    Only minor issue for us was distance from centre of city. Walk about half hour or jump a taxi. Bear this in mind if you don’t like to walk!

    Beautiful grand exterior overlooking the beach and beautiful interior style, modern but still cosy. Room was clean, comfy and just what we needed. Staff were all friendly and helpful.

    +Fab location/Santander ferry/car park lift/ view of sea from terrace. - Rain dampened our stay.
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Queen Room with Sea View and Terrace
    • Stayed 2 nights

    We stayed 2 nights. The underground hotel car park should be included with the booking overall (€17 per night). Especially since we paid extra for a room with a terrace and sea view. First night was fabulous. The next day and night was raining. The terrace was too wet to go out then but that's nature. Bar served sandwiches, wraps, hamburgers until 8pm. The kitchen opened at 8.30pm for hot dinners. The other main restaurant in hotel, closes afternoon time. Across the road, the restaurant stopped serving dinner menu from 7.30pm. So we were in limbo trying to remember which opens and which closes (whilst it rained) - frustrating but not a big deal.

    Loved the view from the terrace of the sea and the restaurant nearby. Location was brilliant, easy to find and away from the ferry (5-8 mins drive one way round). Downtown location on foot easily. Parking is hard on street but pay and display around. Plenty to eat out, shop, etc. The underground car park in hotel is very spacious - you drive the car into the lift and out of the lift. Plenty of spaces. (We stayed at another and a number of scratches, etc to the cars as it was very very tight. This one was great.)

    absolutely nothing

    This is a beautiful hotel, in a great location with lovely friendly staff from household & bar to front desk, Maria Jesus on front deck was particularly helpful. The rooms were so well appointed and spotlessly clean. I would most definitely return to this hotel and be more than happy to recommend it to anyone.

    It would be nice to be able to make hot drinks in the room - other than coffee - if at all possible.

    It is well positioned with beautiful views of the sea and beaches. All staff we engaged with were polite and friendly and were happy to help us.
