Carlos Mexico

Christa United Kingdom

Room with sea view, very large and comfortable. Garage directly under hotel, with elevator to the room floors as well as lobby. Beautiful structure. Great location near royal palace and seafront. Coffee shop as alternative to breakfast buffet. Real hangers.

Sulpicia Italy

The hotel is easy to get to. Check in was seamless. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and the AC worked. The beach is across the street and the town is a €5 cab ride.

Tara United States of America

Beautiful hotel across from the main beach in Santander and where all the action is! Highly recommend it! We had a room with a great view!

Carolyn United States of America

The staff was very welcoming, the rooms are very comfortable and the location can't be beat. For being right in the middle of all the action, it was extremely quiet.

Rebecca United States of America

The location in front of the sea , the great view of the room

Graciela Mexico

Almost everything. Our room (227) was high-ceilinged, spacious and bright because of the two huge windows. Close to a lot of restaurants, beachfront and there's a supermarket behind the hotel. The receptionist named Raquel is kind enough to grant my request for a late check in (an hour longer).

Anonymous Japan

It’s in an ideal location to stroll by the beach and enjoy the outdoor cafes.
