Room - The hotel is located right on the beach and our apartment had a sea view which was absolutely fantastic. The apartment was really spacious and light with very comfortable beds and spacious clean bathrooms. There was a terrace room (not really a balcony) that ran the length of the apartment which was lovely and warm in May - perfect for drying swimming gear and sitting to read but I imagine it could get quite hot in the summer months.
Staff - were always friendly and as helpful as could be although we had some miscommunication in the bar/cafe at times - we definitely need to brush up on our Spanish as not their fault! The whole area is quite unspoilt so expect to make an effort with the language and culture, it was really nice to not be in a big resort geared to Brits.
Food - We didn't have breakfast as the apartment had a kitchenette which was adequate for light meals (fridge, microwave, hob, toaster) - no kettle though so if you are British, prepare to boil water for tea in a pan! Well equipped kitchen in terms of pans and utensils. The fridge wasn't massive but there is a supermarket just down the road so easy to stock up.
Activities - The indoor pool was small but warm and great for our kids to play in as it was so quiet there was no-one else there. We also made use of the gym, table football and table tennis so plenty to do on-site. There is a garden with loungers but you could not access this from the pool area which would have been nice although maybe this is different later in the season. We travelled half an hour into the mountains to access a guided Via Ferrata trip with Vulcan Adventures - stunning but challenging and also a guided canoe trip on the Ason river with CanoAson - highly recommended. Just up the coast, Noja is an amazing beach and has a good choice of restaurants and cafes.
The best bit for us tho was access to the most beautiful beach - great waves for surfing, sand for playing or just early morning walks - so gorgeous.

Exceeded my expectations, especially the modern furnishings, nice bathrooms, spacious rooms and very helpful owner. Good location with lots of restaurants and supermarkets nearby. I have stayed in many similar accommodations at this price range and this might have been the best one yet. It was perfect for after a long day of walking the Camino.

We were pleasantly surprised to discover that Santona is an anchovy capital of Spain and the town where the owner of Columbus' Santa Maria ship lived. We also went up the hill to check out fortresses and the statue of Virgen del Puerto. Our main goal was surfing so happy to say that Santona was well-located to the spots we wanted to surf. Even if you are not a surfer check out Trengandin beach on a low tide. It's very pretty.

Santona is a lovely fishing town with a busy port area that processes the anchovies & tuna which is caught locally. The main town square is delightful in the late afternoon into the evening with a lot of bars / restaurants. At least 3 banks with ATM's so very handy if you need to get cash.

Santoña has fantastic beaches (including dog friendly ones), and the harbour area and seafront promenade is wonderful.
The town itself is a bit of a mixture of lovely old buildings but some horrible new ones - strolling around there are hundreds of bars and tapas places. And it is small enough to just walk everywhere (finding a parking space is challenging around lunchtime or the evening but once you find a space leave your car there -no parking charges anywhere - and just walk.
Good dinning options were limited, but a fantastic fish restaurant called the Napoleon is a must! Don’t be put off by the basic, canteen style set up of the tables, the fish is the very best!!
The quayside bull ring is also worth a visit and you will be allowed to walk around and savour the atmosphere of the unique location.
A walk to one of the beaches passes through a unique marsh area with all sorts of birds diving for fish.
The locals are all super friendly and welcoming and it was lovely how helpful everyone was.
Really, really enjoyed our time in Santoña and wished it had been for more time.

Great beach with smooth white sand and good waves for surfing
The water is warm for such place.
You can try great seafood and fish - it will be fresh and tasty.
It is a great place for surfing and for learning to surf.
The people were extremely friendly, helpful and accommodating. Very clean and comfortable.
We have stayed at a number of places, including hotels on our trip in Spain. This stay has been the best in my opinion. The best sleep and rest we have had on our trip.
I would recommend it highly.
Nautical theme throughout the hotel which was great. Included maps, model ships, posters/paintings. Good location, nearby Eroski supermarket. Bathroom was smaller than usual. Comfortable beds. Fully staffed reception counter, which is nice when most other properties don’t.
Fantastic place to spend some days in Santoña. The apartment is very conformable and has access to a nice garden. The location is unbeatable because you are just one step away from the main square and the marine parade. We simply loved it.
We enjoyed our overnight stay at this funky boutique hotel as a stop on the Camino del Norte. The beds were comfortable. The room was quiet. WiFi was good. There is a bar downstairs. Sheila communicated with us early and often.
The breakfast was wonderful and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. We have stayed here many times and cannot over state what a delightful find this hotel is.
A beautiful appartment in a beautiful building right in the center of Santona. Alvaro was a great host and always available during our stay. We highly recommend
