I love Santander, the balcony of my room can view part of the sea view, and is close to the beach and sea

Evonnech7g Malaysia

The staff were really helpful even though it was more difficult with the language barrier. They were there to assist with whatever we needed and we felt very looked after. The room was extremely clean with a breathtaking view from the balcony... Would definitely recommend and come back again!!

Joy United Kingdom

The location was absolutely perfect. You can either walk to the main beach, Magdalena Palace or walk back to downtown. Taxis and public transportation are easy to get. The hotel staff was very professional and the service was exceptionally good. The view from the standard room was acceptable.

Francisco Spain

Excellent and friendly staff, great location and the restaurant was amazing

John United States of America

-Great location near the beach -Quiet and secluded

Mark United States of America

Lovely clean room, easy parking just a short drive from the ferry. Great value three-course meal with wine included and friendly service.

Barrie United Kingdom

Close to the beach. Breakfast decent. Great staff and location

Enrique Spain

Our room was spacious and well equipped with large balcony and partial sea view. This is our favourite hotel and location in Santander as it is possible to walk to most areas. The staff were very friendly and efficient. The new outside terrace area was a bonus and the gardens are a very pleasant place to eat also. Beautiful beaches and lovely walks are on the doorstep.

John United Kingdom

Excellent location, very comfortable beds and lovely staff. Restaurant has a very good Menu del Dia. Beautiful grounds with a short stroll to the lovely beach. Electric bike hire from reception. Bus stop right outside on the main road for quick bus into Santander city itself

Caroline United Kingdom

The Hotel is just a short walk away from the promenade,the staff are very helpful and reception staff speak good English.The restaurant staff speak enough English to help you select your choice of food and are also very good,food of a good standard and reasonably priced. We booked a junior suite which was excellent with a balcony which allowed us views of the promenade and beach. Excellent would happily stay again.
