The location of the hotel is excellent for our first trip to visit Santander and have recommended others to use this doing the same trip we did. The hotel were very gracious in holding onto our bags when we arrived early after our flight and called me to let us know when the room was ready for check-in and also gracious enough to hold onto our bags after check-out until our transfer back to the airport arrived allowing us baggage free time before going home, thank you

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.

We used Santander as a base to explore prehistoric caves, historical sites and the surrounding parks. Six days barely got us started. I will say going in January worked well as temperatures were mild and rain was sporadic. We didn’t leave enough time to explore all the city but people were friendly, there were new things to see everywhere and the food is great.

My wife and I have visited Santander on several occasions,...
My wife and I have visited Santander on several occasions, but did not go into the city centre on this occasion as we wanted a hotel that was within a short journey to the airport for an early flight the following morning. The Hotel Chiqui facing the Sardinero beach fitted our requirements perfectly.
Upgraded to Queen room, sea facing on the 7th floor. View of centro bodin was superb through picture window. Access and security with lift system was perfect.food in both cafe and restaurant was excellent as was value. Frankly I don’t see why it has 4 star classification when it easily matches previous 5 star restaurants I have used. Though I have regularly gone through Santander I have never stayed for more than a day. I had perceived La Bohia as an expensive hotel and hence dismissed it from mind. I was wrong. Very reasonable!
Hotel Chiqui is the most exquisite chic beachside hotel situated on the iconic Sardinero Beach, Santander. We loved our stay here and did not want to leave. Lovely, spacious, clean rooms with perfect sea views, air con, large fridge, big screen tv, coffee/tea making facilities and the most friendly and helpful staff. The staff really do the utmost to look after you. There is also a path behind the hotel leading to the most heavenly secluded bays that I’ve ever had the pleasure to swim in. We cannot wait to return!
When we arrived, the staff were absolutely wonderful. Telling us exactly where we could park a vehicle .Couldn't do enough for us. before visiting you, we stopped in two big luxury hotels, one of which in barcelona . Their facilities were OK but not what I would classify 5 star or whatever stars they like to call them. Where as your facility was 5 star to me and my partner . Arrive and find slippers and bath robes provided was a nice touch and well appreciate .
Our room was clean, comfortable, and well decorated. The bathroom was large and roomy with a walk-in shower. The hotel staff were very welcoming and helpfully guided us on things to do and see in Santander. The hotel's location was excellent with beaches, bars and restaurants practically on the door-step. The Sandiero beaches were delightful. Thoroughly recommend staying at this hotel.
The outside of the hotel building was very imposing . There was parking outside the hotel whilst you check in and then pre arranged safe onsite parking costing 17€ per night.
We had a room with a sea view which is a must as the hotel overlooks the beautiful beach of Santander. The staff at reception are very friendly and helpful. Rooms well designed and appointed .
Everyone in the hotel was so nice. It really makes a huge difference. Wally, who was at the reception desk went above and beyond to make us comfortable and he was so helpful. But the award goes to the lovely lady making our breakfast Mariana. She was so sweet and the day we were leaving, she even packed us a little Picnic bag for the journey. what more can I say?
This is an urban hotel nearby the bus station, city center, It is located in front of the bay of Santander right near the Centro Botin. The neighborhood of los pescadores and its restaurants is within walking distance. The rooms are excellent as well as the staff. Good and varied breakfast. We would return to this hotel.
Motorcycle friendly hotel with secure off street parking near the beach at Santander. Excellent staff allowed an early check in and gave great advice re where to go and what to do. Comfortable well appointed room with balcony and beach views. Lovely restaurant with a surprising good set menu for diner.
This was a modern, clean and well-maintained facility in a perfect location across from Santander's amazing beach. We had to park the car in the nearby neighborhood, requiring a short walk, but it's a beautiful neighborhood and the walk was an enjoyable part of the experience.
The room was clean and at a good price for Santander. The hotel was very well located - 5 min to the train station and city center, 3 min to the bus station to Sardinero Beach. The staff gave us helpful indications. We had a really nice time in Santander.
Hotel staff members were friendly and helpful. Our room was very clean, well furnished, and comfortable. We ate dinner both nights in the hotel's restaurant and thoroughly enjoyed both meals. All in all, we had a great stay at the Hotel Victoria.
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 central, right opposite the beach. Really impressed with Santander - very smart and well kept. Free parking outside. The breakfast was excellent and we wished we had an extra night there!
Superb hotel. Spotless with excellent staff from cleaners on. Comfortable and friendly. Menu a bit limited but excellent restaurants within 300 metres. Breakfast superb and cafe/bar nice
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.
