    There was nothing about this hotel that I did not like! God willing, I will be back

    We had two great rooms facing the casino and the ocean! The ceilings are grand - 12' for better and the staff was just terrific. Had I known how great Santander was going to be and this hotel in particular, I would have rearranged our itinerary to stay for a few more days.

    The breakfast cost 16 euros. It was a bit overpriced, not bad but I wish they had more variety on the foods.

    Great location, great services. Really comfortable

    Sometimes the bedside lighting needs checking - bulbs and connections aren’t always as good as they could be.

    So easy and close to the airport and my family - always offers value for money

    Breakfast is nice but food needs to be kept warmer. Tea and Coffee in the rooms would have been better.

    Great hotel, very clean and staff very pleasant. Definitely worth the upgrade to sea view. Location is beautiful, in the nicest part of Santander. Bars and a few restaurants close by. Bus stop and taxi rink into the Center outside of the Hotel. Lovely walk about 40mins.

    Would have liked a kettle in the room to make an early morning drink.

    First I really liked the easy to use underground parking facility accessed via a lift. The reception staff were welcoming and the porter took our cases to our room. The room was larger than expected, with sufficient storage space for our clothes. The bed was large and comfortable. Good WiFi. Quiet. The breakfast has a good range of hot and cold foods. Meals in the cafeteria are also good. Hotel is situated by the beach. Plus there are bars and restaurants nearby. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

    Excellent location by Sardinero beach and spacious room

    • Stayed 7 nights

    The front desk staff often looked at paperwork and didn't pay attention to greetings or the cleanliness of the front and lobby after the weekend. I was happy to pick up the dirt. The weakest point was the restaurant, its menu and food quality, the service for a 4* hotel and the lack of English language skills of one of the waitresses who served us. The untidy restaurant area, the old bread and the incorrectly issued bill. The European expects better service and this is what the hotel management should focus on.

    Breakfast throughout the stay was always the same, but you can always choose from the menu, hot meals were often lukewarm. Plenty of fruit. Unfortunately there was a lack of vegetables. Excellent yogurts, selection of milks, cheeses. But the location of the hotel made up for it all. There is a great room with sea view and bathroom equipped with bidet, excellent towels and spacious shower. Always clean, every day with bottles of water.
