Santander Hotel Guide - 4 stars Hotels in Santander, Spain

WE had a very comfortable room with a small sitting room included. The staff were very helpful in giving us advice for places to go. The hotel had a car park and because I had contacted them in advance they found me a space in spite of being very busy.

From start to finish we had a thoroughly enjoyable holiday. The trip from the airport was a 15 minute ride, and there is an airport bus that goes into the centre of the city from where you can get on one of the local busses if you need to go further than a short walk with your cases. The hotel was in our ideal location - in between beaches and the shops, and walkable to both. The outlook from our room was over the marina with all the yachts and boats, and the tent like stalls on the front. We got a bus card from reception which we could then charge up with Euros and use on the very easy to use and good bus network when we had had enough of walking. There are more than enough restaurants within easy reach, and enough variety to cater for most tastes if you are not into Spanish food, though of course it is mostly Spanish. We found a few nice places for a light and late lunch having had a late breakfast. For us the big adjustment was the late opening times of most of the restaurants - between 20:00-21:00 hrs - but we adjusted and occasionally found one that opened earlier. The Spanish people were vey friendly and always tried to compensate for the lack of our Spanish vocabulary! Our overall experience was a very positive one, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend such a trip.

Comfortable beds, clean, beautiful beach views. Enjoyed thoroughly

Looks classic from the outside but step inside and it's very modern. Room was fantastic, on 4th floor with glass front wall leading on to terrace overlooking the beach. Thin curtains to give privacy, then found electric blinds to cut out the light. Restaurant food really good and plentiful, although not many other diners. Parking was booked, and accessed via a lift for the car. Would thoroughly recommend.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this hotel. We were welcome by the staff on our arrival. The facilities in the room - size, bed, bathroom, storage etc. - were good. The staff were helpful. I would have liked more vegetarian dishes on the menu in the restaurant, or willingness to make something special for a total vegetarian, who eats no fish either.

Perectly located 2 mins from beach. Loads of bars and restaurants nearby decent hotel. Very nice staff. Rooms a little tired but adequate.

Lovely 6 days. Beautiful beaches and walks. City of Santander very interesting and very Spanish, not much spoken English which was a bit of a problem. Tourist office only dealt with Santander and not surrounding coast or area which was a bit of a problem, until we worked out where we thought we wanted to go to and found the appropropriate bus timetable at the bus station. We had no car. We found visiting Bilbao for the Guggenheim ok, but you needed to book the bus a day or so ahead, as all the early buses (9.00 am.) were full and the next one with some spaces, not many, was at 11.00 a.m. a bit later than we wanted to go, but it worked out ok and was a great museum to visit.

Hotel close to beaches in nice area of city. Nice walk to town or regular buses. Taxis inexpensive also. Pleasant rooms and hotel gardens. Front desk staff always happy to help.

Very nice hotel close to the beach and cafes, bars etc. The room was very smart as was the bathroom. Helpful staff as well so a really nice place to stay.
