My second stay at Hotel Bahía. This is perhaps the most prominent hotel in Santander and, with so many floors and a very prominent sign at the top, is very easy to find. In being right in the city centre, near the train and bus stations and just across the road from the ferry port, it is perhaps the most convenient hotel too.
The public spaces and the rooms are immaculate and my room on both occasions was the most spacious hotel room I've ever stayed in. Probably because I stayed off-peak, I felt like I was getting excellent value for money.
Customer service was friendly and efficient. Even one of the busy cleaning staff thanked me for staying and wished me well as they saw me exit my room with my luggage at the end of my stay.
Apart from this being a superb hotel, Santander is a beautiful and safe city with plenty to see and do and with good transport links.
