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.

For a four star hotel, the floor what quite dirty in the room and the food was average. The wait staff in the cafeteria were abrupt and appeared to be stressed. The room was large and had a nice view. All things considered a great price for location and view.

Nothing.
The whole experience was exceptional. The set dinner menu included free bottle of wine, water and coffee for free. The underground 3 level car park was easy to access via a car lift and the passenger lifts up to all floors above made access from car to room easy.

Coffee. I love good artisan coffee, but it seems this is not something that has arrived in town (or in the hotel) yet.
It was a surprise visit for just one and a half days. Very conveniently located room with a view of the ocean. Great city - been my first time in Santander, but most certainly not the last. Staff at reception was very helpful. Parking is definitely worth the extra pay. I loved the easy access to the beach and the parks - definitely go out for a long walk to the lighthouse when you stay there!

It would have been nice to have had chairs and a table on the terrace. Also, when we asked for information about buses to Bilbao at reception, we were initially told ‘I don’t know ‘. The receptionist had to be pushed a little to look up the information for us. We felt we should have been given more help and information or at least directed to where we might find it.
The room was comfortable, the view from the terrace was lovely.

The waiter working in the outside terrace on Thursday was not very friendly. He needs to learn to smile and engage with customers. Thats what makes people re-visit.
The staff on reception were lovely. The room was beautiful and overlooked the sea. We got a free upgrade and the mini bar contents were complimemtary. Whilst not directly in the centre there are taxis outside that are very cheap. The hotel is located directly across feom a beautiful beach amd is also on a main bus route. The buses are very frequent. Parking is free on the surrounding streets so no need to pay hotel charges.

Could do with some music in the restaurant.
The quality of the food at breakfast was very good. We had several meals in the cafe and restaurant. All well cooked and drinks were offered with the set table menus. The hotel is near the main road so could be busy at peak times but it did not spoil the enjoyment of the beach on the other side if the road. The hotel has an underground parking area which is chargeable at 17 euros per night, but well worth. It saves wondering around the streets looking for a free parking space. It’s the first time I have used a elevator to go to the basement garage in the car.

We appreciate that you may not have many English Speaking people stay with you and that it is not normal practice for Spanish hotels to provide a kettle with Tea Bags and Coffee in the room. However, we and many others like to have a cup of tea at times when waking and often whilst watching TV in the room. Maybe when you have Brits/Americans stay you could provide the option of a kettle and some cups for the duration of the stay. Parking available albeit a bit pricey when you are already paying to stay as a guest. One last point is the TV stations. Once again, you may not have many English speaking people stay with you but the only TV Channels available in English are NEWS channels. Maybe you could provide a Movie Channel that would show movies in English for a Small Fee!
Location very good and very quiet. The room was in very good condition. Nice large balcony.
