Location is great. Staff is really nice. Rooms are really comfy

Vega Belgium

it’s closeness to the sea and the bars and restaurants.

Mike United Kingdom

The reception staff were excellent and very helpful as were the staff in the dining room. The hotel was just a block away from a really great beach and restaurants.

Veronica United Kingdom

Fantastic. Clean. Great room. Great location. We have spent 300 + nights in Europe in last 3 years. This property was at the top.

Royce United States of America

The hotel is really big and while the lobby looks a little dated with everything marble, the room was lovely and modern. Small but with very nice decor. The bed was comfortable and the shower was great. It is right up the road from the shore and very close to restaurants and shops.

Jordan Spain

Firstly the entire hotel was spotless and there were numerous hygiene stations throughout the hotel. The breakfast was ample and varied.

Damian Ireland

modern, clean, staff very helpful, plenty of car parking, great breakfast choice

Anthony United Kingdom

- Location is good, close to the beach and casino (but about a mile from the center of town) - Rooms are nice - Huge breakfast buffet with lots of options (since such a large hotel with so many guests). - Was able to park for free on the street close to hotel entrance

Sam United States of America

The location is perfect, close to the main beach in Santander, the Casino and restaurants. The room was very good, quiet, completed renovated with pretty furniture, look and comfortable bed. It's big hotel (convention kind of hotel) and does have 80s look. The hotel has its onw parking in the basement which was very handy, but it does cost money.

Haydee Australia

The location is great, next to good restaurants and beaches. Our room was spacious enough to feel comfortable for a whole week. And the room was cleaned every day, unless you asked them not to do so. It was also quiet and the windows are very big, which was lucky because we had a nice view towards some tall trees to enjoy.
