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.
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!!!
A boutique hotel indeed, very small, but perfect for a short stay. Very comfortable and quiet, great facilities, immaculately clean. Parking was easy to find. The hotel is a 2 minute walk to a beautiful beach, and about a 10 minute drive to the ferry terminal. Theresa suggested a fish restaurant about 20 mins walk from the hotel, which was a fantastic experience. Also, the route takes you through an old tunnel under part of Santander. And a good selection for breakfast in the morning.
First of all, the staff are friendly, knowledgeable and polite. The view from my room overlooking the gorgeous beach and the Bay of Santander was stunning. It is very quiet. There are shops nearby and a couple of nice little bars and cafes. It is just a few minutes walk to the bus stop so very easy to get into the city centre (although it's a nice walk as well through green parks). It is also adjacent to the coastal path which leads to other small bays.
Lovely view of the beach. All staff at the hotel were very friendly and a good breakfast. The location was perfect for the beach. Bus stop very close to the hotel to go into the centre of Santander (€1.30) There are some great restaurants and bars near the hotel. The area prides itself for it's excellent food.
Cheap flight from Birmingham with Ryan Air which took only 1 hour 40 min and a 25 min taxi journey, great for a long weekend away.
The location is perfect right next to some local restaurants and the beach is within eye view. Perfect sea view from room and on site 24 hour reception to help with any queries. Taxi to city centre was only €6 very cheap and reliable come almost instantly. Bed is super comfy and room is very clean. Free WIFI in the property very useful. Hotel also had on site bar and a lounge to relax in.
The hotel was nearby the beach and parking was easy. The room was small for two people. There was no milk of you wanted a cup of tea during the day. Staff were excellent and helpful and took a real price in good service. The cops were used in day one on our room were not washed and replaced the next day when the room was made up. Breakfast was adequate and a good variety.
The outside of the hotel building was very imposing . There was parking outside the hotel whilst you check in and then pre arranged safe onsite parking costing 17€ per night.
We had a room with a sea view which is a must as the hotel overlooks the beautiful beach of Santander. The staff at reception are very friendly and helpful. Rooms well designed and appointed .
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.
Incredible stay at the Gran Hotel Victoria and Santander. Well kept hotel, very clean and tidy, large balcony/terrace and views were brilliant. Staff were incredibly helpful and will definitely be back. Location was exceptional, 2 minute walk to el Sardinero beach, 15 minute walk to Magdalena Palace and 25 minutes to the old town.
Hotel is in a great location close to restaurants and great transport.
Airport is 15 minutes away
Short bus ride to the beach
The hotel had a lovely view of the city really great.
Hotel was lovely and clean the hotel had a lovely aroma
Room was great and the shower was very powerful like you would have at home.
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.
A wonderful location overlooking the entire beach. Hotel was large, and designed to accomodate a number of guests. The kitchen produced several interesting and tasty dishes, the breakfast was above average, both in terms of variety and quality.
Excellent location. The washing machine was also a dryer! Unexpected bonus and unusual in Spain. Kitchen well stocked with dishes. We enjoyed our evenings in the apt when the temperature cooled down (see below ). Beds comfortable.
Hotels around 10 minutes walk west of the stations in Santander. Breakfast good, did'nt try the Ham and Cheese option though. Great coffee. Alessandra very helpfull. Impressive bathroom, very powerfull shower.
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
Very close to the centre of Santander and made for a good first night in Spain after driving off the ferry. Nice places to eat nearby. Parking close to the apartment for a good price.
Hotel is in excellent conditions. We had the most beautiful view possible in room 213. Personnel attitude was extremely efficient and friendly. Good job done!!
