First of all, the staff are friendly, knowledgeable and polite. The view from my room overlooking the gorgeous beach and the Bay of Santander was stunning. It is very quiet. There are shops nearby and a couple of nice little bars and cafes. It is just a few minutes walk to the bus stop so very easy to get into the city centre (although it's a nice walk as well through green parks). It is also adjacent to the coastal path which leads to other small bays.

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.
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 .
Lovely view of the beach. All staff at the hotel were very friendly and a good breakfast. The location was perfect for the beach. Bus stop very close to the hotel to go into the centre of Santander (€1.30) There are some great restaurants and bars near the hotel. The area prides itself for it's excellent food.
Cheap flight from Birmingham with Ryan Air which took only 1 hour 40 min and a 25 min taxi journey, great for a long weekend away.
This is a wonderful small hotel with an attractive, entrance (secure at night), lovely rooms and very attentive staff who would do anything for you! The location is perfect as close to many places and beach fronts worth visiting in Santander. We walked everywhere. Some excellent coffee shops are just down the road, as well as some small shops with artisanal products. The area is altogether very pleasant!
The hotel was nearby the beach and parking was easy. The room was small for two people. There was no milk of you wanted a cup of tea during the day. Staff were excellent and helpful and took a real price in good service. The cops were used in day one on our room were not washed and replaced the next day when the room was made up. Breakfast was adequate and a good variety.
Incredible stay at the Gran Hotel Victoria and Santander. Well kept hotel, very clean and tidy, large balcony/terrace and views were brilliant. Staff were incredibly helpful and will definitely be back. Location was exceptional, 2 minute walk to el Sardinero beach, 15 minute walk to Magdalena Palace and 25 minutes to the old town.
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.
This is a lovely modern hotel close to the beach, where you can walk for miles along the promenade. We had a room with a view of the sea. It is convenient for the Santander ferry. The room was a good size with a large modern bathroom. The bed was very comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful.
we booked the unit last minute and the team was very helpful accommodating our schedule.
thank you Yolanda for allowing us to enter early and thanks to Mar for moving our items around.... without their help this visit to santander would not work out.
I wish I had more days to spend in cantabria
A very clean hotel in an excellent position for exploring Santander. The hotel is close to the old city and within walking distance of the various cultural centres that the city offers. There are good public transport links for visiting the lovely beaches on the peninsula.
The hotel is situated overlooking the port in central Santander so ideal for exploring the city. The spacious rooms are very tastefully decorated. We had a late arrival by air so we needed a central location for a bed for the night, it was very comfortable and quiet.
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.
Location by the beach perfect. Room was very nicely decorated and space was well divided for three adults. The bed was ok but not super comfortable compared to other hotels we've stayed at.
nice hotel in the best location (town center,beach,gardens etc)
professional staff,I was even allowed to keep my car in the garage for the day (after departing the hotel)
thank you
What we loved about this hotel was our Sea Room view! The room size and set up was great and the view was AMAZING!!!! A pleasure to wake up everyday with the beach right in front!
