Lovely Stay
Beautifully kept small hotel, very close to old town . Nice staff. Room we had booked was fine but bed was too small, so we upgraded to a suite with a balcony and direct access to garden, which was excellent value for money. Parking quite restricted but fine with assistance

Staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. Lovely touch on both arrival ( glass of cava) and departure (small gift). Location is good for walking to central areas. Rooms very clean and modern. Only downside is parking which is very tight and there are only half a dozen spaces ( hotel is small probably no more than 15 rooms total so presumably sufficient). We would definitely stay there again.

Boutique style hotel in Santander
Lovely boutique style hotel in a nice residential area of the city. Spotlessly clean room, well equipped (TV, fridge, coffee maker, shower gel, pool towels) and each day alongside complementary water and coffee pods, a gift was left in our room to enable us to sample some regional food delicacies. All the staff were courteous, friendly and knowledgeable… nothing was too much trouble. This is a gem of a hotel!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The hotel was not quite what we imagined as there were no facilities at all apart from tea and coffee making and pastries/biscuits in the room. This was mainly our fault as we hadn’t checked the details properly and didn’t realise there was no bar or breakfast. There is an outdoor pool but it didn’t look inviting. Staff are wonderful and helpful and the location is great so easy walking to the port and restaurants. The room was very clean. We had a sea view but in the distance over rooftops.
