An interesting place to relax and discover the culture of the northern part of Spain, a safe city. Excellent cuisine famous for tapas/pintxos e.g. in the market in the city centre. Lots of parks and green spaces, friendly people. The Cabo Faro lighthouse is worth a visit, there are the beaches and their lively bustle, the Magdalena peninsula and the market in the centre of town, where you can enjoy a great meal. Lots of museums to visit.

A handsome, friendly city which is undoubtedly underrated as a destination. Safe, clean, lots of varied sights, beautiful coastal walks right from the city centre. Inexpensive! Superb prehistoric museum. Bring a jacket / umbrella, it's cooler and wetter than elsewhere in Spain. Note: it is a very monolingual area: other than in hotels and the occasional individual in a shop or cafe, most people there speak ONLY Spanish!

This was our 3rd visit to Santander in 12 months.
This was our 3rd visit to Santander in 12 months. For £31 per person return flights from the UK, it is cheaper than staying at home.
Santander is a vibrant, fun and energetic city with plenty to occupy any visitor. The food options are to many to count and the bars are fun and friendly through the evening.

I saw lots of reviews recommending this town.
I saw lots of reviews recommending this town. It was not for me. The planetarium, which many raved about? Closed. Has been closed for a while, actually. And apparently when it was open, it wasn't open to walk-ins. Tour groups only, pre-booked, minimum of 5 people.
Many restaurants were reservation only, actually. Many more were closed.
Saw my first homeless tent encampment ten minutes after arriving in the city. Graffiti everywhere. So many ATMs on Google maps, marked closed. Shops closed or going out of business. "Rebajas" signs everywhere. So many multi-lingual beggars.
Lots of smashed windows, sadly. The town looked like some of the worse areas of other cities I've been to, but all over. Even the church, which was recommended as a very nice building, had homeless and beggars in it. I was there on Sunday (so many things closed) and Monday. For a place supposedly well known for it's meals of fresh fish, mine was bland at best. For a Spanish town, surprisingly few tapas places.

Santander is so quaint.
Santander is so quaint. The historic buildings are beautiful. There are so many bars, tapas bars and restaurants everything is so easy to find and within walking distance. It just felt so clean and just a lovely place to visit we will be back. We went to Bilbao for the day on the bus from the bus station, but pre book your seats as it’s always busy. It takes about 1.5 hours but well worth it then you can jump on the tram line into the centre
There were too many bars and restaurants to mention but the one right outside the hotel was wonderful too.
This is as the name suggests is a small hotel but big on style. The room was perfect for a short stay comfortable bed, quality shower room, adequate storage for clothes and a safe. Lovely breakfast room with a good choice of fresh fruit, breads, croissant, cheese and meats and a choice of teas and coffees. A good start to the day. The location is great for the vast beach and costal walks. Excellent bus service into the city centre.
The staff need a special mention very professional and helpful with local advice top people, thank you.
The hotel is in a truly wonderful position overlooking the beautiful beach with fantastic views every way you look. The bedroom was big with a huge comfortable bed with a great balcony for those views. There was also a great bathroom with a huge shower area. The staff were so lovely and helpful, always greeting us as we passed through reception, particularly Lara who gave us plenty of information about the locality and looked after any requests we had. We would highly recommend this hotel for a stay in Santander.
Great location walking to the beach, casino, lots of restaurants. Beautiful hotel with a really cool history and a gorgeous antique elevator. Staff was very friendly. Bar food was tasty and not too high priced. Beautiful outdoor garden and though the breakfast was expensive it was delicious. Really gorgeous views if you are on the ocean side I think it's worth it with the mountains and the beautiful green in the background across the bay
We have stayed in Hotel Bahia whenever we go to Santander. it’s ideally located near the centre and all the lively bars and restaurants. ALS handy for the port. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and spotless. The staff are friendly and helpful, especially when it came to printing out our test results and passenger locator forms. on sight parking is pricey but so is everywhere else. Nice tapas bars just around the corner.
Clean rooms and comfortable beds. Staffed reception is a bonus and very helpful. Well priced for Santander. Reasonable location about a mile from town walking through a road tunnel, or half a mile from the large beach in the other direction. Cafe, bar and restaurant on the ground floor of the building is excellent for breakfast or evening meals. The hotel is actually the first floor of an private apartment block.
Very central hotel right in the middle of Santander. Hosted in a historic building, but the rooms are nice and modern. Staff were friendly and helpful with various things for my trip. Breakfast was held in another airy room and made for a nice morning in the middle of Santander. Around the area there's plenty of shops, bars and restaurants, the good beaches are a bus/boat ride away.
At the beach end of Santander.

Incredible stay at the Gran Hotel Victoria and Santander. Well kept hotel, very clean and tidy, large balcony/terrace and views were brilliant. Staff were incredibly helpful and will definitely be back. Location was exceptional, 2 minute walk to el Sardinero beach, 15 minute walk to Magdalena Palace and 25 minutes to the old town.
The hotel is situated overlooking the port in central Santander so ideal for exploring the city. The spacious rooms are very tastefully decorated. We had a late arrival by air so we needed a central location for a bed for the night, it was very comfortable and quiet.
The room is exactly what you see in the picture. It is very clean and very comfortable. The hotel is a few minutes walk to the beach and lots ot restaurants. Would definitely recommend if you are going to Santander.
Hotels around 10 minutes walk west of the stations in Santander. Breakfast good, did'nt try the Ham and Cheese option though. Great coffee. Alessandra very helpfull. Impressive bathroom, very powerfull shower.
Big hotel with friendly staff. Location is 5 min away from the beach and 20 min walk to city center and there is a street with restaurants and bars down the road. The rooms are clean and comfortable
