4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 December 2012

The hotel is just one block away from the beach and perfect to go for a walk around the playa or the peninsula. The rooms are contemporary and comfortable. Restaurants are near by and hotel breakfast is okay by Spanish standards. Friendly and very helpful staff.

We stayed here on the 2nd and 3rd of October 2012 in Room 403. The Hotel was easy to find and is situated just off the main coastal road that follows the beech and sea front all the way to the City Centre and Port area. Remember though that this is quite a walk.It is however very pleasant and many... More

I enjoyed my stay. The hotel staff were very friendly and attainable. The room was a good size with a very comfy bed and had a lovely balcony with sea views. It also had a mini-fridge so I was able to cool drinks. There was not a kettle for tea making but there were several places to go out for... More

This hotel has no better facilities than a two-star. Room was small. Air-con system (centralised system with control-pad in the room) did not really cool the room (heat-wave in Spain during August). To be fair, when we complained, we were offered another room (slightly bigger than the one we had); but didn't move as the air-con was (evidently) going to... More

Nice hotel inside but the outside let it down, very rude staff and would not try to understand requests. very thin walls, 'every' noise could be heard from the room next door. TV had all Spanish channels so wasn't much use. Check out was at mid day although the ferry wasn't until 21:00, a long time to wait if the... More

Have stayed at this hotel several times over the years, mainly for the great location. This time I think will be the last unless improvements are made. We were travelling from Donostia to Llanes and spent a few days in Santander en route. View from the room was fantastic but the room, as if to compensate was small and with... More

A great hotel in a wonderful location overlooking a choice of immaculately tended sandy beaches and within easy reach of the centre of Santander by bus or a leisurely stroll on a fine day. The hotel is of a high standard, staff are welcoming and rooms are well maintained and spotlessly clean. Our only criticism was that because of the... More

We stayed 4 nights and thought the hotel, and particularly our room 405 just great. Had a lovely sea view and probably the biggest balcony we have ever had. Luck of the draw perhaps in view of other earlier reviews. We were warmly welcomed by the reception with good English spoken. Breakfast was good apart from tinned fruit. Had a... More
