This hotel exceeded my expectations in every way. The design and vibe were awesome. The room was serene and very pretty with a great deck and ocean view. Everything was walking distance. Hotel staff were fantastic. For the price, this was a standout.

Hotel was perfect for us in every way - although selling the room as a double with terrace was pushing it, the terrace was an incredibly miniscule balcony.

Lovely hotel in a perfect location. Santander is a great place to visit & Sardinero area is fantastic. Hotel terrace with sea view is nice & the locale is quiet. Close to restaurants & bars. Caribe is good for a few drinks & Costa 43 is great for food & atmosphere 👌
