We loved this hotel on both occasions we stayed there. From the warm welcome on the front desk to our beautifully clean and comfortable room - it made for a great stay, and it’s ideally situated for anyone wanting to travel further into northern spain, with easy access to the airport and the major roads.
Every member of staff we happened across was friendly, polite and extremely helpful, especially Tamara in the lounge bar and Joaquin in the restaurant - they were memorable.

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.
We have stayed in Hotel Bahia a few times and always book any time we travel to Santander. Clean and comfortable bedroom with fantastic views over the bay. Polite, friendly and professional reception staff. Bar staff gave excellent drinks service. Lovely public areas. Hotel is located across from ferry terminal and within a few minutes walk of city centre. The Sardinero Beach area is a 30 minute walk along a beautiful promenade. There are plenty of buses if you dont want to walk. We will book Hotel Bahia the next time we travel to Santander.
A boutique hotel indeed, very small, but perfect for a short stay. Very comfortable and quiet, great facilities, immaculately clean. Parking was easy to find. The hotel is a 2 minute walk to a beautiful beach, and about a 10 minute drive to the ferry terminal. Theresa suggested a fish restaurant about 20 mins walk from the hotel, which was a fantastic experience. Also, the route takes you through an old tunnel under part of Santander. And a good selection for breakfast in the morning.
Lovely view of the beach. All staff at the hotel were very friendly and a good breakfast. The location was perfect for the beach. Bus stop very close to the hotel to go into the centre of Santander (€1.30) There are some great restaurants and bars near the hotel. The area prides itself for it's excellent food.
Cheap flight from Birmingham with Ryan Air which took only 1 hour 40 min and a 25 min taxi journey, great for a long weekend away.
The location of this hotel is excellent, fantastic views of the sea, a very comfortable place to relax, but also buses and taxis nearby to get you into the city within minutes. The staff were amazing, very helpful and always had a smile on their face. The food here was great particularly dinner, great choices of local dishes. We cannot wait to return to the Gran Hotel Victoria and Santander again, a truly beautiful place.
Our room was clean, comfortable, and well decorated. The bathroom was large and roomy with a walk-in shower. The hotel staff were very welcoming and helpfully guided us on things to do and see in Santander. The hotel's location was excellent with beaches, bars and restaurants practically on the door-step. The Sandiero beaches were delightful. Thoroughly recommend staying at this hotel.
Very central hotel right in the middle of Santander. Hosted in a historic building, but the rooms are nice and modern. Staff were friendly and helpful with various things for my trip. Breakfast was held in another airy room and made for a nice morning in the middle of Santander. Around the area there's plenty of shops, bars and restaurants, the good beaches are a bus/boat ride away.
The hotel has a great location by El Sardinero beach, good access, easy parking, good rooms with great sea views, an excellent restaurant and provides a generous breakfast buffet. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Absolutely excellent and highly recommended for an overnight or longer stay in Santander. For UK visitors it is a ten minute drive to the ferry port.
The location was great. The hotel is nice you feel the history of the place. But I wouldn’t say it’s a 5 stars GL. The service is not 5 stars GL. Rooms are clean, big but a bit outdated. Showers were recently renovated and very nice and comfy, really liked it. The breakfast was good. The view from our room was stunning ! This is something we really enjoyed.
This is the worst place I have stayed in Spain. The room is extremely hot, no venting or air conditioning, no WiFi, rude hosts, and the water does not work to take a shower or brush your teeth. Absolutely ridiculous they charge this amount. DO NOT stay here and make a mistake like I did. You will have more accommodation paying $10 at a hostel.
Almost everything. Our room (227) was high-ceilinged, spacious and bright because of the two huge windows. Close to a lot of restaurants, beachfront and there's a supermarket behind the hotel. The receptionist named Raquel is kind enough to grant my request for a late check in (an hour longer).
Hotel staff was kind and willing to help and answer our requests. Really spatious room, bathroom really good and with a lot of space. Breakfast was also good, but nothing really special. Not far away from the beach, some restaurants close by.
Great location close to the pier and restaurants/bars. It’s a lovely looking hotel on a fairly quiet street. Receptionist was amazing. She was friendly, helpful and made us feel immediately comfortable. Comfortable beds. Nice terrace.
Excellent location. The washing machine was also a dryer! Unexpected bonus and unusual in Spain. Kitchen well stocked with dishes. We enjoyed our evenings in the apt when the temperature cooled down (see below ). Beds comfortable.
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 .
Stylish old-fashioned hotel with lots of history, beautiful interiors and great water views from almost all windows. All modern conveniences in room. Comfortable beds. Helpful, friendly staff. Easy and free parking outside.
The hotel was very quaint old home turned into a hotel. It was a short walk to the beach. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast in the basement was good. The room was quiet and clean.
The staff were awesome!! Had an issue with parking which was totally unrelated to the hotel but they solved the problem for us!! Room was very comfortable and we loved all the pillows 💕
