    Shower was not cleaned and had curly hair in, shower gel on the tiles. Not fault of hotel but had couple nights of noisy guests after midnight.

    Close to the beach, nice room, helpful staff. Small fridge in the room is a bonus. Coffee machine.

    our fridge did not work, ( i kept forgetting to report this, perhaps it would have been replaced if i had done so) No bar, it would have been helpful as we had rain during our short holiday.

    The room was very clean and well decorated. The bed and pillows were comfortable (and i'm hard to please!) the bathroom was spacious, the towels were large and good quality.

    The room we were in was nice but had an ajoining door to the room next door and we could hear someone having a conversation through it. Some additional noise cancelling on these internal doors would be good as we were very aware of their conversation and the fact if we could hear them talking at a normal volume they would be able to hear us too.

    Great location for exploring Santander and the surrounding area. The hotel is just up from the beach so lovely to walk down and enjoy the views. Beds were comfy and room recently redecorated in a more modern style. Free car parking on the street which we used but be aware you might have to wait and circle a few times when parking in the busy times such as evenings. You will get a space eventually but may have to wait (we visited late May so may change in peak summer).

    I wish there was tea in the room as well, but it may have been a cultural thing to only provide coffee. A minor thing that makes no difference to how much we enjoyed our stay.

    Very clean, awesome location. Rooms pretty and sufficiently furnished. Very respectful of privacy. Really enjoyed the stay

    Parking is a challenge but hotel does have garage. Windows needed cleaning! Coffee is hard to get for early risers. Pods in room are not enough coffee for two people, and nearby cafes don’t open until 7:30. Certainly not a big deal.

    Beautifully and freshly apportioned rooms. Spacious with room for personal items. Close to beach and boardwalk.

    Nothing to dislike

    Not the type of hotel we usually stay in, as we tend to go for small, family owned properties but it was such a bargain - approx £65 a night for a double room including parking- that we decided to go for it. Great decision, beautiful hotel, friendly and helpful staff, large, well equipped and comfortable room. Parking was ideal, directly underneath the hotel with a pedestrian entrance straight up into the lobby. Can't comment on the restaurant as we ate at the restaurants nearby, just across the road and down towards the sea. There's a row of 4 or 5, and the 2 we ate in were excellent and great value too. For breakfast we ate at a beachfront cafe, again excellent food and good value. Not stayed in Sardinero before, and really enjoyed it. Lovely coastal walks in both directions. We headed towards the Cabo Mayor lighthouse, beautiful views. Just an easy 20 minute drive to the ferry terminal. Will definitely stay here again.

    The lights in the bathroom did not have the possibility of the soft level.

    The location was great, practically on the beach, close to palacio Magdalena and about equal distance from the hiking part of the town (the lighthouse and the zip-line park) and the real center of town (center Botin). The room was spacious and the bed comfortable and the bathroom with a large walk-in shower. You can go running to the lighthouse, or the beaches, or park Lamas.

    Nothing really, Sardinero is an expensive area so prices reflect the same. Food seemed quite expensive at first but was largely in line with most restaurants in the surrounding hotels.

    Impressive Hotel if a little stark in architecture. Well appointed entrance in marble which caused large sound amplification from children at first communion parties, easy access to hotel parking, need to have parking as street parking at a premium. Just short walk from Sardinero beach. Room was very well appointed if not the largest but all worked very well, clean and comfortable with fridge and small coffee machine. Good size bathroom with shower. Breakfast was really good with large selection from cereals through to fresh fruit all alin between. Good transport links into the centre of Santander.
