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.

We used Santander as a base to explore prehistoric caves, historical sites and the surrounding parks. Six days barely got us started. I will say going in January worked well as temperatures were mild and rain was sporadic. We didn’t leave enough time to explore all the city but people were friendly, there were new things to see everywhere and the food is great.

My wife and I have visited Santander on several occasions,...
My wife and I have visited Santander on several occasions, but did not go into the city centre on this occasion as we wanted a hotel that was within a short journey to the airport for an early flight the following morning. The Hotel Chiqui facing the Sardinero beach fitted our requirements perfectly.
The hotel is located across the road from ferry terminal. Rail and bus stations are a 5 minute walk away. Very central location for shopping or walking on promenade. The Sardinera beach area is a 40 minute stroll away. There are plenty of buses going to beach area. All staff were polite, friendly and professional. We had a comfortable large room. The public areas are very nicely furnished. We have stayed in the hotel a few times and never been disappointed. I would recommend Hotel Bahia to family and friends.
When we arrived, the staff were absolutely wonderful. Telling us exactly where we could park a vehicle .Couldn't do enough for us. before visiting you, we stopped in two big luxury hotels, one of which in barcelona . Their facilities were OK but not what I would classify 5 star or whatever stars they like to call them. Where as your facility was 5 star to me and my partner . Arrive and find slippers and bath robes provided was a nice touch and well appreciate .
Clean rooms and comfortable beds. Staffed reception is a bonus and very helpful. Well priced for Santander. Reasonable location about a mile from town walking through a road tunnel, or half a mile from the large beach in the other direction. Cafe, bar and restaurant on the ground floor of the building is excellent for breakfast or evening meals. The hotel is actually the first floor of an private apartment block.
Everyone in the hotel was so nice. It really makes a huge difference. Wally, who was at the reception desk went above and beyond to make us comfortable and he was so helpful. But the award goes to the lovely lady making our breakfast Mariana. She was so sweet and the day we were leaving, she even packed us a little Picnic bag for the journey. what more can I say?
The location was great. The hotel is nice you feel the history of the place. But I wouldn’t say it’s a 5 stars GL. The service is not 5 stars GL. Rooms are clean, big but a bit outdated. Showers were recently renovated and very nice and comfy, really liked it. The breakfast was good. The view from our room was stunning ! This is something we really enjoyed.
This is an urban hotel nearby the bus station, city center, It is located in front of the bay of Santander right near the Centro Botin. The neighborhood of los pescadores and its restaurants is within walking distance. The rooms are excellent as well as the staff. Good and varied breakfast. We would return to this hotel.
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.
We loved the infinity pool and the loungers. nice rooms overlooking the beach. Staff were super helpful and very attentive. Breakfast was really good too, nice range of food & all very fresh. very stylish panorama lounge bar. Would highly recommend Hotel Chiqui
The hotel was conveniently located near the ferry port with parking available for a couple of motorcycles. The staff were exceptional and the room was clean and modern and was ideal for an overnight stay or a bit longer if you were exploring Santander.
Hotel staff members were friendly and helpful. Our room was very clean, well furnished, and comfortable. We ate dinner both nights in the hotel's restaurant and thoroughly enjoyed both meals. All in all, we had a great stay at the Hotel Victoria.
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)
The staff at the hotel were extremely friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel is perfect for Santander, you are right next to the beach and can walk in to town and local sights. A good clean, comfortable hotel.
location. near the beach & restaurants and tourist bus. great view from room.
really enjoyed Santander. beautiful city. hotel was clean nice bathroom and lovely staff. bed comfy and great linen.
Superb hotel. Spotless with excellent staff from cleaners on. Comfortable and friendly. Menu a bit limited but excellent restaurants within 300 metres. Breakfast superb and cafe/bar nice
A great location with parking, just a short walk from the beach. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The room was modern and very clean. Highly recommend.
Location - short walk to a wonderful beach, restaurants, and bars. Street parking is free in the area of the hotel and it wasn't difficult for us to find a space.
