Great location, very short walk to the beach. Hotel was lovely, well furnished and clean. Staff could have been friendlier, and location-wise there weren't too many restaurants to choose from.

The hotel is located a short walk from the beach. It is a very comfortable hotel, and good value for money. There is a lovely walk along the seafront towards the city centre.

The hotel, the location and the staff were all really good. The only downside was the weekend we chose to go there happened to be when there was some motorbike convention. We were on the 5th floor with a sea view only to be woken at 7.30 each morning by revving motorbikes.

We had a lovely three nights stay at Hotel Santemar. Staff were very friendly and helpful, it is a comfortable and well located hotel only minutes from the beautiful Sardinero beach. I would happily recommend this hotel for a stay in Santander.

Beautiful and well kept hotel. It’s equivalent to a high end hotel in Chicago or NY but a fraction of the cost. Beautiful area with plenty of walking paths and only a few meters to the beach.
Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023

The stay in the hotel was amazing, but do not park on the street as it is very crowded and people are destined to hit your car while its parked there

Great location and clean. If you like sleep ask for a room away from the front entrance bar. Breakfast was not great value for money. Reception was poor on arrival, no information was relayed as to breakfast times etc.
