"We didn't had big expectations and were really surprised positively! The apartment was so much bigger as expected and perfect for us (4 adults and 1 child). The kitchen is small but sufficient and the terrasse was really great- we enjoyed having meals outside! The apartment is very close to one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen. I would have appreciated some more information from the hotellier here on expedia regarding c/i time, equipment (kitchen staff, bed linen and crib)- maybe...

"Superb location and views"

Center Suite Acebedos

10/10 Excellent

"The accommodations were impeccable. Maya was very helpful with recommendations. The location is a couple of blocks from the center. Parking can be a bit challenging but again Maya was very helpful. The facility is located on a sloped street but the town has installed electric escalators which are located about 300’ from the property door as you exit left."

NH Ciudad de Santander

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely stay at this hotel and was even lucky enough to get a balcony room. The rooms are spacious, clean and the beds are comfortable - no complaints. Both the reception- and cleaning staff was very kind and helpful. Because of this, the good location and the fact that they are dog friendly, we would absolutely stay here again if we return to Santander."

Ibis Styles Santander

Room ready early on arrival. Parking available which is a great bonus to leave car whilst staying. Room clean, quiet and exceeded our expectations. Excellent price. Would recommend. Thank you"
