Utter garbage and shocking treatment
Shocking treatment by both the hotel and hotels.com We were treated with utter contempt by the venue who after much complaining refunded some of our money, very small percentage. Hotels.com also refused to refund the rewards used even though they mis sold the services and standard of the hotel. Hotels.com service even worse than the hotel, as a loyal customer with in excess of 1000 booking over 10 years I am disgusted. Both should be ashamed of themselves

Excellent Hotel in Santander
Our ferry was late in and we didn’t get to the Hotel until about 11pm, we had booked a meal in the restaurant in advance and the staff waited for us a cooked us a meal, which was excellent and the staff were fantastic they couldn’t do enough for us. The room was roomy and set out well and a comphy bed, when we put the TV there was no English speaking channels a bit disappointing but not the end of the world. The breakfast was excellent and value for money, this Hotel was very nice and would stay again and spend a few days in Santander in the future, we would recommend this hotel excellent.

Hotel Sercotel Suite Palacio Del Mar
The location of the hotel was excellent with s short walk to the bus station and the beach. However, the hotel is a bit tired looking especially the bar and dining area. Also the staff in the bar were often very difficult to find and breakfast was very overpriced and very basic. Overall we would certainly return to Santander as it is a beautiful city but would definitely give this hotel a wide berth.

Huge room, great value
We decided to get away for a weekend and booked this hotel in Santander. The room was much bigger than we expected for what we paid and the bathroom had a sizeable shower and bathtub. We didn't have breakfast there but there are a few nice cafes around. The staff were great and we felt very welcome! Would definitely recommend this hotel ... We went in February but it must be great in the summer!

Santander is lovely city to stay in.
Lovely 6 days. Beautiful beaches and walks. City of Santander very interesting and very Spanish, not much spoken English which was a bit of a problem. Tourist office only dealt with Santander and not surrounding coast or area which was a bit of a problem, until we worked out where we thought we wanted to go to and found the appropropriate bus timetable at the bus station. We had no car. We found visiting Bilbao for the Guggenheim ok, but you needed to book the bus a day or so ahead, as all the early buses (9.00 am.) were full and the next one with some spaces, not many, was at 11.00 a.m. a bit later than we wanted to go, but it worked out ok and was a great museum to visit.

We stayed in a junior suite and it was excellent the space was fab the only downside is the room was a little tired nothing a coat of paint wouldn't sort The balcony could do with a sweep n clean the room would benefit from air conditioning

Hotel in desperate need of revitalisation.
The hotel is very dated and dull. It definitely needs renovated and brought into 2015. Room had mould on the ceiling and all over the curtains, the bed was uncomfortable and the hallway stank of cigarette smoke even though it was supposedly non smoking. We tried to use the bar once but waited 20mins on a member of staff before giving up. Staff we encounterd were pleasant and hotel is close to Santander centre. Wouldn't stay again.
