Lovely hotel near to Santander's Sardinero beach

Lovely hotel with all the modern conveniences, conveniently located for Santander's Sardinero beach, and close by to the Palacio de Magdalena and near enough to Santander town centre.

Have stayed in this hotel many times over the last few years. The location is perfect just a short walk to the main area of Sardinero and the beach. The food is amazing. Having tried most restaurants in the area, this is by far the best food. Rooms are very clean. My one criticism is that the rooms are a bit plain and outdated, especially the bathrooms. Nevertheless a very nice place to stay if visiting Santander
