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 a lovely hotel near several beaches in the Sardinero neighborhood of Santander. Each room has a theme and ours was Tokyo. It was very comfortable and clean with a modern bathroom. The staff are all very welcoming and gave us good information about restaurants and transportation. The breakfast was one of the best we’ve had with so many choices of fresh foods. We liked being in a quiet neighborhood, yet close to some lovely beaches and many restaurants.
Hotel Chiqui is in the perfect location for a city/beach holiday. The view from the terraced rooms overlooking El Sardinero beach is panoramic.
The room was clean and comfortable with complimentary cold filtered water available at the end of each corridor. Staff in the Panoramic Restaurant were very obliging. Though the name of the restaurant suggests a view this is not the case.
Reception staff were friendly and professional.
This is a wonderful small hotel with an attractive, entrance (secure at night), lovely rooms and very attentive staff who would do anything for you! The location is perfect as close to many places and beach fronts worth visiting in Santander. We walked everywhere. Some excellent coffee shops are just down the road, as well as some small shops with artisanal products. The area is altogether very pleasant!
The location is perfect right next to some local restaurants and the beach is within eye view. Perfect sea view from room and on site 24 hour reception to help with any queries. Taxi to city centre was only €6 very cheap and reliable come almost instantly. Bed is super comfy and room is very clean. Free WIFI in the property very useful. Hotel also had on site bar and a lounge to relax in.
The room was very clean which was very important to me. Thanks for a hotel that actually takes pride in keeping the rooms clean and well cared for! Comfy bed, nice hot shower and quiet. Towels and sheets were good and clean without fragrance. Well designed. Nice staff. Bathroom good and clean condition, didn't see any mold or anything. I would stay there again.
Motorcycle friendly hotel with secure off street parking near the beach at Santander. Excellent staff allowed an early check in and gave great advice re where to go and what to do. Comfortable well appointed room with balcony and beach views. Lovely restaurant with a surprising good set menu for diner.
Love this hotel. Staff are really helpful. Allowed us to check in early after an horrendous journey.
Rooms comfortable, bathrooms supplied with lovely lotions etc. Great position, short walk to the sea front. A little oasis if calm. Excellent.
Parking 15 euros a night but worth it.
A very clean hotel in an excellent position for exploring Santander. The hotel is close to the old city and within walking distance of the various cultural centres that the city offers. There are good public transport links for visiting the lovely beaches on the peninsula.
the location was perfect in the city center with parking close by, rooms and hotel decor are super nice and very cozy and comfortable with extra goodies in the room (dental kit, sleeping kit ect., breakfast was also good not a lot of options but still very decent.
The room was clean and at a good price for Santander. The hotel was very well located - 5 min to the train station and city center, 3 min to the bus station to Sardinero Beach. The staff gave us helpful indications. We had a really nice time in Santander.
I have stayed at this hotel since I was younger. It's been recently renovated and it's very nice. Rooms and bathrooms very big and comfortable.
Employees are super nice and service always top notch.
Also the location is just perfect.
The accommodation was suitable just for the night we wanted to have it in Santander after the later arrival. It had everything we needed and expected. We loved that it had fully equipped kitchen so could have little late snack .
The location is good with parking below the hotel.
The restaurant is good and fair prices.
Everything works as it should however an iron and ironing board in the room would be welcome
The entire experience was absolutely wonderful. Lucinda was so pleasant and friendly as well. I would highly recommend this dwelling to anyone looking to stay in Santander.
A great location with parking, just a short walk from the beach. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The room was modern and very clean. Highly recommend.
