An interesting place to relax and discover the culture of the northern part of Spain, a safe city. Excellent cuisine famous for tapas/pintxos e.g. in the market in the city centre. Lots of parks and green spaces, friendly people. The Cabo Faro lighthouse is worth a visit, there are the beaches and their lively bustle, the Magdalena peninsula and the market in the centre of town, where you can enjoy a great meal. Lots of museums to visit.

A handsome, friendly city which is undoubtedly underrated as a destination. Safe, clean, lots of varied sights, beautiful coastal walks right from the city centre. Inexpensive! Superb prehistoric museum. Bring a jacket / umbrella, it's cooler and wetter than elsewhere in Spain. Note: it is a very monolingual area: other than in hotels and the occasional individual in a shop or cafe, most people there speak ONLY Spanish!

This was our 3rd visit to Santander in 12 months.
This was our 3rd visit to Santander in 12 months. For £31 per person return flights from the UK, it is cheaper than staying at home.
Santander is a vibrant, fun and energetic city with plenty to occupy any visitor. The food options are to many to count and the bars are fun and friendly through the evening.

I saw lots of reviews recommending this town.
I saw lots of reviews recommending this town. It was not for me. The planetarium, which many raved about? Closed. Has been closed for a while, actually. And apparently when it was open, it wasn't open to walk-ins. Tour groups only, pre-booked, minimum of 5 people.
Many restaurants were reservation only, actually. Many more were closed.
Saw my first homeless tent encampment ten minutes after arriving in the city. Graffiti everywhere. So many ATMs on Google maps, marked closed. Shops closed or going out of business. "Rebajas" signs everywhere. So many multi-lingual beggars.
Lots of smashed windows, sadly. The town looked like some of the worse areas of other cities I've been to, but all over. Even the church, which was recommended as a very nice building, had homeless and beggars in it. I was there on Sunday (so many things closed) and Monday. For a place supposedly well known for it's meals of fresh fish, mine was bland at best. For a Spanish town, surprisingly few tapas places.

Santander is so quaint.
Santander is so quaint. The historic buildings are beautiful. There are so many bars, tapas bars and restaurants everything is so easy to find and within walking distance. It just felt so clean and just a lovely place to visit we will be back. We went to Bilbao for the day on the bus from the bus station, but pre book your seats as it’s always busy. It takes about 1.5 hours but well worth it then you can jump on the tram line into the centre
There were too many bars and restaurants to mention but the one right outside the hotel was wonderful too.
Clean rooms and comfortable beds. Staffed reception is a bonus and very helpful. Well priced for Santander. Reasonable location about a mile from town walking through a road tunnel, or half a mile from the large beach in the other direction. Cafe, bar and restaurant on the ground floor of the building is excellent for breakfast or evening meals. The hotel is actually the first floor of an private apartment block.
Love the little thoughtful details, truly local products breakfast at the room, candies , drinks ..every detail was thoroughly thought of. I have been in many hotels in Spain, also with international scope and this is certainly the one where I most felt spoiled and that I cared as a guest. Right from the warm welcome including a drink. Room was new, neat , comfortable.. everything felt good!
Excellent hotel, situated in a family palace in reaching distance of the Santander area. The hotel was beautifully decorated, the rooms were great as well as the common areas, including a pool with great views over the valley. We also had great dinner and breakfast in the property. Staff were very friendly and helpful. One of the top hotels we stayed in through our road trip through Spain.
This hotel is in a great location -right next to the port. It is close to both city centre and the beach-within walking distance. It is a lovely hotel with really nice and comfortable rooms. I particularly liked the shower. Reception staff are so friendly and helpful. Excellent buffet breakfast with a lot of choices. I would definitely stay again if I return to Santander.
The location was great. The hotel is nice you feel the history of the place. But I wouldn’t say it’s a 5 stars GL. The service is not 5 stars GL. Rooms are clean, big but a bit outdated. Showers were recently renovated and very nice and comfy, really liked it. The breakfast was good. The view from our room was stunning ! This is something we really enjoyed.
Hotel is in a great location close to restaurants and great transport.
Airport is 15 minutes away
Short bus ride to the beach
The hotel had a lovely view of the city really great.
Hotel was lovely and clean the hotel had a lovely aroma
Room was great and the shower was very powerful like you would have at home.
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).
The hotel was in a great location —we walked everywhere—great restaurants , museums, sights—all close by. The room was very comfortable and spacious as well as quiet. The staff were very nice and gave us suggestions on places to eat (although I confess we easily found our own places )
I went to Santander for the beach, therefore the location of the hotel is perfect as it is only a few steps to the beach. I got a room with a balcony viewing the sea and beach. The room is pleasantly comfortable, clean and quite spacious. The staffs were kind and helpful.
What can you say Santander is a hidden gem Hotel and Staff were excellent close to the beach and some amazing bars.
Room was cleaned and a good size
Had a meal in the Hotel at night and it was outstanding Value for money and the menu was even in English
The hotel was conveniently located near the ferry port with parking available for a couple of motorcycles. The staff were exceptional and the room was clean and modern and was ideal for an overnight stay or a bit longer if you were exploring Santander.
Hotel staff was kind and willing to help and answer our requests. Really spatious room, bathroom really good and with a lot of space. Breakfast was also good, but nothing really special. Not far away from the beach, some restaurants close by.
close to the beach El Sardinero, bakery next to the hotel - easy for coffee and breakfast, friendly staff, cleaning every day, toiletteries, good value for the money, restaurant nearby, vending machine for drinks and chocolate snacks
The staff at the hotel were extremely friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel is perfect for Santander, you are right next to the beach and can walk in to town and local sights. A good clean, comfortable hotel.
The hotel was very quaint old home turned into a hotel. It was a short walk to the beach. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast in the basement was good. The room was quiet and clean.
Location - short walk to a wonderful beach, restaurants, and bars. Street parking is free in the area of the hotel and it wasn't difficult for us to find a space.
