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.

The Cathedral is beautiful, likewise the local market.
The Cathedral is beautiful, likewise the local market. The harbour is quite spectacular with lovely walks out to the yacht club and beyond. Lots of roadside cafes which are used by locals did find it difficult to find a good restaurant even in the old town but dinner in hotel Bahia is always good. Only spent one day so didn’t get out to the area around the Pousada so still lots to explore. Alta Mira which is a close drive away is brilliant as is the coastline

We stayed the night before our boat sailed back to Plymouth and walked to the bars on the main road to our hotel. All very friendly places with local families meeting and socialising. We didn't really see any of the town, but the locals were all friendly.

This is a delightful seaside city with extensive promenades and elegant "belle epoque" buidings overlooking the bay. There is a good range of restaurants and bars and a large selection of imposing, as well as boutique hotels. There is plenty of parking, mostly underground, but if you are lucky there is parking on both sides of the main promenade. In town there is a selection of shops and stores with a good selection of local produce. If you drive right out through the town there is an impressive view from the end of the peninsula

Our first time in Santander and it won't be the last.
Our first time in Santander and it won't be the last. We stayed in El Sardinero where there are excellent beaches - not that I am interested in beach holidays, but there is a long promenade which is very pleasant to walk along. In its favour is that it is not a typical resort as in the south of Spain - more genteel and welcoming. Getting about was very easy with a travel card, the bus fares were only about 30c! So it is easy to stay out of the centre and use the frequent buses, using the TUS Santander app.

I enjoyed the waterfront with its ferries, coffee shops and exhibition centre; the market halls including the eastern market/food hall near the waterfront; the back streets inland and uphill with their street escalators and short funicular elevator; and the pedestrianised area around Calle Burgos with its pavement cafés.

The food, the beaches, the weather, El Serbal Restaurant is amazing All the old town is walkable though there are some steep climbs. we went car free as foot passengers on the ferry from Plymouth. Local transport is clean , cheap and frequent if you need to bget around the beaches are outstanding Top tip take the foot ferry across to the spit of land at the harbour entrance The beaches are amazing

- From $74.34 per night9.2Wonderful · 1,156 reviewsA 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.LaurenceUnited Kingdom
- From $86.37 per night8.8Excellent · 6,435 reviewsWe 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.
DanaUnited Kingdom - From $82 per night8.8Excellent · 9,792 reviewsThe 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.BillUnited Kingdom
- From $59.99 per night8.4Very Good · 4,398 reviewsBig 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.
WestofCordobaSpain - From $86.37 per night8.8Excellent · 6,435 reviewsThis is a conveniently situated hotel for both ferry, rail and bus. The staff are friendly and helpful. Our room was clean, comfortable and spacious with pleasant view. We've stayed here before and will return, no doubt. We didn't eat breakfast or dinner here but there is a very pleasant cafe on the ground floor.
