Top El Sardinero Hotel Reviews

Hotel Vincci Puertochico

10/10 Excellent

"La amabilidad de las personas que nos atendieron."

Hotel Boutique Las Brisas

8/10 Good

"The homely design is very attractive and makes you feel connected. Unfortunately we had a room on the second floor and there was no elevator. When we arrived we were helped upstairs, but when leaving no personel was present. The design of the room was charming but the space crampy, feeling crowded, small, and restricted. The queensize bed stood with one side against the wall and for the person sleeping at that side it was quite an effort to get out quickly. Also the bathroom was crampy. The part of town it was located in reminded us of the Cote d'Azur in France, the beach close by. Transfer to the city center was done with TUS (transporte Municipal de Santander)."

Ibis Styles Santander

10/10 Excellent

"We weren't expecting much as the hotel was not in the most attractive part of the city and on a major road intersection. Our room was a delight though. Large and comfortable. Air con and little noise pollution. Bathroom was clean and comfortable. I was able to store my bike in a secure room in the basement. The car garage was secure and we were happy to leave it there. The breakfast was good in the morning. The main areas are a safe walk away through an underpass. We enjoyed our one night stay here."

Estudios Aranzazu

10/10 Excellent

"All wonderful for the price. The staff were so friendly. Checkin was great and loved that the key was on your phone. The normal beds had a nice firm mattress, the window had great blinds that kept light out. Lots of space in wardrobes. Shower pressure was great (shower curtain not so great at keeping water out the bathroom). Towels provide along with small toiletries such as mini soap blocks and single use bodywash and shapoo in one, Had a TV and mini kitchenette. Good lighting in the room.with bedside tables and lights. Lots of charge points too. We were in the 5th floor with 1 quick lifts availble. Area was great, a coffee and bakery shop less than a minute away, along with two bars that were very cheap. Its around 30 minutes to the harbour and 15 minutes to closest set of resturants. The area is pretty flat with no major hills. The only niggle which we didn't raise with the hotel was that the additional bed in our triple room was very loud when ever you moved."
