From the outside this hotel is very traditional looking (Victorian) which we normally prefer, but the inside has been 100% refurbished in a very contemporary and elegant style. The bedrooms and en-suite are lovely. The hotel is is a good location, for the Casino, Castle and beach. It also has a good bar/restaurant that serves an excellent value Menu del... More

The hotel is located in the beautiful Sardinero area, next to the Casino. It is a prime hotel at a ver reasonable prices. A little far from the old town, however the city is very safe and easy to walk.

There is nothing I did not like about this hotel. The staff were polite and quick. The rooms are perfectly proportioned and decorated to a high standard with lovely soft furnishings. The garage is private and secure, it s accessed by way of a lift that you 'drive' into. The hotel is situated in the very elegant part of town... More

We stayed for the night, price of double room 80€, (40€ per person), low season, 15 € for keeping the car for the night in their own parking, under the hotel. A room overlooking the Sardinero beach costs 20 € more per night.

Excellent location with very basic services..hotel lobby reception was average and certainly no porter should you need help with your luggage. No gym and cafe down stairs closed early. Quiet second floor room, comfortable KING bed (very unusual for Spain)with ceiling to floor windows with iconic views of Plaza Italia, the casino and the sea. I don't recommend this place... More

We visited this hotel at the end of August 2012. 1 minute from the beach and fully restore (the old hotel was demolished and a new hotel built instead) is one of the best hotels I have been at in Spain and reminded us on the Kempinsky in Berlin, which to this date has been the best hotel I have...

This is a lovely modern top end 4* hotel situated in the perfect location if you are travelling back up through Spain and want a night out in Santander. It is situated next to the Sardinero beach and Casino with lots of restaurants nearby. However parking is costly and tight, you reach the car park via a lift, and the... More

The Hotel Sardinero, across the beach on the Plaza Italia was a very pleasant stay and a welcome break on a driving trip we took in northern Spain in July. This new hotel had been open a few months and offers large rooms with equally large baths, a nice change from some of the traditional hotels we stayed in on... More

This is a reasonable hotel. It is in a lovely location overlooking the sea front. The sound of crashing waves woke me most mornings. Santander is a lovely city. The hotel has a faded charm. It needs to have some investment to bring it up to modern standards. Our room was lovely - over looking the sea. It had a... More
