    affordable meal
    expensive parking

    great beachfront experience but parking is pricey

    The room we had was a double with an incredible sea view, making our stay much more enjoyable. The shower room was spacious and very well appointed, adding comfort to our experience.

    Parking is only available in the underground garage at a high daily rate.

    Stunning views from the sea-view room were breathtaking.

    Buffet breakfast was cramped and lacked variety.

    amazing trip
    perfect location
    vibrant cafes
    lack of coffee amenities

    Amazing trip with friends! The location was perfect for beach access, and we loved exploring the vibrant cafes nearby. Don't miss the top-floor junior suite duplexes for stunning views. Just a heads up, the hotel's specialty coffee situation wasn't ideal. But overall, a fantastic place to unwind and enjoy the sun!

    The only downside was that the rooms don’t offer the chance of making coffee or tea! I need that morning coffee!

    crowded dining area

    The hotel’s elegant decor and spacious common areas made it easy for me to navigate, truly a delight for my golden years. It’s charmingly decorated with thoughtful wood features that give it a warm ambiance.

    Need more seating in the dining area.

    variety of drinks

    Just a reliable pick for resting while in Santander with high value for money. The breakfast buffet was very good. Try to explore the nearby small bar with a wide range of rums and gins.

    ocean views
    great location
    underwhelming breakfast
    limited dining options

    Stunning views and great location

    I had a beautiful stay with a room that boasted breathtaking ocean views and a lovely terrace to enjoy the scenery. The beachfront location was perfect for long walks and relaxing by the sea. The restaurant offered an excellent meal for a reasonable price, making dining enjoyable. However, I found the breakfast options a bit underwhelming compared to what I expected for the price.

    sea view
    great atmosphere
    helpful staff
    cold food
    limited amenities
    breakfast quality

    The Gran Hotel Sardinero has a beautiful location right across from the beach. I loved the spacious sea view room with amazing views from multiple balconies. The room felt more like an apartment and was spotlessly clean. Staff were generally friendly and helpful. The breakfast had a decent variety, although I found it lacking in fresh hot options like eggs, which were often cold. I also missed having coffee-making facilities in the room. it would’ve made mornings much nicer. Getting to the ferry terminal was convenient, and the bar had great coffee.

    sea view
    spacious rooms
    great location
    missing fridge

    The rooms are spacious, and the sea view from our junior suite was mesmerizing. The location opposite the beach was perfect for family fun. We had a delightful time exploring the nearby promenades and dining at the hotel’s cafeteria, which offered tasty options.

    In my kids' opinion, having a mini fridge in the room would have been great for snacks.
