Exceptional stay ,Daniel was amazing,from the glass of cava to explaining everything,showing us how things worked,and booking a taxi for the airport on departure. Loved the gift breakfast 💕 Room was immaculate, unfortunately we didn't use the pool or the gym but all looked amazing . Excellent location for old town

Sooo friendly. Small quiet hotel within easy walking distance of puerto chico and main town and not far from El Sardinero beach. Really comfortable very welcoming with little details on way in and out. A great place to stay in Santander

Really nice hotel in a great location. The staff at reception were incredible and their service really made our stay. The room was comfortable and a good size. The pool is deeper than it looks and was a nice touch.

I thought it was a very good quiet location. Staff were very freindly and very informative especially daniel! Room had everything you needed loved the daily pastries. The walls were quite thin so could hear a little noise from next door but apart from that was great!

Paula looked after us very well. Our initial room had a sink within The bedroom which is not acceptable to us, but Paula sorted a change for the last two nights. Great location for walking to lots of bars as well as waterfront, but quiet generally.

The people at the front desk (Isabel & George especially) were very helpful in all things. They were eager to help and had plenty of suggestions for places to eat and things to see. I can't wait to stay here again!

Staff were very helpful in telling us about the area or booking a table or telling the (pre-arranged) taxi driver where to find us! Walkable from many good eating places - we liked Sukura and the Pizza place just down the street. Very quiet and nice rooms.

Beautifully kept small hotel, very close to old town . Nice staff. Room we had booked was fine but bed was too small, so we upgraded to a suite with a balcony and direct access to garden, which was excellent value for money. Parking quite restricted but fine with assistance

Staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. Lovely touch on both arrival ( glass of cava) and departure (small gift). Location is good for walking to central areas. Rooms very clean and modern. Only downside is parking which is very tight and there are only half a dozen spaces ( hotel is small probably no more than 15 rooms total so presumably sufficient). We would definitely stay there again.

Lovely boutique style hotel in a nice residential area of the city. Spotlessly clean room, well equipped (TV, fridge, coffee maker, shower gel, pool towels) and each day alongside complementary water and coffee pods, a gift was left in our room to enable us to sample some regional food delicacies. All the staff were courteous, friendly and knowledgeable… nothing was too much trouble. This is a gem of a hotel!

It was not a full service property. They did supply some sort of breakfast. The cost is too high for the value. Parking was not nearb

The hotel was not quite what we imagined as there were no facilities at all apart from tea and coffee making and pastries/biscuits in the room. This was mainly our fault as we hadn’t checked the details properly and didn’t realise there was no bar or breakfast. There is an outdoor pool but it didn’t look inviting. Staff are wonderful and helpful and the location is great so easy walking to the port and restaurants. The room was very clean. We had a sea view but in the distance over rooftops.
