Hotels near Santander Airport

Pros: We stayed for 3 nights at the Hostal Jardin Secreto. The place is very close to the train station, aprox 10-15 min walk. Also nearby you can find restaurants and bars. The hostal has 6 rooms all of them designed differently (as they are in the pictures) and a cozy, small garden in the back. The room in which we stayed was number 4, with light blue and silver design and a small balcony facing the garden. We appreciated very much the good mattress and the variety of pillows, the shower cabin (big enough for two) and the clothes hanger. In the morning they serve coffee/tea and some local pastry. The hostess was very friendly and helpful.

Pros: We received a wonderful welcome and our host was extremely friendly and helpful. The room was spotlessly clean and well appointed and very comfortable. Fantastic shower. It was an easy walk to the sea front and to the area of bars and restaurants, but a little away from them so we were in a real city amongst working people. A genuine Spanish experience. We hope to return to the lovely city of Santander and would certainly stay here again.

Pros: Very friendly host who gives great tips on where to go and provides free coffee in mornings. Centrally located and right opposite a bakery run by Argentinians who make gorgeous bread and croissants. Nearby cafe bars and small supermarkets and fish market is 5 minute walk away

Cons: Liked everything!

Pros: Great suggestions from the friendly manager, really improved my trip

Pros: Fabulous place to stay. Convenient location. Owner very helpful and kind.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Amazing host, she always looked after us, suggested excellent places and gave us flowers when we left. Comfy rooms and beds that are really quiet. Perfect location - so close to town. Great shower. Excellent value for money.

Cons: Nothing!!

Pros: Couldn't complain about anything

Cons: Great hosts impeccably clean great location definitely not a hostel a great hotel. Made great local recommendations. Quiet. Lovely rooms we stayed twice.

Cons: Nothing all good !

Pros: The hotel is in an excellent location to explore everything Santander has to offer

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Modern and comfortable

Cons: Parking on site limited but car park nearby

Pros: Very good location and amazing views

Cons: Room too warm and difficult to cool down

Pros: Location

Cons: Bar. Also got poor guidance from concierge

Pros: The room was very pleasant and location was good

Cons: The cost of parking the motorcycle was 16 Euro. All the other hotels either had specific bike areas in their undergound garage or made an allowance by reducing cost

Pros: The location was very good. The car parking was secure and easily accessed.

Pros: We opted for a sea view. Proved a good decision.

Pros: Lovely big comfortable bedroom and lots of nice toiletries in the bathroom.

Cons: Nothing, everything was great

Pros: View from room was fabulous staff were friendly .

Cons: Size of bed was only a double and room was huge

Pros: The location

Cons: Breakfast could be better

Pros: Clean hotel.

Cons: Breakfast at €16 was a rip off. Quality was poor. Even though included in price we went out for breakfast the second day.

Pros: Right on the beach. Easy access to Santander centre. We took a taxi there but walked back. Nice bars and restaurants close to the hotel. Fantastic shower!

Cons: It has been refurbished to a very high standard, but somehow it lacks character and feels very sterile.

Cons: You have to pay extra for breakfast or walk across the road to nice cafe

Pros: The breakfast was fine. Supermarket behind hotel if you want cheaper option. Evening meal facilities not available at hotel but only in cafe next door. Although opposite the Casino it is a hilly location. A walk after food should be aware of this.

Cons: No evening meal facilities in hotel. Plenty of local cafes in the area though.

Pros: Great spacious room and bathroom. Comfy beds and the hotel has a modern look and feel.

Pros: Beautiful hotel in a central location with the coolest car lift ever. Delicious breakfast too.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: View from the room. Ability to fully open the windows.

Cons: Expensive parking. A fair amount of street noise when the windows were open.

Pros: The hotel is easy to get to. Check in was seamless. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and the AC worked. The beach is across the street and the town is a €5 cab ride.

Cons: The WiFi is slow.

Pros: Needs a gym for that price

Cons: Price!

Pros: The location of this hotel across from a long, beautiful beach is perfect. There is a walkway along the water that stretches for kilometers. There are buses every five minutes that go from a stop by the hotel into the center of the city in 10 minutes or less. The rooms were not big, but very comfortable and the bathrooms are immaculate. A big surprise for us was the restaurant. We arrived Sunday night after a long day of travel and decided to eat at the hotel. The food was excellent, although there were few people in the restaurant. The 25 euro menu included three full courses of your choice, mineral water and wine — a full bottle for the two of us. In fact, it was a bit too much food for us, but ala carte options were also available. We’d stay at this hotel again if we were in Santander.

Cons: I’m not a fan of the long pillows they have in Spain. Would prefer two smaller ones.

Pros: Beautiful hotel, location, the view from the bedroom balcony is amazing.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The hotel is very classy and elegant, with nice amenities and views over the city and harbor. The clientele is snubby and mostly over 60. The service is very good, at par with the facilities.

Cons: Most of the clientele is obnoxious, smoking, loud and pretentious. The management doesn't seem to be interested in controlling unruly behavior, such as parked private cars right in front of the main entrance of the hotel, or smoking right at the entrance of the restaurant.

Cons: Very limited staff assistance, primarily at checking in and out.

Pros: The hotel is very Classic and has beautiful decorations

Cons: To go to the beach you need to walk a lot, and it’s better to go walking than by car because there’s not much parking

Pros: Breakfast was ok

Cons: Small room. Stained carpet. Noisy lift all night long. Double not single beds as requested. Restaurant meal barely warm, fish watery, maitre d surely. No help with luggage on arrival or departure ( have invalid wife). Tepid apology by reception staff when advised of my unhappiness.

Pros: Wonderful location above the headland with great views (though a good 10 minute walk from the beach). Nice terrace; good buffet breakfast; helpful reception and restaurant staff.

Cons: Felt rather stiff and formal; staff helpful but without real energy and character. No swimming pool which is odd for a hotel of this standing. Spa/gym area small and rather fusty/old-fashioned. Overall a great location and elegant style but feels stuck in the past. Someone needs to shake the old spinster up and breathe some life into her!

Pros: Excellent location, clean, nice morning terrasse

Cons: Nobody to receive you when you arrive at parking, no heating

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing to dislike

Pros: I mention that I was celebrating silver wedding and they send us a nice card with a botle of champange to the room. Nice surprice !

Pros: I had booked two delux double rooms for our arrival to Santander as there were no twin rooms available on that evening (it was full with a catwalk event). I'd just assumed it wouldn't be a problem for the hotel to source an additional cot-bed or similar and set it up in the room. This was thankfully done in the end, but it took a bit more persuasion than I would have though necessary for a five star destination. But in the end I was satisfied.

Cons: There was nothing to dislike.

Pros: Great location. Nice staff

Cons: Small rooms - seemed expensive for the facilities

Pros: Location

Cons: After 3 weeks of traveling through Europe this was our last stop before going home. I can truly say this was the worst and most expensive room we had. For a 4 star hotel unpleasant people working there with fake smiles. Room is a nice size with outdated bathroom and corrosion stains. Hallway has an old smell. I really didn't expect this in such a beautiful town.

Pros: We loved EVERYTHING about it! It was great value for our money, we wished we would've stayed longer. Good location close to the port and walkable to restaurants.

Cons: Nothing! Great experience :)

Pros: When first looking to book a hotel in Santander, thought that somewhere near Sardinero beach would be the best option, but in fact, Vincci Puertochico is much better placed for the bars and restaurants... and is only a short walk away from Magdalena and Bikini beaches.

Cons: Nothing negative to say about hotel as was all good. Only little thing that could be improved was the instant coffee in room!

Pros: The hotel is situated in very good place near old town and basic POI. The clients can use the nearest public car parking at a special price. It's very convenient because the parking's entrance is located just in front of the door of the hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Cons: A breakfast was a little bit poor. Especially compared to the Gran Bilbao Hotel where we were two days earlier. It's only my personal opinion because my wife was fully satisfied.

Pros: Excellent location within walking distance to restaurants, beaches and attractions. Very comfortable, spacious, clean and well decorated room!

Pros: Nice style, cleanliness, and layout. Amazing shower.

Cons: When we reserved a room and we're halfway through the booking process there was a photo of the room with a sea view through the window. This is not true. The room has no sea view but was really quite and clean

Pros: Great hotel in great location

Pros: Staff were very warm welcoming and helpful. Room spacious and comfortable.

Cons: Pictures very deceptive. There’s no views from the rooms and no balconies. The sun terrace is their street cafe!

Cons: 1. WIFI does NOT work. Missed deadlines! I was unable to do work because of wifi not working, missed important deadlines! 2. Every door slams so loud that sounds like bomb. 3. Smells cheap and kinda nasty. 4. Receptionists are incompetent and showed attitude instead of trying to resolve the problems related o WIFI. 5. The day I was leaving they proposed to change room. I thought it was clear expression of mocking and making fun of a customer. 5. In room 506, there is a light on the building outside near the window, which so strong that at night seems like you are the beach in front of the sun and the curtains do not help. I am not a light sleeper and I fall asleep easily, during this 4 day stay I could not sleep because of that and extremely loud door slamming. Overall experience was horrible. I flew across the globe from Los Angeles for work and due to mainly almost not working WIFI my trip was next to nothing. I feel I was robbed. This hotel does not deserve to be 4 star one.

Pros: Bed very comfortable and staff very helpful and friendly.

Cons: Slightly overpriced.

Pros: Very Nice guy checked us in on reception, unfortunately the car park was full, which as my Husband is disabled was a problem, I did find a car park within walking distance, but by the time I had carried all our luggage back I was worn out. It would also have been nice to be able to relax in comfortable chair in a nice bar, instead of the very brightly lit cafeteria, which was rather odd for a 4 star hotel.

Cons: No where to relax with a drink, other than the Cafeteria. Disabled parking/parking on site a problem.

Pros: A Great stay, cosy beds and great breakfast

Pros: Everything was fabulous. The location was super and the breakfast delicious

Cons: Everything was perfect

Pros: The hotel was well located and very clean. Staff were friendly and helpful - very pleasant stay!

Cons: Nothing disliked but we did not use the restaurant facilities as we found lots of cafe and restaurant options in the immediate area.

Pros: The location was ideal for us; near both train station and airport shuttle bus. Lots of local buses to go to the beach! Our room was extremely comfortable and very quiet.

Pros: The staff were very friendly and helpful. The underground parking was very useful.

Cons: The breakfast was over priced as we did not have it included with the room

Pros: Superb breakfast. Helpful and happy staff on reception and in the bar. Easy to park motorcycles in the bike parking bays right in front of the hotel

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Perfect place to stay having just got off the ferry

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Good location,nice staff

Cons: Small roons,no facility such as minibar

Pros: The view from our room was amazing

Cons: A lot of steps to get to the hotel. But there is a road to the hotel however we were walking.

Pros: Staff were very helpful and spoke excellent English. Efficient and seamless check-in experience. Room was basic, but very clean and worked for our purposes. Closely located to shopping and the waterfront. Parking is a few metres up the street in a designated garage accessible by key; we found the instructions very straightforward. We had breakfast at La Polar both mornings of our stay based on a recommendation from the desk staff - it was terrific and we loved the special (a well-seasoned cheese and ham Spanish tortilla with a perfectly made cafe con leche for 3 euro.) If you're looking for a budget room in close proximity to a wide variety of restaurants, bars, shopping, sightseeing, etc, I would recommend this place.

Cons: The lighting wasn't very good in our room, but we didn't mind this too much.

Pros: Good wifi, comfortable bed.

Cons: Little bit noisy if you leave open the window!

Pros: Very central and quiet location, friendly staff, nice, large and clean room.

Cons: There are no breakfast facility.

Pros: Friendly helpful staff

Cons: N/a

Pros: Spacious room and simple. Everything you need. Can park car in the garage - book in advance.

Cons: The evening staff wasn’t very smiley, but maybe because we arrived late due to flight delay past the 11pm close time. We apologised for that! But overall all good.

Pros: A shower base would be better.

Cons: Very friendly staff, good location, plenty of local bars for breakfast. Parking quite near, bit tight, did not help person next to me was inconsiderate. Not huge room but fine for a short stay.

Pros: Delicious breakfast, very friendly and helpful stuff, good location and perfect communication before our trip to Santander. I'm very happy that we choose NH Hotel for our short "just married" trip! Many thanks!

Pros: Excellent breakfast. Plenty of choice and all very fresh.

Pros: Location was great. Walking distance to some great restaurants & close to the ferry port. Dogs made welcome with beds, water bowls & doggie treats in the room

Cons: The car park was very small & difficult to manoeuvre the car into a space.

Pros: The guy on the front desk was super helpful. I’d forgotten that I booked 2 rooms (my daughter ultimately didn’t travel) and he got the charge for the extra room dropped without my even asking). He also helped me to print something off. This is a simple, clean business hotel. But great value and ideal if you are taking the ferry back to the UK

Pros: Very central, close to the bus stop The apartment had no air conditioning or fans so it was very hot specially at night

Cons: Clean and very central

Cons: Price for breakfast is very high.

Cons: Nothing that I can think of.

Pros: Very Good clean hotel with an excellent NH breakfast (one of the best). Staff were very very helpful and spoke English. Good location with a little supermarket and a bread shop opposite. The Mexican restaurant opposite is also worth a visit.

Cons: The room was a bit small and faced the car park biu we did book last minute and Spanish school holidays had just started.

Pros: Very welcoming. Pets OK

Pros: Really friendly staff. Our dog was welcomed too.

Pros: The bed was comfortable and the location was perfect.

Cons: The room was not great in many regards- all the rooms have carpet (gross). Due to this the rooms smell. I mean, they allow dogs so... imagine. Second, when I opened the mini fridge it had nasty old cheese looking crumbs all over it and 2 black pubic hairs on the door. I really dI'd t feel like putting anything in there. (Really nasty... I know it's 3 stars but it should be clean). The bathroom had a tub in it.... an old-Looking tub and the hairdryer only let out cold air. Not a great place especially as we paid over 600 euros for 3 nights! Maybe for 250-300 it would be a good value but at these prices it robbery!

Pros: Location. Free Nespressocoffee in lobby . Infomative staff

Cons: Bathrooms need to be worked on. Mirror falling off, showerhead not connected, and room smells like sewage. Pillows feel like they are filled with popcorn

Cons: It was very hard to find . The entrance is small and was not lit at all . It took us 20 mins to find the entrance The room was not very clean in fact there was a T shirt left in the left bedside cabinet full of dust

Cons: Probably a decent accommodation in any room except no 6 - the windows are facing some sort of patio with a very heavy smell (sewage?). There is no alternative for fresh air.

Pros: Good position, very nice receptionist, modern styled room with fridge(we were very happy about that) plus with complimentary bottles of water, a good effect made the cleanliness

Cons: No view from window, how the room was small the air was very warm and heavy, in some moments felt a bit claustrophobic

Pros: The hotel was of a good, basic standard with clean and basic furnishing in the rooms. There was a nice spa, pool and gym on site. Nice small café onsite with some nice tapas. Ideally situated within a 10 minute drive of the ferry terminal.

Cons: Check in took a long time. We had to pay a deposit in the event of damage caused by our pets (which I have not seen in any other pet friendly hotel). We were also given a list of pet rules, which seemed over the top. The restaurant does not open for lunch and dinner at weekends, but did have some snacks/tapas.

Cons: The continental breakfast. Could be get more options in breakfast.

Pros: Charming building very central and good breakfast

Cons: Had to park half a mile away and drag bags up hill Room was on third floor and was very basic

Pros: Not a lot

Cons: The bedrooms and facilities were a poor Travelodge equivalent No power points in room Having paid extra for an upgraded room I dread to think what the non upgraded rooms were like

Cons: This is part of a big residencial building. The noise is constant. There were kids running on the upper floors until 2AM. The window view is to a hole in the Middle of the building... With closes hanging.... people screaming.... Room floor was dirty. Bathroom also. The breakfast is bad. Plenty of sugar. Giant breads and pastry. Its a joke what we pay. And another joke the 3 stars classification. I usually stay in hotel Bahia that is great. If that is a 4 stars this hotel is one star...

Pros: It was just as good as advertised and staff were exceptionally helpful! The bed was comfortable and I slept really well which is rare for me. Nice breakfast with lots of choices. They have an arrangement with a parking garage which is only£14.00 for 24 hours!

Cons: I don’t take baths just showers but if you do need a tub your going to have to be quite small I would say it would fit children six or below!0

Pros: Perfect location, perfect room, ultra clean, all members of the staff perfectly speak english and very helpful.

Cons: There is no parking at the hotel. The hotel proposes to park and the nearest parking “sabo” with who they have contract and 50% discount. But the hotel does not guaranty that it will be any free place at parking... so we had to park close to library Lello (10-15 min up hill) and at the end of the stay it was even cheeper than “hotel parking”

Cons: We parked our bikes after asking if it was ok, then at midnight were asked to move them, and then asked again to move them in the morning.
