Gran Hotel Victoria, Santander

The hotel offers small but very clean and well-equipped rooms, most with balconies providing good views of the bay. While the rooms felt like a conference room of a business hotel, this was compensated by having a large terrace with stunning views of the nearby coast. The service was very helpful and accommodating to any questions or needs, although it came with an additional cost of £5 a night. The location is excellent, with a short walk to beach views and the sea, along with easy access to superb beaches and the beautiful coastline. The dining experience was a mix of very good options but lacked value for money at 11 euros. Overall, the facilities were well-maintained and efficient.

Having a lovely large terrace was a blessing for us with two young children who needed more space to move around. The rooms had large balconies with sea views, were comfortable, and had everything we needed. However, there was a security risk on the patio door. The hotel provided us with a facility to store all our bikes securely, and the location was perfect for ferry passengers. The dining experience, though good, could still improve to match its peers.

The hotel offers a spacious room with a balcony, ensuring a bright and comfortable stay. The service is exceptional, always friendly and helpful. The location is second to none, close to superb beaches and beautiful coastline. The dining experience is mixed, with good options but with room for improvement. The facilities are well-maintained and enhance the overall stay experience.

My stay at the hotel was lovely. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with a great balcony and sea view. The service was efficient, and the staff pointed out a charming wine and cheese shop. The location was excellent, near El Sardinero beach, with a huge wrap-round balcony. However, the dining options were limited, and breakfast was only available after 8 am. The pool area was well-maintained and enjoyable.
