The location is ok, but the hotel needs an urgent renovation. You can still smell the asbestos kind of furnishings and carpets manufactured with cheap unhealthy materials. The so called 'design' of the hotel is a wild mixture of an african farm, nostalgic memorabila of bullfighters and a bland concrete interior design. More

We stayed here before getting the ferry back to England for 2 nights, we wanted somewhere a bit special for a last few days so chose here...hmm. I had booked it due to the website saying FREE PARKING. Yes, it is free, if you can get into the TINY, cramped car park at the front of the building. It was... More

Having driven for 700 hundred kms. across Spain we wanted a bath, a hot meal and a comfortable bed before the ferry home. At the Palacio Del Mar we found a comfortable room but a cool reception at best. The room was excellent - very roomy and well equipped. We even had our own jacuzzi. However when we went for... More

Loaction is close to the beach but it is a rundown area. We found both the hotel and Santander a big disappointment. Hotel is next to a funfair which is very tacky as is much of the beach front. Main gripe is the cost which was twice what we paid in other parts of Spain - €270 for a family... More

I arrived in Santander needing a hotel for one night before catching the ferry back to the UK, and called at the first on my list the Chiqui, sadly they were full (it looked a super place) and directed me to the above, saying it was an excellent hotel. The situation isn't ideal, being surrounded by main roads on three... More

Recently spent two nights at this 4* hotel which is a short walk from the beach at El Sardinero and from its golf course. At the other end of the beach we found a lovely restaurant (Entretapas y Vinos). The reception and concierge staff at the hotel were efficient and friendly enough. We didn't think much of the exterior of... More

Stayed at the hotel recently, having booked a cheap late autumn break in northern Spain. The hotel was good. The decor in some of the public areas was "unusual" to be honest - elephants head rearing out of the wall etc. BUT the hotel itself was very good. We got a big suite - plenty of room and in excellent... More

Terrible Hotel in a terrible location. We actually cancelled our reservation and went to El Real. More of a 1 star then a 4 star. Hotel is in cement city, 3+ blocks from the beach and surrounded by ugly big buildings and no grass. Amenities not in hotel, but in a sports arena with 100s of kids. Not a place... More

Have just spent two days at the hotel where I found the quality of the accomodation excellent. It is very close to the beach but a long walk to the city centre although there is ample public transport close by. If you enjoy walking it is along the shoreline all the way past some pleasant gardens and parks. I found... More
