"Very good clean comfortable room with excellent A/C. The only problem we found was they do not serve meals and there was very little to choose from locally without going out in your car. We did try the restaurant next door but it was a little quirky and not everyone's liking, but the food was good. It is very close to the ferry and well signed. All in all a good overnight stop if traveling to the ferry. "

Sercotel El Balcón de la Bahía

10/10 Excellent

"Mi quedada en el hotel fue fenomenal. Está muy bien ubicado y el personal fue extremadamente amable. La propiedad es limpia, hay gimnasio y piscina, y la atención al cliente fue increíble. Recomiendo a cualquier persona que quiera visitar Santander que se queden aquí."

Hotel Chiqui

8/10 Good

"Disfrutamos mucho nuestra estadia en el hotel, tener el mar y la playa del Sardinero enfrente es hermoso, solo sugeriríamos ampliar los horarios de la piscina en verano aunque sea una hora mas temprano y una hora mas tarde, ya que de 11 a 7 es justamente cuando uno esta fuera conociendo y fue una las razones para reservar y solo logramos ir media hora un dia. Los cuartos de loft muy bonitos y comodos."
