Hotel Chiqui garners high praise for its prime location with scenic sea views, particularly from rooms with balconies, and its relaxing atmosphere. While some guests note that the rooms could be more spacious and better equipped with basics like tea or coffee facilities, the overall cleanliness and modern amenities receive positive attention. The staff's professionalism contributes to the hotel's charm, enhancing the stay for many visitors. Although concerns are raised about parking and restaurant costs, the value offered by the hotel's amenities, including the swimming pools, is commonly appreciated.

A very nice hotel and all the staff were pleasant and helpful……..but it was so cold. There are radiators everywhere in the hotel but apparently these don’t work. We were given a heater but the bathroom was freezing, as were all the corridors and the bar.

Great location overlooking the promenade. Comfortable rooms. Staff are very helpful. The wi-fi wasn't working so our room was changed. Still no wi-fi. They alerted the technicians and it was quickly resolved. Restaurant serves tasty food at good prices. On-site parking available. Underground parking available at an additional charge. But clearance was an issue with our 4x4.

We had a lovely experience during our 24 hour stop-over in Santander. Ivanka was the receptionist who dealt with us, and she was friendly and obliging. The hotel is beautifully situated in the seafront. The bedroom was clean and comfortable. We would highly recommended staying here. Thanks for a lovely stay. M&N O Higgins. (Ireland)

Wonderful experience! Everything was fantastic: reception, services, room, breakfast, restaurant, environment and all the city. I warmly suggest this hotel to all. Good position to reach the city center and the beach, and the light fire also

Great hotel in an amazing location with very polite and helpful workers. The view is extraordinary and the beach is a few meters from the hotel. Also the breakfast is very good with many options, especially the sandwichies were fantastic a lot.

I picked this hotel as it was in Santander and I was sailing for the UK the following morning. I was not expecting the hotel to be so welcoming with great facilities. The lady in the reception was so helpful explaining everything to me and providing a map and bus information. She also recommended local eateries. The room 425 had a lovely terrace with a view of the beach. Breakfast was amazing with a varied selection. I expected nothing and was provided with everything. Well done

From the moment we walked into the Hotel Chiqui's entry lobby and through the comfortable, modern lounge, my wife and I realised this was going to be an ejoyable experience. This impression was immdiately matched by the warm welcome we received from the very nice lady on reception, whose excellent English made the registration process very simple. Without any prompting from us, she upgraded our double room to one with a balcony and a fabulous view to the beach and the mountains beyond the city. Our fourth floor room was compact but well designed and very comfortable, with a well equipped ensuite bathroom. On arrival, we booked dinner for that evening, a decision that proved to be a very good one: with its elegantly designed interior, the Panorama restaurant's menu offered a really interesting range of unusual culinary options, matched perfectly by the food itself, which proved to be outstanding. As were the various members of staff who served us, being both friendly and professional in undertaking their duties. Our breakfast experence the following morning proved to be equally pleasing: a very simple but well-designed space with comfortable lighting and a soft acoustic quality. Even better, on offer in the room was an extraordinary range of food and beverage options, all beautifully prepared and presented. We liked everything about our stay in the Hotel Chiqui and intend to return whenever we gat a chance!

Delightful experience marked by a charming ambiance and attentive service. The room's modern elegance and comfortable amenities made for a cozy retreat. The hotel staff's friendliness and attention to detail were commendable, contributing to an overall positive impression. However, a notable quirk dampened my experience – the walls separating the bathrooms were not as soundproof as the rest of the room. Regrettably, I could distinctly hear activities in the neighboring bathroom, affecting the overall tranquility of my stay. Despite this acoustic challenge, remains a promising choice for those who prioritize comfort and style. I hope the management addresses the soundproofing issue to further enhance the guest experience.
