4 star hotels in Santander

Great central location, near shops and the market and public transport. Room had everything you needed. Front desk staff helpful. Quiet rooms, hard bouncy beds though.

This is the second time we stay in this hotel and our expectations were met. We like the service in general and the location is perfect to know the city.

Great hotel we'll located. Good bar, large rooms and spotlessly clean, the additionof a nespressocofffe machineis a welcome touch. I'd say the breakfast is a little too expensive so go next door to the Cafe botanico..... good coffee and sensible prices.

Very nice reception staff, very helpful. Rooms were clean and had everything you need. Great location in the the centre of town.

Location was excellent. Breakfast really good. Room lovely and dark. Most staff were super friendly and helpful. They offered to allow us to check in at 12.30pm as our room was ready. Lady at reception lent us an umbrella to dodge the rain. They looked after bags for us and called a taxi,

Really nice hotel in a great location. Only negative is the bad WiFi. Connection is bad and so is the speed.

Excellent location and conditions for a 3 nights city break

Great location in El Sardinero. An easy drive to the ferry the next day which is what we were wanting from this stay

Excellent location, clean rooms, nice staff. It has a very retro flair, whick makes it kindof fun. The breakfast was below my expectations. Mostly plastic-wrapped pastry. Plastic-wrapped everything! Fruit was OK.

Nice hotel rooms are very good,was quite disappointed with restaurant when we stayed,only menu del dia,which was starter main and dessert,wasn't impressed with the choice,breakfast just had drink and pastrie,we had,location is nice but not to many restaurants around,when we did find one it didn't open till 20.30 or 21.00,

A great location at El Sardinero area and beach, the hotel is well equiped and furbished. Rooms are comfortable although not very spacious. Their restaurant is worth a try, we had an excellent menu including fresh fish. The staff very professional. The surroundinds of the hotel are great for walks, as the neiborhood is full or parks.

This hotel is good

Amazing customer service. Clean rooms. Easy to find and perfectly situated near the port. Took great care of us! Highly recommend and will be staying with them again!

Room a bit small for the price, although very confortable, and nice bathroom. Perfect location, next to the city center.

Perfect hotel for our few days away, got a free sea view upgrade as we checked in!!

Beautiful views overlooking the bay and marina. Though it was on main road, the room was quiet and we couldn't hear any traffic noise. Well located for an easy walk to local bars, restaurants, etc. Very good value hotel given its location.

Had a very short stay trying to get some sleep after some disrupted travel, but can say room was spotless, nicely decorated and with a very comfy bed. Probably the rooms facing Puertochico have a lovely view, but booking the cheaper ones gets you an internal window. Staff were friendly and helpful despite checking in the early hours.

Comfort would of like a room with a veiw but it was £50 more a night a little over priced

Lovely clean hotel with big rooms and fantastic bathrooms. Very close to the beach and local amenities. Did not use the restaurant as there is plenty of bars and restaurants nearby offering local food and pinchos. The clincher was the secure underground car park for a very small fee. We surely will use this hotel again if we return to Santander.

The hotel has some 90's vibes from the outside but very modern and clean in this inside. Rooms were clean and well equipped Breakfast was great ! But what I enjoyed the most was the kindness of every person working in that hotel! Some of the nicest people I ever met!!! Thank you!

We stayed for 2 nights while waiting for the ferry back to UK. The room was excellent. The deal including parking and breakfast was very good. The hot items on the breakfast buffet were cold even when fresh from the kitchen. We will stay with you again Thank you very much.

Great location close to El Sardinero Beach. A short (cheap) bus ride/ 25 minute walk from the town centre in a lovely neighbourhood. The Hotel was very clean and exuded a certain type of "elegance" You could say it was 4* by name and 4* by nature The bedroom was very nicely decorated with a large comfy bed. A complimentary bottle of water in the fridge would have been preferable to the (unpriced) mini...

They mixed up our reservation and had us having a sea-view with 2 single beds. They didn't fix it the first night but told us come down in the morning. I did at 630 but they said come back at 930. So j did and then they got us a new room. Other than that the stag was nice, the area is great, and the beach is a simple 100 yards walk away.

Bien todo perfecto

Good location for the ferry. Underground parking very secure. Breakfast a bit pricey but eat as much as you want.

Very comfortable hotel situated right at the front of the promenade with a great view over the sea, as long as the mist is not there! The hotel staff were all very helpful, l only wish my Spanish was as good as their English. All areas of the hotel were very clean and the rooms were very comfortable, the breakfast was good it was buffet style with a good selection to please most tastes.

A super hotel in every respect. Large comfortable room with a view of the city. Good breakfast, very convenient for the city centre and the ferry port. Helpful staff and easy parking via a car lift to the level assigned on arrival. Excellent restaurant if you want a meal and a cafeteria for out of hours snacks and drinks. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the hotel or to revisit in the future.

My dad visited for lunch and loved the place, great service and food. Many thanks to Jesus and David!

Great rooms overlooking the ferry port. Excellent reception staff. Dining experience not great.

Good service and location in Santander. Very convenient for the ferry (Brittany ferry). Staff spoke good English. Very clean. Large bathrooms. One of our rooms had a bath others a double shower.

Considering what we paid to stay at this hotel, I would expect breakfast to be included and tea & coffee making facilities in the room. Restaurant didn’t open until 8.30pm which is too late for children to eat. After some searching we found a lovely little restaurant around the corner from the hotel. Balcony overlooking the beach was the best part of the room. Reception staff were polite and friendly...

Pour value for the money 280€ a night The location is great the architecture impressive but inside it is cold and impersonal you are in Spain in Cantabria but you could be in Australia or in Texas as well. The welcome is cold and they only provide the strict minimum. Not even a bottle of water in the room. You feel the greediness of the owners.

What a beautiful hotel with great service. I do recommend this hotel if you visit Santander. The rooms are spacious and clean.

Beautiful comfortable accommodation. The Menu del Día was terrific value & quality. Next morning prebooked breakfast €26/2 was pointless, it was a struggle to get service, cafe 2 x toast & a tiny sandwich, asked for zumo, none came. It was appalling value served by someone who seemed to bieve customers were in the way

Gorgeous hotel. Comfy rooms. Very quiet sleep. Slightly further away from town but right on the beach

Amazing hotel!!! Staff are really helpful, friendly, and polite. Location is spot on. Just a stone's throw from a beautiful beach, surrounded by bars and restaurants. Regular buses run from just outside the hotel to Santander itself. Just 5 minutes drive from the ferry port

Great location, welcoming reception staff, comfortable bed and very clean.

Beautiful hotel, great location

Excellent hotel in the center of Santander, service was really friendly and helpful!

Excellent hotel in the center of Santander. Completely renovated in 2022. Modern, spacious and quiet rooms. Staff very kind and welcoming and inclined to provide the various indications and attractions of the city. The non-hotel parking is right in the square a few meters from the hotel

Stayed here in July. Hotel has a fantastic location on the front and there was an amazing sea view from our room. However, on returning to the room on the 2nd day we had no cups or satchets of coffee/milk for the morning. When I went to reception to get some I was told that coffee etc was only complimentary on the first night - surely even 2 star hotels supply free satchets of coffee/tea etc! In the...

Air conditioning pour. The hotel staff very nice. The hotel needs esthetic repairs. Definitely not the money they ask for.

Love this place. We got here around 9.30-10 am after an overnight flight. Super tired with no sleep. Check-in time is 3pm. Staff (Gina & the other girl) was so accommodating and found us a room for us to check in earlier. The location is amazing with the beach and water views. We parked our rental car right in front for free. There's a casino next door. Great breakfast. Few KM's away from the center...

Lovely hotel, located right across the street from the beach. Many restaurants close by. Great walkway for miles along the ocean. Excellent breakfast in the morning. Parking is hard though.

Very nice room with sea view. Location is very good, beach and lots of restaurants at walking distance. The room was big and the bathroom and the towels were great. When you are in a long vacation going from hotel to hotel you valued small things like big new towels. The staff were very friendly and the breakfast was also ok.

There are many wonderful things about the Hotel Silken Rio Santander. The views out the ocean side of the hotel are stunning. It's literally across the street. It's clean, comfortable, and quiet. Be aware -- the hotel can sway a little in the wind. My room was initially on the 5th floor, but I was getting dizzy from the tiny movements, so I asked to move to a lower floor, and they were very gracious...

Good location close to the beach and restaurants. Clean room and public areas. Nice restaurant and breakfast

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Beautiful location and the amenities were excellent. The staff were wonderful, warm, friendly, and very professional. I recommend the hotel highly, and would definitely stay there again.

Nice clean hotel, very friendly staff, good location

I love this hotel. I love their service from front desk to housekeeping. The hotel is very clean. Also, i love the interior of my room. It’s very close to the beach as well. If ever I’ll come back to Santander, i’ll book again to this hotel.

great place, close to the beach, very good location, clean hotel, very nice staff, delicious breakfast.

Really lovely place, great food, great rooms and fantastic location. The grounds are so peaceful and the staff so accommodating.

Like the large rooms. Very good breakfasts. Free use of swimming pool next door. Beach and supermarkets nearby. Very easy to get into Santander on numerous buses. Paseo al Cabo Mayor affords lovely views of the Sardinero beach.

Stayed here for one night prior to getting the ferry back to the UK. From the outside the hotel looks like a concrete monstrosity built in the 1960's or 1970's. However, it is totally different on the inside, being very spacious and modern, especially the rooms. Reasonably quick and friendly check in. Large and secure underground parking is available for €15 a night, however I was advised by a local...

Friendly Helpful staff. Clean rooms. Good location. It would be nice if they provide kettle for tea and coffee. All the other stuff made it good value for money. Will recommend it to anyone.

This is a stunning Hotel and the team were amazing. Rooms was enormous and very well appointed and the receptionist Sophia was very welcoming will definitely stay again when in the area.

Spacious, comfortable, and a good location, would stay here again. Handy for the ferry, straightforward to reach.

Senior suite was wonderful with a huge jacuzzi tub and plenty of room. Balcony with a view and a large comfortable bed. All amenities were very nice and in good order. Very pleasant visit! Spacious and we'll appointed.

Espectacular hotel!.. Great service especially the Bar!!

I audibly squealed when I got to my room! This hotel will make you ooh and ahh on it's own, but the views it offers, too, just wow!! The service was fantastic, rooms were clean and comfortable, and the terrace has a cafe that serves small meals if you don't want a full dinner. Breakfast is on floor -1 with a beautiful set up and outdoor seating. The beach is less than 10 minutes walk from the hotel...

I do not want to repeat what others wrote before me, but this hotel certainly did not feel like a 5-star property. Check-in - long line with one (excellent, hard-working) staffer trying to address many people. Elevator - a single elevator for a 5-story building with 120+ rooms? Really? Room - OLD, with furniture from 70s or 80s. Bathroom - neither functional nor ergonomic, with lots of marble. Towels...

This Hotel is much more.. it's an experience. . The views are spectacular, the rooms are wonderfully comfortable and spacious, the terrace is chilled and just the most beautiful space to eat,drink and relax... overall the decor is beautifully elegant. However, above all the staff are fantastic. a must visit, we have always throughly enjoyed our visits here...highly recommend

Gorgeous hotel, with character and history. Lovely relaxed stay. Beautiful spacious room. opening out onto a nice terrace. Excellent breakfast with a huge selection. Staff are top notch.

Fantastic old style hotel, slightly in need of a refurb. Terrace for drinks is wonderful. Gym available but Spa closed ..for refurb..

A dream place with an exquisite staff. Fantastic gastronomy in the best environment. It has been such a wonderful experience that we will repeat shortly.

Magnificent experience in a unique place. Exquisite treatment, all taken care of to the smallest detail and a gastronomic experience of the highest level

I feel the experience is more alike as if being in paradise !

Truly amazing!

Extraordinary!! From the entrance you are already surrounded by a special atmosphere, a taste for the senses, everything that surrounds you is a delicacy, with an astonishing decoration taken care of to the smallest detail. Perfect stay with expectations more than met. A very special greeting to the wonderful hotel team for their kindness and professionalism, thank you very much !! Without a doubt...
