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.
We have stayed in Hotel Bahia a few times and always book any time we travel to Santander. Clean and comfortable bedroom with fantastic views over the bay. Polite, friendly and professional reception staff. Bar staff gave excellent drinks service. Lovely public areas. Hotel is located across from ferry terminal and within a few minutes walk of city centre. The Sardinero Beach area is a 30 minute walk along a beautiful promenade. There are plenty of buses if you dont want to walk. We will book Hotel Bahia the next time we travel to Santander.
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.
At a first glance, when we arrived outside the hotel, we weren't impressed with what the building looked like. However, when we got into the room, we were pleasantly surprised to see how clean it was and how spacious the bathroom and wardrobes were. The staff at the reception were very friendly and polite and so were the cleaning ladies. Our room was cleaned on a daily basis, even the dishes were washed.
The location is great, 10-15 min walk from the beach and the city centre.
The location of this hotel is excellent, fantastic views of the sea, a very comfortable place to relax, but also buses and taxis nearby to get you into the city within minutes. The staff were amazing, very helpful and always had a smile on their face. The food here was great particularly dinner, great choices of local dishes. We cannot wait to return to the Gran Hotel Victoria and Santander again, a truly beautiful place.
I stayed in this property as I had travelled from the south of Spain and was in Santander to get a ferry to the UK. This hotel was exceptional and room 425 offered a lovely view of the beach. The reception staff were excellent and the lady in duty provided me with a map of the town and ideas for dinner. Great staff and a great breakfast. Lovely hotel, great staff
The room was very clean which was very important to me. Thanks for a hotel that actually takes pride in keeping the rooms clean and well cared for! Comfy bed, nice hot shower and quiet. Towels and sheets were good and clean without fragrance. Well designed. Nice staff. Bathroom good and clean condition, didn't see any mold or anything. I would stay there again.
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.
Absolute fabulous hotel! Modern and the rooms were comfy and very clean we stayed here for 3 nights and everyday the room was always cleaned to an exceptional standard!
Staff were great and very hospitable! Would definitely recommend and will more than likely be back to stay again ☺️
Great friendly team.

It was very clean, cozy and modern. The view from the room was very pretty - on the ocean side. The hotel is located in a very beautiful are of Santander, very close to the main beaches. The bus station for the city center is 5 min away from the hotel. Loved it!
Booked deluxe double room with parking. Car park under hotel. Very close to beach and an easy walk into Santander. Good size room with seaview. Lovely comfy bed. Nice clean bathroom. Excellent breakfast. Helpful staff. A short drive to the ferry port.
Hotels around 10 minutes walk west of the stations in Santander. Breakfast good, did'nt try the Ham and Cheese option though. Great coffee. Alessandra very helpfull. Impressive bathroom, very powerfull shower.
The hotel was very quaint old home turned into a hotel. It was a short walk to the beach. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast in the basement was good. The room was quiet and clean.
What we loved about this hotel was our Sea Room view! The room size and set up was great and the view was AMAZING!!!! A pleasure to wake up everyday with the beach right in front!
