Large room and a big bed - a bit hard by our standards, but we’d just come off the ferry, suffering a bit from their bunks.... Everything is spotless here!
Everything you could hope for - we were there for a night only, but loads of wardrobe space and maybe 8-10 hangers. Huge, reasonably-priced tapas bar over the road, gas station next door, restaurant below, and a good-sized supermarket too. And Carrefour nearby. Bus to Santander if you’re not driving.
Friendly staff -happy to speak English, but happier if you have a go in Spanglish first. We paid 46Euro and ate breakfast (bought from the supermarket) on the beach before heading off on our journey. We’ll do it again if we have ferry arriving late.

Great hotel away from the city

We spent two nights at the hotel, and have nothing but good things to say. We arrived to Santander from San Sebastián by bus, and because this hotel is in the next town along the coast we wanted to make sure we could get to the hotel from the bus station and also from the hotel in to Santander. After an e-mail and quick response we decided to stay at La Roca. It is very easy to catch a bus in to town
Our room was much bigger than an average hotel room and it looked like it was newly renovated. The staff was very friendly and gave us advice on what to see and eat in the area. We can recommend the Italian restaurant a few hundred meters past the hotel and the sports bar. We have actually booked one more night at La Roca at the end of our vacation.

Act of kindness. And truly something. That we can't thank enough.. Her husband took us all the way as we followed. In our car.. We arrived. To find a wonderful. Place to stay.. Every thing about this place is excellent.. The staff are so helpful.. If they had charged 3 times the price. It would have been. Good value.. Well done and if this couple ever read this..

Ideal hotel after ferry.

Stayed for a couple of nights after arriving in Santander.
Receptionist was very helpful and suggested somewhere to eat within walking distance as only a very dark looking restaurant/bar in building in front of the hotel.
Nothing much around the hotel but within a few minutes in the car were lovely little coves for walking.
Bedroom itself was spacious and modern with lovely large bathroom. Beautifully done! Only real negative was a lack of a kettle in the room so we went and bought one in nearby supermarket. Would definitely use again

Can't rate the hotel - we'd made a mistake in our booking and arrived on the wrong day, & they were full.

But will try this one next time we need a hotel near Sandander ferry - it looked very special, spacious, marble everywhere - and full of Vuelta cyclists.

We used this hotel as a cheap stop over after getting off the ferry from England, before continuing our journey to benicarlo. The quality of service and condition of the hotel did not reflect the price, it was worth far more than we were charged for our stay. I would highly recommend this hotel, before we checked out we rebooked for an overnight stay before our return ferry so we could board the ferry clean and relaxed before the long journey

Very pleased with the room initially but one of the beds had coffee stained sheets, otherwise the room was very clean. The bathroom was very good, nice and clean with a very good shower. The room needs air conditioning as it is noisy with the window open and to keep the light out the shutters have to be fully closed as there are bright lights outside the window.The staff were polite and friendly. The food in the restaurant was very good but the English version of the menu was hard to understand (a problem with translation?)

Great place, and Great staff.

The hotel is a little bit away from the centre of the city, about a 20 minute ride by bus, luckily the local commuter bus (couple mins walk away) comes by very frequently and we didn't have to wait longer than 5 minutes for one over 10 days.
There is positives to living a little bit further, the area is more relaxed and quiet (25mins walk from a beach) and we even walked it into the city numerous days (40mins approx).
The hotel staff were excellent and although they didn't all speak English they were all very welcoming and helpful.
A few stood out as being particularly helpful teaching us some spanish and giving us some hints in places to go in the city.
Would definitely recommend Chateau La Roca to any friend going to Santander.
