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!
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!!!
Le Petit Boutique Hotel is situated a few hundred yards from the Sardinero beach and within easy walking distance of the Casino and eating places. The rooms are themed on places around the world - we were in New York, on the first floor with patio doors. Fresh bottled water provided each day. The hotel team are charming, welcoming and helpful and the property is kept exceptionally clean. The breakfast was good, fresh fruits, breads and preserves.
Our room was clean, comfortable, and well decorated. The bathroom was large and roomy with a walk-in shower. The hotel staff were very welcoming and helpfully guided us on things to do and see in Santander. The hotel's location was excellent with beaches, bars and restaurants practically on the door-step. The Sandiero beaches were delightful. Thoroughly recommend staying at this hotel.
This property could be amazing – the location - the views over the beach and bay - the private parking but it is badly let down by poor standards and an indifferent owner. Well customers can be indifferent too and so, whilst will be back in Santander, we will not return to Vistas Al Mar. We will give our money to another, hopefully more attentive, property.
Beautiful quiet location, close to beaches with a regular bus service taking just 10 minutes to the centre. Very clean apartment with plenty of space and facilities.santander is a clean and well kept city filled with coffee shops and surrounded by many beautiful beaches, what's not to love!!
Nice restaurant in hotel, with full menu + excellent fixed-price menu, varied daily. Convenient parking in garage under adjacent hotel. Nice walk from hotel around Magdalena Peninsula, along beaches & through park.
Loved everything about this boutique hotel. Perfect, central location, great style and comfort, wonderful view and good quality beds and amenities. Would go back anytime, would have loved to stay longer!
The apartment is very close to the Sardinero beach and walking distance to the center of Santander. The building is fine, with a bar at the ground floor where you can eat for little money.
The location is good with parking below the hotel.
The restaurant is good and fair prices.
Everything works as it should however an iron and ironing board in the room would be welcome
