Rooms and bathroom in particular are very small so fine for a night or two but cramped for a longer stay.

Breakfast options were good. Hotel had lots of character from architecture to paintings and furniture. Location is excellent for visiting the large beach which is very safe for swimming. Also for walking to shops and restaurants.

no fans/air conditioning to keep cool. The rooms are small so getting in and out of the bathroom means you have to do a dance with the door. somewhere to dry clothes would be useful for coming back from the beach (it also rained whilst we were there!).

Stayed for 3 nights - great location walking distance to beach, city and sights. space to sit outside and a covered area - useful for rainy days. Sumptuous fittings and decor makes it a lovely looking place. Great showers and comfy bed. you can also make yourself a tea or coffee any time.

Location and breakfast

Stayed in July 2025

Rooms are small and can be a bit noisy if you are located on the ground floor as this is were the entrance is. Breakfast choice is limited, but again adequate. Could do with some nicer bread choices and fruit options. Fresh orange juice and a kettle to make tea and coffee was the best thing. Sight issue that needs to be fixed is that the shower door didn't close, so flooded the bathroom.

Lovely boutique hotel. Rooms are quite small, but adequate for the price paid. Clean and tidy. Location is perfect - opposite a golden, long sandy beach. Short walk into the square and 25 mins walk into town. Would recommend for a short break.

Not so much didn’t like, but the rooms are small, though well appointed. We came for a week and had cases, body board and it was a squeeze! But we weren’t in much, so it wasn’t a killer. No air conditioning, which meant you had to have windows open but it is the start of the mosquito season!!!

Location, location, location! Two minute walk to the beach!!! One minute walk to the local bar! 25 minute walk into the city centre! Clean and fairly comfortable. The room was cleaned daily! Breakfast was pretty good. The showers in the rooms are excellent, especially after a day on the beach! Staff were friendly and courteous. And it was a bargain at £73 a night.

The day we arrived it was raining heavily. We were in the attic, and we discovered rainwater was coming in the roof and soaked my husband's luggage. There was no night desk to tell anyone, and as he had to leave v early in the morning, again no staff on desk, there seemed no point in mentioning it after the fact. No lasting damage done, but it would have been nice to be able to go down and maybe get our room changed to one on a lower floor where we weren't lying in bed wondering if we were going to be soaked in the bed too.

The location was excellent for us, and very easy to get into central Santander on the regular buses. Lovely old hotel, great breakfast laid out in basement. Across the road from beautiful beaches and gardens

The room was very small.

Very individual decor, attractive style. Excellent location for the beach some distance from the main attractions. Ability to make own drinks in the sitting room.

Very cosy, family-like and well localed hotel. Very clean, friendly staff and ideally located in front of the beach. The only minor point was the quality of the bed for the rest it was perfect!

I can't blame the hotel for all the rain!

A hotel full of character, very helpful front desk and nice salon to chill and savour a cafe/ tea. Great location.

Unfortunately, I waited about 40 minutes for me and the other guests to be given the room keys. I also expected more from the breakfast, but it was worth the money. So if you like to eat a lot for breakfast, it's better to choose another option.

The house looks very nice, and the interior of the hotel and the room is also beautiful. Everything is in the old style and there are a lot of antiques. If you like that kind of thing, you'll be happy. But at the same time, you could feel the antiquity of these things.

The art on the walls was beautiful.

Lack of wardrobe even though l was a single traveller.

A great hotel in an excellent location. Rooms not massive but boutique describes it perfectly with bags of charecter.

The situation and the hotel

Stayed in September 2024

The room was quite small & opposite reception so some noise experienced. Had a problem with shower leaking onto floor. No tea/coffee sachets in the room.

Great location close to the beach. Decoration of room & common areas was nice. Good storage space in the room. Decent breakfast included.

Stayed in September 2024

My room needs some money invested in it - lights that don’t work, plug sockets broken, very outdated bed spread and curtains. It’s all liveable with, but it would make guests feel more valued. Breakfast at 8am (the sign says 8.15) is too late - 7am is much more practical if you want to make the most of the day.

Previous reviewers weren’t joking when they said the rooms are small - I could touch all four walls from my bed! But, the location is great - I could see the sea and hear it and for under €80 a night September prices), so I was happy with that. Breakfast choice was decent - eggs, yoghurt, fruit etc. All the staff are nice, barring the querulous one who produces the breakfast. Overall, it’s a slightly eccentric hotel, but it defo has character!

Very small room. Breakfast was very basic, we only went the 1st morning despite having paid for 3 days. Reception not manned 24/7.

Great location right by the beach. Very friendly staff.

At the time we arrived, parking was a real challenge. We were not enormously impressed by the breakfast.

Excellent location at the centre of the city. Very friendly staff

This is minor bit the coffee at breakfast was cold every morning and had to be heated by microwave . There was a nespresso machine the first morning but it disappeared after that. Other than that minor fact everything was excellent. It might bother some people but there was no A/C.

We were a family of 4 staying at the hotel for 2 wks. Two adults and two teenagers. We loved the location. It was right across the road from the most fabulous beach. The hotel was small and quaint, also very clean. Location was very close to restaurants and busses into Santander. Breakfast was a continental breakfast and it was fresh and delicious. Any of the staff we met were very friendly and helpful. We also took to bus to Bilbao which was only 90 mins away and we visited the Guggenheim museum.
