“Disappointing”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 June 2006
3
people found this review helpful

Stayed three nights as part of package deal via Brittany Ferries departure from Plymouth. Hotel in nice area, good position close to sea. Room on first floor at front of hotel. Large bedroom with good en-suite facilities - twin beds that had seen better days and poor quality pillows. Room would be OK as long as you had quiet neighbours who retired to bed before midnight - bedroom doors are heavy and noisy when being closed. No aircon in room, would be stifling in July-August temperatures. Main road runs past hotel but quiet by midnight. Female reception staff friendly and helpful. Miserable breakfast staff leave guests waiting at entrance to dining room unsure whether to sit at a table or be directed - no greeting when eventually recognised. Hot food items poor, fatty bacon, "wet" scrambled egg and "hot dog" type sausages - revolting! - cereals, not much choice, fruit, bread etc OK. Would not stay at this hotel again.

Probably Santander is not the most memorable town in Spain. But Hotel Sardinero is probably one of the best places to stay. Not luxuriuos, but nice. Recently restored. In the great Sardinero beach area. Definitely would go back if again in Santander

“Perfect location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 October 2004

I spent one night in October 2004 at the Sardinero and really enjoyed the location. The rooms are very plain and nothing special, but the rooms facing the beach are great. For $57 euros I had a third floor room with a view of the beach. The hotel is also right across from the Grand Casino (where I won $359 euros at blackjack) which is a great place. The desk staff were helpful and pleasant, and except for the bed being kind of hard (like most beds in Europe) I would highly recommend this hotel.

“A great place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 December 2002

Every June we take the cruise ferry from Plymouth, England to the town of Santander, Cantabria, Spain and make a point of staying at the Hotel Sardinero. Although it only carries 3 stars, this hotel is a trully excellent place to stay. It is situated in the Plaza d'Italia, facing the Casino and the beautiful Sardinero beach. Here you can sit at a table on the patio and watch the world go by or have a snack and a drink in the busy bar/cafeteria. It seems half the people of Santander pass through the bar each day; it is really a popular meeting place. In the evening the "Pub" opens; this is a very comfortable bar with armchairs and sofas and also has an excellent selection of spirits. The restaurant serves lunch and evening meal (table d'hote and a la carte) at very competitive prices. The head waiter is charming.
The rooms are all individually designed, those at the front are a "must" for their views of the sea and also of the Magdalena Palace.
To sum up: A first class hotel which draws visitors back year on year.......highly recommended.
