I was very excited to come to this famous hotel, apparently one of the best in Spain. The charming building (an old castle), it's gardens and the spa were the reasons for my boyfriend to book it. We arrived late at night, we checked in and went to the room. As it says in its website, I was expecting a... More

I had great service, especially the bellhop, and a gorgeous, huge room here. The breakfast buffet was good and had great service. The view out my window was unbelievable. I toured Spain and this was one of the nicest hotels I stayed at, with a deep marble tub, an entry door that buffered any noise. The place is above the... More

We booked the Hotel Real for the last night of a trip to Northern Spain as it is near the ferry terminal and looked good on the web. It is impressive architecturally, set amongst other grand residences in the heights above Santander. We were straight away given a room that smelt of tobacco smoke, we declined so we got one... More

This has to be one of the best hotels you will ever stay in if you are into Agatha Christie period buildings furniture and atmosphere. It is well maintained, clean, spacious, well appointed and in a superb location with the best views Santander has to offer. Our room was on the 4th floor and had a small balcony offering views...

Recently attended a business conference here with clients from Spain but this really doesn't feel like a conference facility. The hotel has a comfortable feel that hints at luxury without making you feel like you have to be on the world's richest list to stay there. I like another reviewers comparison to a 1930's movie. The building has a rich... More

This hotel has been around for nearly 100 years so it must be doing something right. We were last here 10 years ago, it was great then and it is great now. It is a place for relaxation, peace and quiet. It is not a place for young children or for people who like their hotels full of glass and... More

We were really looking forward to this end of our hoilday. I tried to book a hotel near a beach with a pool. The beach is fairly close but only up and down a VERY steep hill. We ended up getting taxis back. The pool is a thallasotherapy pool so not a fun pool for the children - and you... More

Excellent room, impeccable service- just like a 5 star hotel in a 1930s movie: professional and pleasant without being too attentive. I also obtained an excellent price for a two-night stay. More

We stayed here for one night, having arrived at 7 pm on the overnight ferry from Portsmouth, England. The hotel was all that we had hoped for (unlike some previous reviewers). We had paid in advance for a standard room and were pleased to find a large corner room on the 4th floor, above the reception area (I THINK it... More

Stayed at the Real this month (July 2011) as a mature couple (early 60s). The hotel is very impressive and in a dominant location providing very good views (as long as you have a room facing them). The hotel is s bit of a time capsule, and it provides an old world experience. The hotel was built to service the... More
