We stayed for 2 nights, 2 couples. Great location in the main town area, 20 minutes from the airport. We had a basic double room on the inside of the hotel window onto the atrium. Great sized room and huge bathroom. we had a third bed in our room which we could have done without but we just left all our stuff strewn all over it, so handy as well. The beds were excellent and the air-con was almost silent. Staff were fantastic, Santander does not have as many English speakers as elsewhere in Spain but the staff were pretty proficient. The town is great, no British pubs or roast dinners, genuinely Spanish everywhere. had a a great time trying to communicate sometimes, our Spanish being extremely limited but the locals in general where pleasant and helpful. had one run in with a surly waitress, more our fault than hers. Wine is very cheap and excellent quality, i think they send all the dodgy stuff to the UK. beer and food are pretty reasonable, lots of choice from high end to local fare, a lot of bars will give you Tapas with your drinks. the little market in the town center is great for food and drink. there is an area down by the port with lots of fish restaurants, extremely busy at all meal times with locals so you really need to book in advance. great beaches if you walk north to the Bay of Biscay coastline. Thoroughly recommend Santander to anyone who wants a bit of real Spain, don't bother if you want cheap British pubs and roast beef.
