Some reviewe have mentioned this place feels dated - but i found it wonderful and quite the bargain.
Huge room, very modern bathroom, mattress fine, clean as can be.
Very helpful and friendly staff - especially Santiago at front desk.
The carpets are worn, but other than that
it is a gem. You would pay 3x the price to get such a spacious bathroom and room in a more modern hotel.
Outstanding location

Imagine a luxury hotel that was not upgraded or renovated for 20 years…. Rugs in the halls are begging to be changed. So called pillows I would not give my enemies! The bathroom facilities almost worked each with its own issue. But the worst thing that this 4 star hotel doesn’t have no coffee station or kettle provided. If you want to have tea in the evening you are out of luck. I wouldn’t recommend it

Nice friendly hotel.

Nice colonial looking building with the rooms built around a central atrium.
The check in was easy and the staff pleasant. We were directed how to navigate the roadworks to get to the parking garage.
The room was clean with a comfy bed and the bathroom had a good shower.
This is not an overly modernised anonymous box the hotel has some character.
We didn't eat here, we should have though as the set menu was no more expensive than local restaurants.

Great location but poor value for money

The hotel is located across the road from the beach, us clean and generally helpful staff but not too welcoming. However the accommodation is pretty basic, bed, bathroom, TV (that had a terrible reception) and basic mini bar (only water and orange juice). The walls are thin so you can hear other guests in their bathroom etc. We paid 200€ per night plus 17€ per night for parking. For that price I'd expect more attention to detail and a warmer welcome. Generally disappointed.

Found the hotel at the first attempt despite driving in an unfamiliar city. Easy parking. Very helpful staff. The room was elegant and spacious. The evening meal was very reasonable and a glass of wine thrown in! A great night's sleep. After a comprehensive breakfast, a trip round the old town and the ferry home.

Hotel sardinero

We were moved to hotel Sardinero which was across the road which was a lovely hotel with a reasonable cafeteria at the side. Lots of good real Spanish restaurants and lovely beaches and scenery. A tour bus stops nearby which gives you a tour around the main Santander town and you can hop on and off.A true Spanish resort

Hôtel très bien placé, accueil et service mitigés

Déplacement professionnel dans cet hôtel très proche des lieux emblématiques de Santander, très bien placé !
Très grandes chambres confortables et silencieuses.
Les jeunes femmes a l’accueil sont très bienveillantes mais l’homme qui semble avoir un pouvoir hiérarchique à l’accueil l’est beaucoup moins et beaucoup moins au service des clients.
Je conserve néanmoins un très bon souvenir de cet hôtel malgré cet nuance de l’accueil .
