Great location for El Sardinero and other smaller beaches next door, a Lupa grocery market, and bus stops into town are nearby, walking distance to Palacio de Magdalena. Parking is not free (10EUR) and there is plenty of free parking nearby. Host was business-like.
Not too many dining options around.

A charming manager who greeted us and also managed the breakfast buffet - extremely hard working.
Our room was immaculate and the location good. Only slight downside was that there was no parking at the hotel but there was free onsite parking nearby.

Really nice hotel, friendly staff and they’re is a public car park just outside the hotel but can be seen from window, I worked a truck with trailer there and could see from balcony and there was still lots of parking! Definitely stay again, an would recommend!! Breakfast is really nice and rooms clean and comfortable. Shower pressure is low an over bath, but can still manage a nice wash!
It’s only about 10mm from ferry from Santander, the bay is gorgeous and imagine in summer, you’d be hard...

We arrived at 1pm and were able to check into our room. Very clean, powerful shower and small bottles of complimentary water and toiletries replenished each day. Great location for walking around the city. Hotel guests receive 10% discount off menu del dia, served 1pm-4pm - choice of 3 starters, mains and desserts and includes bread and half a bottle of wine each for €18. The Rioja wine is very full bodied. Highly recommended for authentic home cooked Spanish food. Would highly recommend this...

We don't normally do reviews, but there should be a special 8 * rating available for hotels that go above and beyond! Sadly our ferry was cancelled due to bad weather and then our vehicle broke down; our breakdown company led us a merry dance. The hotel were aware of our predicament and did everything they could, and more to help us and ease our pain and stress levels!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel - and I let the reception staff know how much we liked it on checking out. The beds were comfortable, the shower was efficient and it was good to have two chairs in the room to relax in.
I particularly liked the breakfast buffet. No hot dishes but that was fine with me. Nice breads, cereals, cold meats and fruit. I don't understand, though, why hotels in Spain (of all places!) don't have grapes in the buffet.
Nicely located too away from the biz but...
