Adventure Sport Hotels & Resorts in Santander from AU$103

"Very clean, comfortable bed. We had a sea view and the windows when closed, cut out the traffic noise. Good to have a kettle in the room. Good breakfast buffet. "

"Fabulous historic hotel! I was blown away by its level of finish. Rooms were large and comfortable and the views were phenomenal. Price was in line for the standard of service. I would recommend this hotel highly."

"Hotel Chiqui sits in a unique position at the end of a beautiful stretch of beach and we had a wonderful week long stay. From the first moment the staff were friendly and attentive and spoke such good English my efforts on Duolingo were pointless! The hotel is modern and clean and the infinity pool is a bonus, with a shallow (waist deep) side suitable for leisurely swims and the remainder is ankle deep with 2 sunbeds to dry off on. Our room was comfortable and spotless with a balcony looking over the pool and beyond to the beach and the peninsula opposite. Breakfast is a Continental buffet so don't go expecting a full english. There is plenty of everything and it's fresh. There wasn't much within walking distance to amble to for dinner etc but the city centre is just a cheap bus ride away and if not there are 2 little supermarkets to get snacks and a bottle of wine. We ate in the Panorama restaurant at the hotel on our last evening and the food was excellent. Be prepared for a QR code for a translation of the menu (Google Translate had turned 'mature beef' into 'old cow') but the language barrier again was not a problem. This is a lovely part of the world, away from the touristy areas of the southern Spainish coast and Hotel Chiqui is a perfect spot to explore the area from. Highly recommend."

"Friendly stuff. Clean room. Giid value for price. "

"Good location close to town. Has a cafeteria and breakfast room. Has its own parking garage but parking is not free for guests. Has coffee service and serví bar in the room. Good value. "

"The hotel is right on road by the Sardinero beach, but a bit off the beaten track for major sightseeing sites and restaurants. If you love to look at and walk along the seaside, this is a great place for you. If you want to be in the heart of the action, this might seem too far away from those areas. Our room was small but adequate, and it was acceptably clean. We found the beds comfortable and the street was quiet enough late in the evening to have the window open for sea breeze and wave sounds (we visited early in the season, so this may not be true in summer!). The restaurant was surprisingly good and with excellent service. The front desk staff seemed confused by their computer system, making check in and check out leisurely, but they were also very accommodating and helpful in suggesting parking options and places to go. Overall, a good experience and very good value for the price."

"I had a very disappointing experience. I specifically booked and paid an additional €25 for an upgraded room, but upon arrival, I was given a standard room with separate beds—the most basic option listed on Expedia. This was already frustrating, as it did not match what I had paid for. The situation became worse with the air conditioning, which was not functioning properly. Instead of cooling the room, it was mostly blowing hot air, making the environment very uncomfortable. As a result, I had no choice but to open the window. The hotel is located in a very central area(this is why I choose it), with a bar and restaurant nearby. Since it was a Friday night, the noise levels were extremely high, and I was unable to rest at all. Additionally, the overall maintenance condition of the hotel is far below the NH standard I am accustomed to, which made the experience even more disappointing. I was only stopping over while traveling by car, hoping for a good night’s rest, but this turned into a complete nightmare. Overall, this experience fell far below expectations and was very disappointing."

"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"

"Had to put the heating on when I arrived as the room was very cold. The decor was very old, paint peeling and skirting loose. The washbasin was clean, hairs on it and the water from the tap was just a dribb. Having a shower was difficult as when you held the shower head up the water stopped altog. At the garage, the hotel advertised the price as €12 when it was actually €17. "
