Hotels near Santander, Santander

Just got back from a lovely 7 night stay at Hotel Bahia. We booked the holiday package through Brittany ferries. Our room on the 5th floor lovely and quite and had the most fantastic view looking out to the sea and mountains. The Room was a good size with tv, fridge with complementary water, lovely big walk in shower, could have done with a kettle but we took our own. Breakfast was included in our package plenty to choose from the buffet. The staff on reception where very helpful if you needed anything. The hotel is close to all the shops and restaurants and a bus ride to the beaches. There's restaurant and cafe bar at the hotel, the staff are all really lovely especially Britana who always looked after us in the bar (not sure if l spelt her name right) apologies if l haven't. We eat in the hotel restaurant a couple of times food a bit pricey but nice. I would definitely recommend this hotel for exploring Santander.

Absolutely loved the location of this hotel, room was extremely clean and bed was so comfortable. Staff made you feel very welcome and happy to answer your questions and help you. My husband is vegan and after the first day, realised there was no vegan hot food at breakfast. I mentioned this to Reception and wow did they sort this out. Next morning, he was asked what he would like and they offered him so many choices. His breakfast personally made by the chef was amazing and delicious. Same thing happened the next morning. He ate like a King. He was delighted when the chef came out of the kitchen both mornings, so he could thank her. Excellent Customer Service !!!!

Brand new structure (opened at the end of July 2022) in a suburban area near the busy Santander ring roads. Spacious, colorful and very pleasant common areas, friendly and welcoming staff even if the very young age betrays on occasion the lack of experience. Room not very spacious and rather basic with the idea, as scenic as it is uncomfortable, of the shower in the center of the room and only the toilet in a very small separate space. Going to the bathroom you can experience the same experience as astronauts in a Soyuz. Good soundproofing but occasionally a few sirens are heard. The rest, however, was perfect and the beds were also comfortable. It was difficult to find it despite google: the entrance is in a secondary street where, however, there is no sign; it would be enough to add an indication to signal the entrance. We did three laps (of the ring roads and holy navigator!) Before figuring out where the entrance was. There is also a bus stop just a stone's throw away. Free private parking around and under the structure but I don't know if there is enough space for all guests. Very problematic air conditioning: there are thermostats in the room but they do not work or are not enabled, so the air is managed room x room by a panel at the reception to which we had to ask three times to turn it on, then lower it and finally turn it off x night because noisy and annoying given the small size of the room. Very negative We didn't try the breakfast but all in all it seemed like a good point of reference for a stop & go near the airport where actually there are not many alternatives in Santander while I would not recommend it to anyone visiting the city. Surely the young management has some points for improvement but the structure is of a good standard

From the outside the hotel doesn’t look like much but the interior more than makes up for it. Welcomed very nicely by staff and was easy to find our room. Room was a great size and lay out and the bed was incredibly comfy. There were always staff available if needed but we didn’t have any problems. The hotel was in a great location and the beaches and restaurant were lovely.

The hotel is clean and spotless. Spa thermal pool opens long hour from 8am to 10pm which is very convenient. Buffet dinner €18 per person is reasonable and food is good. Breakfast is average, lack of hot dishes. The cafe bar offers some Thai cuisine. They are yummy but very small portions. Me and my husband ordered 3 main courses but were still hungry. We wanted to order the 4th course ”Style Thai beef wok” with an additional bowl of rice and we'd pay for the rice. However the waitress refused simply because a bowl of rice is not on the menu! I suggest the hotel to remove the Style Thai beef wok from the menu if they're not able to provide a bowl of rice to go with it. This is authentic Thai style of eating! Very disappointed ! The cafe service need to improve, too rigid, not customer oriented.

En zona de spa niños con flotadores o manguitos saltando como si fuese una piscina municipal, horrible . Los padres q alientan a sus hijos a seguir molestando sin darse cuenta que es una sitio para relajarse y descansar. Sin nadie que cuide esas acciones y adultos haciéndose fotos y otros sin utilizar gorro....saltándose todas las normas puesto que al entrar lo pone claro que está prohibido . Y la mitad de los chorros en ambas piscinas sin funcionar. En fin un desastre para ir a desconectar y cada vez que vamos ,vemos que va a peor.Hemos decidido cambiar de lugar.Eramos clientes de ir varias veces al año.

Wonderful, historic and charming hotel. I love these small, family run boutique hotels and Casa del Marques did NOT disappoint! Lovely room, comfy bed, clean and pleasant. Front desk staff was super gracious, helpful and pleasant. Breakfast was OK. Bar was great! Even better was the help yourself bar in the picturesque back courtyard, full of blooms, orange and lemon trees and two onsite house cats to make it interesting! Only real comment I would have is that updating the rooms really is in order. The bathrooms need a complete overhaul. Loved the bidet, but renovating / updating the bathroom to include getting rid of the shower-in-the-tub, would be equally as acceptable. Lighting not all that good; fairly dim. The electrical system probably need updating, to include more outlets AND USB / USC outlets be made available in the rooms. My adapter took care of all my needs, but I had to move the mattress out in order to use the single outlet behind the headboard - I used both USB outlets, both USC outlets, and the plug. Crossed my mind that I might be overloading the circuits, but I had no mishaps. Just a crooked mattress. The motion detector lights on the stairwells worked most of the time, but were still not enough. Tripping and falling down the dimly lit stairs - even with the motion detector light on - was a real possibility. An accident (and possible lawsuit) waiting to happen I thought every time I descended the stairs from my room. Since there really isn’t all that much to do in Santillana Del Mar (the Main Street is two blocks long and pretty much a single street filled with souvenir shops, cafes and hotels), this was a lovely hotel to hang out in!

We loved staying at La Casa del Organista! The old building has an interesting history, and each room is unique. The location is perfect, because it's a two minute walk from the main plaza, but provides a quieter setting. We liked sitting on the little balcony and watching the changes of the town during the day. There are also lovely sitting rooms for guests. Breakfast outdoors on the terrace was special, with a view of the 11th and 12th century stone buildings, and may options of food. Free parking is available below the hotel. Rafael greeted us warmly, and made helpful recommendations of what to see in Santillana del Mar, and also where to stop along the way when we drove to another town. We always enjoyed talking with Rafael! (He did warn us not to bump our heads on the slanted ceiling in our third floor room, but somehow we forgot!)
