Advertised as a 4-star hotel, I would consider Silken Rio as a good 3-star hotel instead. Having sampled 2, 3, and 4-star hotels all over Spain, the rooms were on the (very) small side when compared to other 4-star hotels. They also had carpet instead of the nice hardwood or tile in all other 4-star we stayed. They must have... more

Outstanding location overlooking the fabulous Sardinero beach at the far eastern end of Santander. We booked on the hotel´s own website and paid 15 euros more for a room "Deluxe Mar" which looked impressive on the website. Having our expectations raised, we were slightly disappointed as the room was pretty small, with a tiny imitation balcony. The views (across the... more

We stayed in this hotel in June 2008 . The rooms were clean and well equipped with a bath (much better than the dreaded showers most hotels prefer!). I was with a Spanish speaker and so can't comment on the English of the staff, however, she did say that they were not particularly friendly. The hotel is just across from... more

We have just arrived back from the Silken Rio Santander and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hotel is clean and located right beside the beach. We found the staff pleasant although their english speaking wasn't great but we were able to communicate ok. The beaches are beautiful and set among breathtaking scenery. The city of Santander is typically spanish and... more

We booked through Brittany Ferries and a coach took us to the Hotel, if you are planning on driving to this Hotel then from either direction you need to look at the roof as the signs are displayed at the top on each end of the building, their is also a small sign over the door but the big neon... more

This is the former Hotel Rhin at Sardinero Beach. The Silken chain has already made some improvements, and I was told that more will follow. We had a small balcony, and the view was absolutely gorgeous. Our only real complaint was that the carpets were stained. The cafeteria and dining room are acceptable, but there are a number of excellent... more

This hotel was previously called Hotel Rhin, and was recently acquired by the Silken group. We had a little difficulty locating it at first because, unlike other hotels in Santander (and Spain more generally), there was no clear signage on the outside indicating that this was the Silken Rio: most of the branding on the building's exterior advertised the hotel's... more

This 4-star hotel is directly opposite the beach and close to the casino in Santander. Rooms are quiet, air-conditioned and have pleasant views. I was there with teenage children and we were the only non-Spanish in the hotel. I cab definitely recommend it as I only have one small quibble-at breakfast they play loud, boring english language rock music !... more

Visiting Santander my wife and I wanted some information about the hotel Silken Rhio (Rhin) nicely located at the beach of Sardinero close to the casino. In Spanish I said good morning to the receptionist and asked, in Spanish, if he did speak English or French. With some bluntness he asked me if I did speak Castillan. I retorted that... more

We were originally intending to stay at the Hotel Sardinero (3 star)but eventually plumped for the Rhin for its 4 star rating and the location. We had a great view of Sardinero beaches 1 and 2 which were literally 50 yards away. The room was not very big but had a good bathroom. Breakfast was pretty good with fruit, cereals... more
