This is a repeat booking. Touring on a motorbike I've stayed at the hotel a number of times, its location makes for an ideal holiday 'feel' after getting off the bustle of the ferry. Balcony views, free filtered water and helpful staff. Remote from the town centre it's a fairly secure venue for parking a motorbike. Eateries, bars and supermarkets all within a 5 min walk and of course the excellent beach. Good , if pricey breakfast.
Situated next to Santander’s famous Sardinero Beach, this modern hotel offers wonderful views of the Cantabrian Sea. Free Wi-Fi, a minibar and satellite TV are included in each stylish room.

An interesting place to relax and discover the culture of the northern part of Spain, a safe city. Excellent cuisine famous for tapas/pintxos e.g. in the market in the city centre. Lots of parks and green spaces, friendly people. The Cabo Faro lighthouse is worth a visit, there are the beaches and their lively bustle, the Magdalena peninsula and the market in the centre of town, where you can enjoy a great meal. Lots of museums to visit.

A handsome, friendly city which is undoubtedly underrated as a destination. Safe, clean, lots of varied sights, beautiful coastal walks right from the city centre. Inexpensive! Superb prehistoric museum. Bring a jacket / umbrella, it's cooler and wetter than elsewhere in Spain. Note: it is a very monolingual area: other than in hotels and the occasional individual in a shop or cafe, most people there speak ONLY Spanish!

This was our 3rd visit to Santander in 12 months.
This was our 3rd visit to Santander in 12 months. For £31 per person return flights from the UK, it is cheaper than staying at home.
Santander is a vibrant, fun and energetic city with plenty to occupy any visitor. The food options are to many to count and the bars are fun and friendly through the evening.

I saw lots of reviews recommending this town.
I saw lots of reviews recommending this town. It was not for me. The planetarium, which many raved about? Closed. Has been closed for a while, actually. And apparently when it was open, it wasn't open to walk-ins. Tour groups only, pre-booked, minimum of 5 people.
Many restaurants were reservation only, actually. Many more were closed.
Saw my first homeless tent encampment ten minutes after arriving in the city. Graffiti everywhere. So many ATMs on Google maps, marked closed. Shops closed or going out of business. "Rebajas" signs everywhere. So many multi-lingual beggars.
Lots of smashed windows, sadly. The town looked like some of the worse areas of other cities I've been to, but all over. Even the church, which was recommended as a very nice building, had homeless and beggars in it. I was there on Sunday (so many things closed) and Monday. For a place supposedly well known for it's meals of fresh fish, mine was bland at best. For a Spanish town, surprisingly few tapas places.

Santander is so quaint.
Santander is so quaint. The historic buildings are beautiful. There are so many bars, tapas bars and restaurants everything is so easy to find and within walking distance. It just felt so clean and just a lovely place to visit we will be back. We went to Bilbao for the day on the bus from the bus station, but pre book your seats as it’s always busy. It takes about 1.5 hours but well worth it then you can jump on the tram line into the centre
There were too many bars and restaurants to mention but the one right outside the hotel was wonderful too.
The place was spacious with a big bedroom and a nice living-room with a sofa bed, a television and a kitchen with a microwave and a hub. There was also a terrace of a decent size. The staff were always friendly and helpful. The location is great, just a minute away from Playa del Sardinero, the best beach in Santander. Within walking distance there are plenty of restaurants and bars, some of them with views to the beach. I will not hesitate to return to this hotel if I'm back to Santander. Excellent stay!
A boutique hotel indeed, very small, but perfect for a short stay. Very comfortable and quiet, great facilities, immaculately clean. Parking was easy to find. The hotel is a 2 minute walk to a beautiful beach, and about a 10 minute drive to the ferry terminal. Theresa suggested a fish restaurant about 20 mins walk from the hotel, which was a fantastic experience. Also, the route takes you through an old tunnel under part of Santander. And a good selection for breakfast in the morning.
First of all, the staff are friendly, knowledgeable and polite. The view from my room overlooking the gorgeous beach and the Bay of Santander was stunning. It is very quiet. There are shops nearby and a couple of nice little bars and cafes. It is just a few minutes walk to the bus stop so very easy to get into the city centre (although it's a nice walk as well through green parks). It is also adjacent to the coastal path which leads to other small bays.
Lovely view of the beach. All staff at the hotel were very friendly and a good breakfast. The location was perfect for the beach. Bus stop very close to the hotel to go into the centre of Santander (€1.30) There are some great restaurants and bars near the hotel. The area prides itself for it's excellent food.
Cheap flight from Birmingham with Ryan Air which took only 1 hour 40 min and a 25 min taxi journey, great for a long weekend away.
Love the little thoughtful details, truly local products breakfast at the room, candies , drinks ..every detail was thoroughly thought of. I have been in many hotels in Spain, also with international scope and this is certainly the one where I most felt spoiled and that I cared as a guest. Right from the warm welcome including a drink. Room was new, neat , comfortable.. everything felt good!
Everyone in the hotel was so nice. It really makes a huge difference. Wally, who was at the reception desk went above and beyond to make us comfortable and he was so helpful. But the award goes to the lovely lady making our breakfast Mariana. She was so sweet and the day we were leaving, she even packed us a little Picnic bag for the journey. what more can I say?
Good, reasonably priced hotel with friendly receptionist staff. The room is a decent size with a clean bathroom and great water pressure in the shower. Super close to the train and bus stations as well as the art museum. Not too far from the beach if you don't mind the walk. Lots of cafes and restaurants around.
We were lucky enough to have been allocated one of the rooms with a balcony which gave us a splendid view over the roof tops of the bay and the mountains. The staff were very helpful and efficient and front desk were friendly and did as much as possible to help with parking which is at a premium in Santander.
The room was clean and at a good price for Santander. The hotel was very well located - 5 min to the train station and city center, 3 min to the bus station to Sardinero Beach. The staff gave us helpful indications. We had a really nice time in Santander.
This hotel is centrally located and has excellent service. The reception staff was very professional. They treated us like royalty. I would definitely recommend this hotel when staying in Santander.

Very close to the centre of Santander and made for a good first night in Spain after driving off the ferry. Nice places to eat nearby. Parking close to the apartment for a good price.
