An interesting place to relax and discover the culture of the northern part of Spain, a safe city. Excellent cuisine famous for tapas/pintxos e.g. in the market in the city centre. Lots of parks and green spaces, friendly people. The Cabo Faro lighthouse is worth a visit, there are the beaches and their lively bustle, the Magdalena peninsula and the market in the centre of town, where you can enjoy a great meal. Lots of museums to visit.

A handsome, friendly city which is undoubtedly underrated as a destination. Safe, clean, lots of varied sights, beautiful coastal walks right from the city centre. Inexpensive! Superb prehistoric museum. Bring a jacket / umbrella, it's cooler and wetter than elsewhere in Spain. Note: it is a very monolingual area: other than in hotels and the occasional individual in a shop or cafe, most people there speak ONLY Spanish!

This was our 3rd visit to Santander in 12 months.
This was our 3rd visit to Santander in 12 months. For £31 per person return flights from the UK, it is cheaper than staying at home.
Santander is a vibrant, fun and energetic city with plenty to occupy any visitor. The food options are to many to count and the bars are fun and friendly through the evening.

I saw lots of reviews recommending this town.
I saw lots of reviews recommending this town. It was not for me. The planetarium, which many raved about? Closed. Has been closed for a while, actually. And apparently when it was open, it wasn't open to walk-ins. Tour groups only, pre-booked, minimum of 5 people.
Many restaurants were reservation only, actually. Many more were closed.
Saw my first homeless tent encampment ten minutes after arriving in the city. Graffiti everywhere. So many ATMs on Google maps, marked closed. Shops closed or going out of business. "Rebajas" signs everywhere. So many multi-lingual beggars.
Lots of smashed windows, sadly. The town looked like some of the worse areas of other cities I've been to, but all over. Even the church, which was recommended as a very nice building, had homeless and beggars in it. I was there on Sunday (so many things closed) and Monday. For a place supposedly well known for it's meals of fresh fish, mine was bland at best. For a Spanish town, surprisingly few tapas places.

Santander is so quaint.
Santander is so quaint. The historic buildings are beautiful. There are so many bars, tapas bars and restaurants everything is so easy to find and within walking distance. It just felt so clean and just a lovely place to visit we will be back. We went to Bilbao for the day on the bus from the bus station, but pre book your seats as it’s always busy. It takes about 1.5 hours but well worth it then you can jump on the tram line into the centre
There were too many bars and restaurants to mention but the one right outside the hotel was wonderful too.
At a first glance, when we arrived outside the hotel, we weren't impressed with what the building looked like. However, when we got into the room, we were pleasantly surprised to see how clean it was and how spacious the bathroom and wardrobes were. The staff at the reception were very friendly and polite and so were the cleaning ladies. Our room was cleaned on a daily basis, even the dishes were washed.
The location is great, 10-15 min walk from the beach and the city centre.
We have stayed in Hotel Bahia whenever we go to Santander. it’s ideally located near the centre and all the lively bars and restaurants. ALS handy for the port. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and spotless. The staff are friendly and helpful, especially when it came to printing out our test results and passenger locator forms. on sight parking is pricey but so is everywhere else. Nice tapas bars just around the corner.
It is four star and you can see the Sardinero beach from the hotel. There are five lifts. The corridors are splendid. The rooms are nice. The bathroom has a phone and a bidet. The shower has as well as the overhead sprinkler a separate hose for body-rinse. There is a desk, two comfy chairs and a table. There's a fridge. There's a safe. There are plenty of drawers and storage space.
The room was very clean which was very important to me. Thanks for a hotel that actually takes pride in keeping the rooms clean and well cared for! Comfy bed, nice hot shower and quiet. Towels and sheets were good and clean without fragrance. Well designed. Nice staff. Bathroom good and clean condition, didn't see any mold or anything. I would stay there again.
Great location right between the historical city center and the beach, so it was very easy to go by foot to either of those locations. The hotel is actually located right next to the tunnel that leads to the city center.
The staff at the reception desk was very helpful and explained to us what we should see in Santander during our stay.
Lovely grand old style hotel with exceptional staff. Dinner in the restaurant was superb as was breakfast. Location was excellent, just a short walk to the beach where we found a lovely beach bar. There was a lovely promendade and fantastic area with restaurants and shops. Santander is very lovely indeed. Highly recommended ❤️
Motorcycle friendly hotel with secure off street parking near the beach at Santander. Excellent staff allowed an early check in and gave great advice re where to go and what to do. Comfortable well appointed room with balcony and beach views. Lovely restaurant with a surprising good set menu for diner.
Absolute fabulous hotel! Modern and the rooms were comfy and very clean we stayed here for 3 nights and everyday the room was always cleaned to an exceptional standard!
Staff were great and very hospitable! Would definitely recommend and will more than likely be back to stay again ☺️
It was very clean, cozy and modern. The view from the room was very pretty - on the ocean side. The hotel is located in a very beautiful are of Santander, very close to the main beaches. The bus station for the city center is 5 min away from the hotel. Loved it!
The hotel has the perfect location, right next to the Sardinero beach, just cross the street and you are at the beach. The staff was friendly, we got a sea view room which was amazing, rooms were very nice, clean. I will definitely return here.
close to the beach El Sardinero, bakery next to the hotel - easy for coffee and breakfast, friendly staff, cleaning every day, toiletteries, good value for the money, restaurant nearby, vending machine for drinks and chocolate snacks
Hotels around 10 minutes walk west of the stations in Santander. Breakfast good, did'nt try the Ham and Cheese option though. Great coffee. Alessandra very helpfull. Impressive bathroom, very powerfull shower.
The hotel was very quaint old home turned into a hotel. It was a short walk to the beach. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast in the basement was good. The room was quiet and clean.
What we loved about this hotel was our Sea Room view! The room size and set up was great and the view was AMAZING!!!! A pleasure to wake up everyday with the beach right in front!
