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.

We used Santander as a base to explore prehistoric caves, historical sites and the surrounding parks. Six days barely got us started. I will say going in January worked well as temperatures were mild and rain was sporadic. We didn’t leave enough time to explore all the city but people were friendly, there were new things to see everywhere and the food is great.
This is as the name suggests is a small hotel but big on style. The room was perfect for a short stay comfortable bed, quality shower room, adequate storage for clothes and a safe. Lovely breakfast room with a good choice of fresh fruit, breads, croissant, cheese and meats and a choice of teas and coffees. A good start to the day. The location is great for the vast beach and costal walks. Excellent bus service into the city centre.
The staff need a special mention very professional and helpful with local advice top people, thank you.
When we arrived, the staff were absolutely wonderful. Telling us exactly where we could park a vehicle .Couldn't do enough for us. before visiting you, we stopped in two big luxury hotels, one of which in barcelona . Their facilities were OK but not what I would classify 5 star or whatever stars they like to call them. Where as your facility was 5 star to me and my partner . Arrive and find slippers and bath robes provided was a nice touch and well appreciate .
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.
At the beach end of Santander.
Great location.
Nice and relaxing.
Very helpful staff.
The hotel has underground parking if required.
Nice breakfast, cafe, and restaurant.
There arezalso cafe's and restaurants nearby.
Right on the beach and easily accessed from the road network.
Rooms are modern, comfortable and well equipped.
I had a very nice stay.
This is the worst place I have stayed in Spain. The room is extremely hot, no venting or air conditioning, no WiFi, rude hosts, and the water does not work to take a shower or brush your teeth. Absolutely ridiculous they charge this amount. DO NOT stay here and make a mistake like I did. You will have more accommodation paying $10 at a hostel.
Lovely grand old style hotel with exceptional staff. Dinner in the restaurant was superb as was breakfast. Location was excellent, just a short walk to the beach where we found a lovely beach bar. There was a lovely promendade and fantastic area with restaurants and shops. Santander is very lovely indeed. Highly recommended ❤️
The hotel is very charming. The room was very nice and clean. Breakfast was good. The hotel staff were friendly. There is a cafe over the road from the hotel that serves great food. Beach is 10 mins walk. The City centre is of walking distance. We will come back again to stay at this hotel. Thank you for your services.
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.
Well located very close to the beach. Very helpful staff who also spoke some English. The room was in the eaves of the hotel but a good size with a very comfy bed. We arrived late in the evening due to our flight but that was not a problem. Nice clean area of town with good choice of local cafes.
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.
The host was really kind, managed to explain all with the help of a translator app. The room was clean and comfortable although a bit hot (super good weather). The hotel is a good 20 min walk from the center of Santander. A good value!
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.
Location by the beach perfect. Room was very nicely decorated and space was well divided for three adults. The bed was ok but not super comfortable compared to other hotels we've stayed at.
Location near to El Sardinero beach
The cleanliness of the hotel and friendliness of the staff. Facilities at the hotel and communication of information in English as well as Spanish
