Situated 1.8 km from Playa Los Peligros, Hotel Sol Boutique offers 4-star accommodation in Santander and has a garden, a terrace and a bar. Among the facilities at this property are room service and a 24-hour front desk, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The property is non-smoking and is located 2 km from Playa El Sardinero II.

Very well located hotel in a quiet neighbourhood, about a 5 minute walk from the restaurants/bars and the seafront. The building itself is spectacular with tons of charm. The internal design is also very nice, combining modern aspects/comforts while leaving some of the original elements (wood doors and stained glass in the 1st floor bar). Each room seems to have an individual style (I was in the Chinoiserie room). In any case, the room I had was a very good size and even had a little winter balcony. Everything was very comfortable and clean. A great find!

All spotlessly clean. Location is up the hill but there's a lift which goes down one level and then on the way back up you have escalators which made it easy to access the hotel. The seafront and many bars and restaurants are minutes away. Lovely friendly staff.
