Fabulous holiday
It was a fabulous hotel for us. We enjoyed every minute of our 3 days stay. Great location.. right In the seafront. Several beaches and parks in the vicinity. There are bus stops a few yards away from front door and frequent buses to city which is only 10 minutes ride away. We didn’t use the café, bar or restaurant in the hotel only because we like little walk before and after meals. There are numerous cafes, small and large restaurants that serve great food, tapas and drink just a few minutes walk away. Some of them have live music and some have beautiful ambiance. The hotel itself is clean and the room very cozy with nice pillows and bed. The hotel staff were nice and friendly, particularly the lady who was in the front desk during our stay. She was very pleasant, polite and kind… always helpful with a smile whether it is giving us charging cable for phone or getting ironing board in the room promptly or explaining about the hybrid bikes available for hire from the hotel. The other members of staff we interacted were very pleasant as well. We have been to most other parts of Spain several times in the past 15 years. It was our first time in Northern Spain and Santander exceeded our expectations in many ways. Certainly staying in this hotel contributed significantly to a great holiday. Suma and Thomas

Stayed for 2 nights. Return visit to Santander in two months. Decided to stay near the beach. Room was good. We had a sea view. The room was on the main road looking on to the bay. Was a little noisy but not late into the night. Breakfast was good. We had breakfast tea which for Spain was very good. Also had Cava at breakfast! There was no outside space at all. Location was excellent.
