Located next to Santander’s famous Sardinero Beach, this modern hotel offers wonderful views of the Cantabrian Sea. Free Wi-Fi, a mini-bar and satellite TV are included in each stylish room.

We booked this hotel as it was one of the only hotels in town with a direct view on the sea. We stayed in Room 503 which was well sized and had a balcony which the hotel assigned us on request. The room had the most amazing view over Playa del Sardinero, and every morning we woke up with a great view of the sea, town and blue sky. The room had an almost 360 degree view over the sea. There was a minibar with beer, soft drinks and snacks. The hotel was well equipped with a small gym and a restaurant/bar/cafe which served tapas and drinks. We ate a great spanish omelette from the restaurant. The breakfast had a classic hotel selection of food, with a reasonably varied options. There was plant based vegan milk. The location is great if you want to be near to Sardinero, Magdalena beach and is just a short walk to Palacio de la Magdalena. The hotel is around 20 minute walk to the town, which is a nice walk along the sea front, but there are also public buses and city bikes (2.50 €) right outside the hotel. There is a great hiking trail which leaves from Sardinero and goes along the north coast of the peninsula to Playa La Maruca and even beyond.

Located 1.1 miles from Playa Los Peligros, Hotel Sol Boutique offers 4-star accommodations in Santander and has a garden, a terrace and a bar.

The hotel was in a central location, good for walking around the city centre and along the waterfront. Parking was a little distant but not unreasonably so. Our room was fantastic - very modern, large, excellent bathroom, with many conveniences. Breakfast was also very good. The staff we met were friendly and helpful, with clear explanations regarding the car parking, etc.

    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.

    We have stayed in Hotel Bahia whenever we go to Santander. it’s ideally located near the centre and all the lively bars and restaurants. ALS handy for the port. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and spotless. The staff are friendly and helpful, especially when it came to printing out our test results and passenger locator forms. on sight parking is pricey but so is everywhere else. Nice tapas bars just around the corner.

    The decor of the room was very nice with a comfortable bed and some basic amenities such as a coffee machine and fridge. The location to the beach and restaurants was also an added bonus and from the hotel a 15-20 walk through the foot tunnel and following roads leads to a more central part of santander with an abundance of bars and restaurants. It was also walking distance to a number of natural areas of santander.

    Big cheer for Ruth on reception, who dashed out onto the street and bagged us a free parking space bang outside the hotel. Our room was stunning, the circular one on the fifth floor at the end with panoramic views over the town and the Sardinero beach. Bed was comfortable, bathroom a bit cramped, possibly because of the big towels and bath robes. Shower good, wifi ok.
