Great location, very short walk to the beach. Hotel was lovely, well furnished and clean. Staff could have been friendlier, and location-wise there weren't too many restaurants to choose from.

The hotel is located a short walk from the beach. It is a very comfortable hotel, and good value for money. There is a lovely walk along the seafront towards the city centre.

We had a lovely three nights stay at Hotel Santemar. Staff were very friendly and helpful, it is a comfortable and well located hotel only minutes from the beautiful Sardinero beach. I would happily recommend this hotel for a stay in Santander.

Beautiful and well kept hotel. It’s equivalent to a high end hotel in Chicago or NY but a fraction of the cost. Beautiful area with plenty of walking paths and only a few meters to the beach.

Not a home from home
Great location and clean. If you like sleep ask for a room away from the front entrance bar. Breakfast was not great value for money. Reception was poor on arrival, no information was relayed as to breakfast times etc.

Good quality hotel overall. Room was comfortable and clean, parking garage very convenient at 18 euros per night. Free on street parking is also available. There is no outside space to relax in, which would have been nice, considering the beach location. We found limited dining options in the immediate area, particularly on a festival day. The town was vibrant with lots of bars and restaurants but is a 30 minute walk. Beaches are lovely and we enjoyed walking along the promenade.

It is a very old building, which has not been maintained well. We were given room 101 that faced the backyard and smelled throughout. We tried complaining but they didn’t understand. Overall would rate it as 3 star

From start to finish customer service excellent. Room decor shower bathroom mini fridge slippers and robes complimentary water and cleaning every day if needed. Free extended checkout for one hour and 10 euro pr hr after that. Massive help. Close to restaurants bars shops ice cream parlours excellent bus service to take you to city centre and towns for €1.30 each way. Taxis and ranks on hand. €6 euro to puerto chico next town full of eateries bars and by harbour. Only downfall of hotel is no pool and not a great menu in restaurant and bit of an odour so never ate there. Has a gym and salons and specialised delicatessan next door.
