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.

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 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.
What an amazing hostel! We loved the staff - super helpful. Great location (opposite the bus station, few steps from airport bus), super clean, cozy relax room with kitchen well equipped. Simple breakfast included (surprise!), with a great coffee. Electric plug, lamp and charger near your bed, only for you. Simply all we needed. Cheerful atmosphere, unique!
It was our last night stay on our vacation, so nice experience. We leave Spain with tears in our eyes, thanks to jamon and this hostel! Thank you, we'll come back soon!
The hotel is conveniently located a bit outside the centre of Santander (just over 1 mile), directly by the beach (street between hotel and beach).
The staff are very friendly and helpful and the breakfast is very good.
The rooms could be a little bit bigger but after all we weren’t there to just stay in the room but to explore the area.
Contrary to the information by booking.com the parking was free (white zone).
There are frequent buses 50 m from the hotel into Santander downtown.
Overall we enjoyed our stay a lot
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 .
Sweet Surrender is a beautiful, centrally located apartment in Santander, perfectly positioned between the beach and the city centre. This charming place is in a great city and has been well and modernly refurbished. The mattresses were very comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. The air conditioning works efficiently, and the apartment has everything you need for a relaxing stay. It is highly recommended for its convenience and charm.
Hotel Chiqui is in the perfect location for a city/beach holiday. The view from the terraced rooms overlooking El Sardinero beach is panoramic.
The room was clean and comfortable with complimentary cold filtered water available at the end of each corridor. Staff in the Panoramic Restaurant were very obliging. Though the name of the restaurant suggests a view this is not the case.
Reception staff were friendly and professional.
Good, reasonably priced hotel with friendly receptionist staff. The room is a decent size with a clean bathroom and great water pressure in the shower. Super close to the train and bus stations as well as the art museum. Not too far from the beach if you don't mind the walk. Lots of cafes and restaurants around.
Fantastic little hotel in a great location between the beach and the town. Had its own little pool which was an extra bonus after a hot day sightseeing. All the staff were so friendly and helpful and went above and beyond to make our weekend break in Santander exceptional.
the location was perfect in the city center with parking close by, rooms and hotel decor are super nice and very cozy and comfortable with extra goodies in the room (dental kit, sleeping kit ect., breakfast was also good not a lot of options but still very decent.
I have stayed at this hotel since I was younger. It's been recently renovated and it's very nice. Rooms and bathrooms very big and comfortable.
Employees are super nice and service always top notch.
Also the location is just perfect.
The rooms are spacious and comfortable
