Clean hotel, comfortable bed, and everything more than adequate. Very friendly staff and centrally located. You couldn't ask for more.
I didn't use the restaurant, so I can't comment.
The hotel is less than 20 minutes from the airport and takes a taxi about 20 euros.
The hotel is right next to the center of Pottinger, the suite is large, the room has toothbrush, slippers, coffee machine. Breakfast is very simple, the restaurant can see the sea. The other side of the hotel is the square, and you can walk into the city through the street. Along the seaside, you can see the sculpture of the homeless. There is no beach in this part of the port. Another sign building in Santander, the Magdalena Palace, is on the peninsula three kilometers from the hotel. It is a bit far away, it takes an hour to walk, and it takes ten minutes by taxi. The beach area is here.
The facilities themselves are of the highest quality among the Spanish hotels I stayed in. However, it is quite far from the city center and there are no restaurants nearby. The view is really good because it is right in front of the sea, but the wind blows so hard that the windows shake. The sound insulation is really bad, and in the morning I can hear the check-out from the next room. Why are Spanish hotels so bad at soundproofing?

The hotel is great, everything is clean and super comfortable. In addition, they did not give a room with a sea view since there were available and the truth was that it was appreciated. I recommend it 100%.
A fantastic hotel in a fantastic location. The foyer to the hotel is large and inviting, the rooms are spacious and spotlessly clean and all of the staff were very helpful and friendly. It is just a 1 minute walk to the beach/sea front and there are lots of restaurants & bars very close by. The walk from the bay to the city centre is amazing along the beautifully clean and scenic promenade. All in all a VERY enjoyable stay. I will be back!!
The hotel is located near the city center and it takes about 13 minutes to reach the seaside, which is very convenient. The hotel has unique design and novel appearance. It is located in a residential area and the surrounding environment is not impressive. It is far away from the beach area, but there are public buses to get there, but the fare is more expensive. One trip is already 1.3 euros. Santander taxi is even more expensive, at least 25 euros from the hotel to the airport. The breakfast food at the hotel is of good quality and highly recommended. I stayed for 2 days and went to the city center to visit the beach every day and had seafood lunch and dinner. It was very comfortable and convenient.
The room is very wide with views, cleaning is perfect location for us is perfect next to the beach of the sardine and behind the hotel the bus stop to move to the center are need to pick up the car and the staff of the hotel very nice

GGuest UserBooked last minute online driving up Spain this was a golden find. Slightly difficult for the Sat Nav to find on a dark wet night. Parking is limited but adequate unless the hotel is packed. The staff were welcoming with an adequate grasp of English/French. The hotel is spotless and has a very charming character with asymmetric rustic furniture/decor throughout that unbelievably blends so well together.Bedrooms/bathrooms are comfortably adequate but definitely not high-tech. WiFi is free and a good speed.
The restaurant offers a limited selection of superb meals in the evenings (you would not want to eat elsewhere after sampling it), and breakfast has a fine and unlimited cold food selection, and a great help yourself coffee/late machine. You can buy great value wines with your meals but beer/lager was not available.
The hotel is in a quiet location and is dog friendly for small breeds. Well situated if waiting for ferry crossings (25 min drive)
I would 100% recommend the hotel as good value for money, extremely charming with food to die for, and would definitely book again if the need arises.
GGuest UserThe hotel is clean and spotless. Spa thermal pool opens long hour from 8am to 10pm which is very convenient. Buffet dinner €18 per person is reasonable and food is good. Breakfast is average, lack of hot dishes.
The cafe bar offers some Thai cuisine. They are yummy but very small portions. Me and my husband ordered 3 main courses but were still hungry. We wanted to order the 4th course ”Style Thai beef wok” with an additional bowl of rice and we'd pay for the rice. However the waitress refused simply because a bowl of rice is not on the menu! I suggest the hotel to remove the Style Thai beef wok from the menu if they're not able to provide a bowl of rice to go with it. This is authentic Thai style of eating! Very disappointed ! The cafe service need to improve, too rigid, not customer oriented.

GGuest UserService was amazing, we were able to check in half an hour before. Outside swimming was open in april.
The experience at the spa was amazing. Many different options i the main pool, 3 saunas and outside jacuzzi
Food was delicious and great variety. We will definitely repeat!
IigofrieGorgeous big room with a amazing view over the valley, could even see the sea! Was amazing to see the sea fog floating through the golf court from above, next morning sun again. It has a pool with perfect temperature and a great jacusi! I loved the stay!
