María Luisa Pelayo, 38, 39005 Santander, Spain –

*8.3* El Sardinero Casino: only 5 minutes away! (1,300 feet by foot)

Lock in a great price for Gran Hotel Victoria – rated 8.6 by recent guests!

to get started.

The LOCATION is the best, close to the Sardinero beaches and the Magdalena Palace, but very quiet. The hotel is very clean and the staff friendly. The views from some terraces are fantastic.

Fernando, Spain

This hotel is fabulous. It is in a perfect location and the rooms are large with very comfortable beds. Bathroom also large and good water pressure with the shower. The staff are very helpful and the breakfasts are excellent and the menu of the day is terrific value. Would recommend this hotel and Santander itself. It is clean with wonderful beaches and lovely walks. The bus network is punctual and cheaper if you buy a card which can be loaded when required with a minimum €10. We took the bus to visit Bilbao and Guggenheim which is recommended but we are so glad we stayed in Santander and not Bilbao.

Location, easy to find from the ferry, which arrived in the early evening, and an ideal stop over for anyone in transition prior to heading south. Nice clean room and a pleasant dinner.

The Gran Hotel Victoria is located between Santander's Gran Casino and the Magdalena Palace, just 350 feet from Sardinero Beach. All rooms have free Wi-Fi and private balconies, most of which have sea views.

Each room at the Gran Hotel Victoria is decorated with soft colors and has hardwood floors. The rooms include a minibar, a safe and a private bathroom with toiletries and a hairdryer.

The Gran Hotel’s restaurant serves traditional dishes made from local produce, including fresh Cantabrian seafood. Meals can be eaten outside on the terrace.

Gran Hotel Victoria is a 20-minute walk from the center of Santander and 2 miles from the city’s ferry port. Regular bus services stop near the hotel.
