A lovely small city, however tourism is not a big thing in the town. Limited options for tourists such as seeing the town or history. Limited English spoken, which I enjoyed, this is a good Spanish city. If you want to see a traditional and surprisingly green part of Spain, then you will enjoy Santander.

A hidden gem. Excellent for walking and lots to explore. El Sardinero is a magnificent beach which the authorities work hard to maintain. More must be done however to keep the pavements clear of dog muck in all parts of the town.

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.
We have stayed in Hotel Bahia a few times and always book any time we travel to Santander. Clean and comfortable bedroom with fantastic views over the bay. Polite, friendly and professional reception staff. Bar staff gave excellent drinks service. Lovely public areas. Hotel is located across from ferry terminal and within a few minutes walk of city centre. The Sardinero Beach area is a 30 minute walk along a beautiful promenade. There are plenty of buses if you dont want to walk. We will book Hotel Bahia the next time we travel to Santander.
Modern and very clean rooms. Big bathroom with 2 sinks. Tasty national breakfast. You can make coffee or tea 24/7 at the breakfast line. Superb location near beautiful park of pines, and very close to El Sardinero beach. Hotel staff was careful and kind. Even if you will meet any questions or problems during your vacation in Santander, hotel staff will do everything to help you and answer all your questions. Especially big thanks to Jorge and Lara. Suite Home Pinares is definitely the best place to stay in Santander!!!
First I really liked the easy to use underground parking facility accessed via a lift. The reception staff were welcoming and the porter took our cases to our room. The room was larger than expected, with sufficient storage space for our clothes. The bed was large and comfortable. Good WiFi. Quiet. The breakfast has a good range of hot and cold foods. Meals in the cafeteria are also good. Hotel is situated by the beach. Plus there are bars and restaurants nearby. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
A boutique hotel indeed, very small, but perfect for a short stay. Very comfortable and quiet, great facilities, immaculately clean. Parking was easy to find. The hotel is a 2 minute walk to a beautiful beach, and about a 10 minute drive to the ferry terminal. Theresa suggested a fish restaurant about 20 mins walk from the hotel, which was a fantastic experience. Also, the route takes you through an old tunnel under part of Santander. And a good selection for breakfast in the morning.
Excellent hotel, situated in a family palace in reaching distance of the Santander area. The hotel was beautifully decorated, the rooms were great as well as the common areas, including a pool with great views over the valley. We also had great dinner and breakfast in the property. Staff were very friendly and helpful. One of the top hotels we stayed in through our road trip through Spain.
Our room was spacious and well equipped with large balcony and partial sea view. This is our favourite hotel and location in Santander as it is possible to walk to most areas. The staff were very friendly and efficient. The new outside terrace area was a bonus and the gardens are a very pleasant place to eat also. Beautiful beaches and lovely walks are on the doorstep.
Excellent location overlooking Puertochico and in walking distance of the fantastic food and bar scene of Santander. This small boutique hotel has very clean and modern rooms and the daily supplied sweet bread and apples is a very nice touch. The greatest asset however is the very friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating staff!
This was a modern, clean and well-maintained facility in a perfect location across from Santander's amazing beach. We had to park the car in the nearby neighborhood, requiring a short walk, but it's a beautiful neighborhood and the walk was an enjoyable part of the experience.
The hotel is situated overlooking the port in central Santander so ideal for exploring the city. The spacious rooms are very tastefully decorated. We had a late arrival by air so we needed a central location for a bed for the night, it was very comfortable and quiet.
A spacious and modern hotel located near the beach and close to bars and restaurants. The breakfast choice was a buffet style but extremely good, catering for all tastes, diets and requirements. We were given a secure and convenient area to store our bicycles.
A wonderful location overlooking the entire beach. Hotel was large, and designed to accomodate a number of guests. The kitchen produced several interesting and tasty dishes, the breakfast was above average, both in terms of variety and quality.
Fantastic staff (both hotel and restaurant). Lovely big room. Great location for Santander's beaches. In its day this would have been a superb hotel, now it's looking a little tired but good value and we enjoyed our stay(and will book again)
Excellent location. The washing machine was also a dryer! Unexpected bonus and unusual in Spain. Kitchen well stocked with dishes. We enjoyed our evenings in the apt when the temperature cooled down (see below ). Beds comfortable.
This hotel was absolutely perfect for a stay in Santander. The ladies in reception were very helpful and the facilities were always clean and calming. I would 100% recommend staying at Hotel Chiqui.
The staff were awesome!! Had an issue with parking which was totally unrelated to the hotel but they solved the problem for us!! Room was very comfortable and we loved all the pillows 💕
