"Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel - and I let the reception staff know how much we liked it on checking out. The beds were comfortable, the shower was efficient and it was good to have two chairs in the room to relax in. I particularly liked the breakfast buffet. No hot dishes but that was fine with me. Nice breads, cereals, cold meats and fruit. I don't understand, though, why hotels in Spain (of all places!) don't have grapes in the buffet. Nicely located too away from the biz but...

Top The Cathedral Hotel Reviews

Hotel Chiqui

8/10 Good

"The room was great. The pool requires reservations for the lounge chairs. And the hotel restaurant closed in the middle of the day- leaving us scrambling for a meal when we.arrived. We ended up getting groceries."

Hotel Art Santander

8/10 Good

"The room I had was magnificent, with a fabulous view over the bay, and perfectly clean. Breakfast was good, with a very diverse choice including eggs, sausages, charcuterie, cheese, pastries, fruit etc. Staff were helpful, with recommendations for good viewing locations for the total eclipse. Be sure to use the stairs to see the varied art and decor of each landing and floor. The whole hotel was perfectly clean and tidy, but needs more thorough attention to minor ongoing repairs; small things like a set of plug sockets (and hence one bedside light) not working, a dubious join in the flex to a lamp, a shower-head holder which would not stay in position, a misted glazing unit, and the electronic safe lock not working (so I was entrusted with a key instead)."

Gran Hotel Sardinero

10/10 Excellent

"Location, food , facilities"

Dorma Coliseum

8/10 Good

"Soap and shampoo dispensers available but no skin lotion nor toothpaste. No facial tissues either. Bottled Water for sale in mini fridge. Very helpful front desk who helped me booked the Alsa bus to my next destination. Hotel is located within a 10 minute walk to the central bus station and the same distance to Centro Botin and the waterfront. Within walking distance to restaurant and bars. Room is large."

Hotel Bahia

8/10 Good

"Great location for museums, art galleries and the ferry. Breakfast was good but no baked beans or mushrooms. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean but there was a screw loose on the toilet seat and the bathroom door was warped. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it."

Ibis Styles Santander

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was great and the restaurant gave a few options but all very reasonable and very tasty. The beds are very comfortable, even the sofa bed was comfy. The staff were all very helpful polite and made the stay a pleasant experience. Would definitely stay here again."

Estudios Aranzazu

10/10 Excellent

"The accommodation was clean and comfortable with a very welcome ceiling fan cooling the temperature. We were arriving late (then my flight was delayed further) and were asked to check in online before 11.00pm but this was complicated and wouldn't work for me. But all was well and there was someone on duty at reception to check us in. Helpful and friendly reception staff. Good location - easy walk into town/waterfront and plenty of buses nearby. Only negative was very limited cooking equipment and absence of cloths for wiping/cleaning. A kettle, cups/mugs and wiping cloths would have helped."

Hotel Santemar

10/10 Excellent

"Good stay at this quite large hotel. Room was beautiful and clean. Helpful staff. "

Sercotel El Balcón de la Bahía

10/10 Excellent

"This is a cute little hotel tucked in a quiet residential street just five minutes from the City Centre. The front desk team is very helpful incl Daniel and the other lady I forget her name. They will give you lots of recommendations. Rooms are a little tight check the sq ft before you book in case you need extra room (we had to switch rooms). The back side is quieter than the rooms facing the front. Good AC / room amenities. Highly recommend Natu Healthy Cafe and La Mano de Fatima for vegetarians. Parking is limited in the hotel but free parking on the street but hard to get spots."
