Gran Hotel Sardinero

The hotel is easy to get to. Check in was seamless. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and the AC worked. The beach is across the street and the town is a €5 cab ride.

The WiFi is slow.

Beautiful hotel in a central location with the coolest car lift ever. Delicious breakfast too.

Nothing.

Great spacious room and bathroom. Comfy beds and the hotel has a modern look and feel.

The location of this hotel across from a long, beautiful beach is perfect. There is a walkway along the water that stretches for kilometers. There are buses every five minutes that go from a stop by the hotel into the center of the city in 10 minutes or less. The rooms were not big, but very comfortable and the bathrooms are immaculate. A big surprise for us was the restaurant. We arrived Sunday night after a long day of travel and decided to eat at the hotel. The food was excellent, although there were few people in the restaurant. The 25 euro menu included three full courses of your choice, mineral water and wine — a full bottle for the two of us. In fact, it was a bit too much food for us, but ala carte options were also available. We’d stay at this hotel again if we were in Santander.

I’m not a fan of the long pillows they have in Spain. Would prefer two smaller ones.
