10/10 Exceptional

Highly Recommend
The greatest asset is the staff. They were endlessly helpful to me in working out all sorts of issues, especially about train travel in Spain. One negative for me: the sharply sloping ceilings in my room are hazardous to a tall person. I hit my head hard several times during my stay. Next time I would like a different style of room if they are available.

Lovely hotel by the beach
Lovely hotel in Santander. We were upgraded to two spacious rooms with a beautiful view over the beach. The breakfast was also really good with a lot of variety, they even had cava. I really recommend this hotel, would definitely come back!

Fantastic location across from the beach
This hotel is in a fantastic location across from the beach and is near some very good pintxos bars. It's also only a very short walk from the Palico de Magdelana, and its a very pleasant walk into town.

Stayed in Tower
Stayed in the tower room as we were up graded, which was lovely, but the stairs were tricky to negotiate in the night when we needed the loo. Otherwise lovely room with spectacular views.
