We had a fantastic stay at a hotel in a great location with breathtaking views. The room was clean and comfortable, and the housekeeping staff did a wonderful job. Breakfast was decent, although it could have been better for a 4-star hotel. it was a memorable stay, especially for our 20th wedding anniversary. We would recommend this hotel to others.

location is fantastic and reception people are very friendly.
We asked for a family room. They gave us the room on the 5th floor. They were two rooms with a living room and there was no possibility (a pair of wooden shoehorns would have been enough) of keeping the doors open so we had to use the furniture to be able to keep an eye on the children without having to open the door with the key... glasses in the bathroom are plastic. terrace railing was covered with cobwebs. There was only one duvet in the double room and although it was a good temperature in Santander in the rooms it was cool and there was no duvet for the two beds in the children's room. bathroom window is situated above a window that can be opened completely which seems to me a danger on a 5th floor where there are children staying. breakfast buffet staff with very bad manners did not allow us access because they said that we were not registered although on our arrival the receptionist indicated that there was no problem. cafeteria was closed on Sunday afternoon... we communicated in reception our bad experience with the buffet on Saturday morning she indicated that she would take care of it and to communicate to the buffet staff that we did not need to register to access, during the rest of our stay we were not informed that we could access the buffet breakfast without any problem so we ended up having breakfast again in the annexed cafeteria to avoid another confrontation. In short, bad breakfast experience triggered a much more critical assessment of the hotel. It's a pity because the building and location is a wonder.
Tourists from New Zealand often stay at these properties. Ideas for your future trips.
