Sooo friendly. Small quiet hotel within easy walking distance of puerto chico and main town and not far from El Sardinero beach. Really comfortable very welcoming with little details on way in and out. A great place to stay in Santander

Fantastic stay
Exceptional stay ,Daniel was amazing,from the glass of cava to explaining everything,showing us how things worked,and booking a taxi for the airport on departure. Loved the gift breakfast 💕 Room was immaculate, unfortunately we didn't use the pool or the gym but all looked amazing . Excellent location for old town

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.

It was not a full service property. They did supply some sort of breakfast. The cost is too high for the value. Parking was not nearb

Wonderful hotel we couldn't have asked for more from the check in onwards everything was just perfect. We can't recommend this hotel highly enough. Staff deserve praise so professional yet friendly.

Paula looked after us very well. Our initial room had a sink within The bedroom which is not acceptable to us, but Paula sorted a change for the last two nights. Great location for walking to lots of bars as well as waterfront, but quiet generally.

6/10 Good

We didn’t enjoy our stay for two major reasons. We didn’t sleep well because the room was too hot for our liking. The thermostat was set to 23C (73F) and couldn’t be controlled from the room. We live in the San Francisco Bay Area where nights cool to the high 50s to low 60s except on rare occasions. So when we stay at hotels, 18 or 19C is what’s comfortable for sleeping. The second reason we didn’t like it is that there was a little too much fragrance in the room, to our taste anyway. It felt like we were in a gift shop of scents. And the lotion was way too sickeningly sweet. What’s good is that it’s a cute hotel, staff we met were absolutely lovely…location is awesome.

Good location, not far from main harbour front, bus connections and train station. A small hotel so the reception is not manned 24 hrs, but there is an emergency mobile nos to call. We had to use this when our taxi did not turn up for our airport transfer before 8am. Staff were really friendly, complimentary water coffee and cakes were very much appreciated to get us going in the. morning before venturing out for a proper breakfast. Our rooms were on the ground floor, which we did not like very much as they opened out into the reception area. But it was a quiet hotel with minimal noise so not really a big issue. Would definately recommend and would use again if we are back in Santander.

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

10/10 Exceptional

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!
