We recently spent a night here on our way back to the UK from the port of Santander.
We were before arriving slightly wary as one review says it is situated in an industrial area and we did have difficulty initially in finding this hotel.However when we eventually arrived the location didn't seem as bad as we had imagined. Despite being out in the suburbs of Santander where English is not generally understood the girl on reception was very welcoming and did speak English. Our room was we have to say extremely comfortable particularly after a long drive and was very spacious.-the bathroom was huge. Unfortunately being a Sunday night the adjoining bar/restaurant did not provide any meals but we were directed to a small restaurant a mile down the road which was fine.We came back to the hotel bar for a night cap and joined the locals.It was refreshing to be amongst genuine Spanish people in their own environment rather than what is usually experienced on the 'Costa's.
We have no complaints at all about this hotel and would not hesitate in staying again.

The three-star Hotel Los Angeles in Bóo de Guarnizo, Santander, Cantabria, part of the Sercotel chain, is a good bet if you need a sleep over next to Santander Airport, or if you are travelling around in your car and are just interest in a clean and quiet place to sleep.

Being in the middle of an industrial area, it will never be an experience on its own, but it is very practical and have a big parking.

Two floors have been recently renovated, and offer a good power shower, quiet air conditioning, good mattress, and neatly decorated rooms - So request one of these rooms.

It has a free, good signal, no-fuss, WiFi connection.

The continental breakfast is served in the bar next door (still part of the hotel building), with really good coffee, fresh natural orange juice, sandwich and pastry, either at the table or at the counter in a true Spanish style.

Finding the hotel was a bit of a challenge, since the post code in Expedia was incorrect, and therefore the SatNav was very confused. One of the important bits to bear in mind is that there are various towns whose name start with "Bóo", and this one is "Bóo de Guarnizo".

The full and correct address is then:
San Camilo, 1
Town: Bóo de Guarnizo (just outside Santander, close to the airport)
Post Code 39613
Phone: +34 94 254 0419 or 0339
E-mail: comercial@hlosangeles.com

Ask at the counter for a free and detailed Santander map too.

As our flight arrived late, we wanted a hotel which was close to the airport and easy to find in the dark, for just one night. This fitted the bill, and there is plenty of parking at the hotel.

The desk staff spoke English, the room was very nice and clean, as one would expect. The air conditioning worked very well.

The bar/cafe, where breakfast is served, is used by locals- which we liked. Again the staff in the bar were friendly, though no English spoken.

A glimpse at an internet map or Google Earth clearly shows that the hotel is near the industrial zone, and sure enough there are refinery flares visible, especially at night, not too far away in the middle distance.

Living in a secluded rural location we do notice traffic noise, but there was none to speak of ( we were on the second floor facing the main road).

We were very happy with our one night stop off, and would use it again for the same purpose,

HOTEL LOSANGELES MISLEADING WEBSITE

We stayed at Hotel Los Angeles, Santander in december 2006. The photos on the website encouraged us to book because it looked really nice. However when we arrived we were disappointed as the website is totally misleading. There is no swimming pool or fitnesse equipment on site it is actually a ten minute walk away, however on the website it is put in as property amentities.
There was also no satelite or cable T.V in the rooms as described, or in the hotel at all.
Our air-conditioning in the room was only blowing cold air so we were freezing at night.
The restaurant was shut, we had to eat in the bar area, the food was awful, customers were putting cigarettes out on the floor, it was filthy.
Lastly there was building work going on,on the 2nd floor, which was from 9 o,clock in the morning until 6 at night. The walls are really thin and there was no respite from the constant banging except for one hour for dinner, they didnt even stop for siesta. When we booked with this hotel we were not told anything whatsoever about building work going on. The receptionist could speak limited english until we went to complain about the noise, then her response was non comprende. I would not reccomend this hotel in anyway it totally ruined our stay.
