At the last minute while on holiday in Southern Spain we needed to book a hotel in Santander so used a local travel agent. She called ahead as parking was important to us as we were on a motorbike and wanted to park at the hotel, it was confirmed that parking was available, for a car this would be 9 Euro but as we had a bike it would be free. When we arrived we found out this was not the case, they had about 4/5 spaces on the road outside which were full. 3 other spaces were taken up with skips however there was room behind but were told police may give us a ticket so instead ended up paying 14.50 Euro, there was no offer to waive or reduce this which would have been possible. This was especially galling as in the morning 2 scooters were parked there!!. We had asked for a quiet room high up but but were given one on the 3rd floor (number 200 and something) as a previous reviewer said were woken early by road works. Not a good nights sleep as buses and taxi horns going until late. It was far too pricey and echoing another review is by far the most expensive place we have stayed in Spain for the same standard. Good things - free wifi is good, rooms and bathrooms well appointed and beds comfortable, location good is if using public transport and is great for the ferry but would not stay there again.
Don't stay here if you want a lay in. We were rudely awoken by building work going on on the pavements surrounding the hotel at 8.30. We could feel the vibrations in the building. Holiday nightmare! We booked 3 nights but left after the first night. The hotel itself is nice enough and the staff friendly but I would definitely avoid until the work is complete.
We poured off the ferry and had exactly the sort of journey you want; five minutes! We checked in to a clean and well-equipped room which set the standard for our two weeks in Northern Spain. This is a hotel in a City which should not be overlooked and is worth more than a troubled look at its signposts.
This hotel does everything that it ought. Good professional and friendly checkin, very high standard of cleanliness throughout and the rooms were a delightful surprise. Large light spacious room with very comfortable bed and a huge well appointed bathroom. They provided excellent toiletries and unusually for Spain, tea and coffee in the room. Was also very dog friendly. Excellent location yards from the bus and train station and opposite the ferry port, but no on street noise.
Stayed for 4 nights before getting ferry home. Arrival dealt with profesionally and booking in was informative. Room was spacious, clean well prepared. It was double glazed and thus prevented any noise from the adjacent bus station. The breakfast buffet was good value for money. The on road parking worked well. The staff were welcoming, and helpful in suggesting good local restaurants.. My only gripe was the daily charge of 30 Euros for our dog. would still go there again.
Checked in for four days prior to taking ferry home. Checkin professional, informative and quick. Room spacious,clean, well equipped and double glazed. Keptthenoisefrom the adjacent bus terminus out completelly. Good buffet breakfast avvailable. On street parking. All staff polite,helpful and informative.
Not so impressed with the hotel, 30 euros extra for a dog (toy poodle) seems excessive!!! The receptionist when we checked out was clearly having a bad day, any questions I asked he grunted an answer. The hotel has a bad smell of sewage right through, we had to keep the window open in the bedroom to try and get rid of the smell. Also the prices that I was quoted by booking com was not he price I paid !!! It was much more expensive. With all the additions put on (Dog, Parking, tax) the invoice was double what was quoted. Considering they had absolutely NO restaurant ETC I think it is way over priced P
Excellent location, close to the ferry port - very friendly welcome. The hotel was very clean and our bedroom was well appointed, even had a bath as well as a shower. A good choice of breakfast. We could leave our luggage, without charge, until it was time to check in at the ferry port. Will definitely return.
not that easy to find using the address. parking is limited but the receptionist told us about the hotles own spaces in the street outside, we were lucky enough to get one. everything you would expect from a good quality budget hotel. nice little dining room for breakfast. Hotel is about 15 minutes walk from the main shopping area and the cathedral
Dog Friendly. Only stayed the one night but would have been happy to stay longer. Good sized room on the fourth floor, big comfortable bed. No issues with street or other hotel noise. Very helpful and friendly front desk staff. Did not eat at the hotel so could not comment. The late check-out (12 noon) also a bonus.
