NH Ciudad de Santander

Central location

Planned to only stay one night at this hotel as a stopover but had to extend due to a delay to our Ferry. The hotel was very good at accommodating us at short notice for the extra night.. Hotel had good parking , with a very decent breakfast offering and location is really convenient for the centre of Santander.

A really friendly dog friendly hotel in the centre of Santander and very close to Brittany Ferries port. We stayed for one night on the 4th floor dog floor. Our room had laminate flooring and a balcony with table and chairs where we had room service dinner. The room came with two bowls for food and water for our dog. It made us feel comfortable and included, not unwanted because we had our dog with us. For breakfast, they invited us to make up a tray of what we wanted and they brought it up to our room, it was kind. The staff were all friendly and welcoming, always with a smile and were friendly to our dog, which is important to us. They have a car park behind the hotel but it is fairly small and quite tight to manouvre so beware if you have a big car! If we´re this way again, we would definitely stay here.

We stay in a lot of 3 star hotels when travelling and this is one of the nicest I’ve been to because of the details. Great, spacious family room. Views over road below so felt buzzy but the noise was easy to shut out by closing the double glazed windows. Location central. Breakfast buffet huge and varied. Very friendly staff; the lady on the reception and the lady in the breakfast area in the morning (who praised my son on his Spanish) in particular. I’d recommend.

Location was good. Room very tired
