaving none in the room. The issues were dealt with instantly when addressing a staff member, but I had to do this three days.
