An interesting place to relax and discover the culture of the northern part of Spain, a safe city. Excellent cuisine famous for tapas/pintxos e.g. in the market in the city centre. Lots of parks and green spaces, friendly people. The Cabo Faro lighthouse is worth a visit, there are the beaches and their lively bustle, the Magdalena peninsula and the market in the centre of town, where you can enjoy a great meal. Lots of museums to visit.AAnonymousSlovakia - 10Scored 10

A handsome, friendly city which is undoubtedly underrated as a destination. Safe, clean, lots of varied sights, beautiful coastal walks right from the city centre. Inexpensive! Superb prehistoric museum. Bring a jacket / umbrella, it's cooler and wetter than elsewhere in Spain. Note: it is a very monolingual area: other than in hotels and the occasional individual in a shop or cafe, most people there speak ONLY Spanish!NuthallUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10
This was our 3rd visit to Santander in 12 months.
This was our 3rd visit to Santander in 12 months. For £31 per person return flights from the UK, it is cheaper than staying at home. Santander is a vibrant, fun and energetic city with plenty to occupy any visitor. The food options are to many to count and the bars are fun and friendly through the evening.

I saw lots of reviews recommending this town.
I saw lots of reviews recommending this town. It was not for me. The planetarium, which many raved about? Closed. Has been closed for a while, actually. And apparently when it was open, it wasn't open to walk-ins. Tour groups only, pre-booked, minimum of 5 people. Many restaurants were reservation only, actually. Many more were closed. Saw my first homeless tent encampment ten minutes after arriving in the city. Graffiti everywhere. So many ATMs on Google maps, marked closed. Shops closed or going out of business. "Rebajas" signs everywhere. So many multi-lingual beggars. Lots of smashed windows, sadly. The town looked like some of the worse areas of other cities I've been to, but all over. Even the church, which was recommended as a very nice building, had homeless and beggars in it. I was there on Sunday (so many things closed) and Monday. For a place supposedly well known for it's meals of fresh fish, mine was bland at best. For a Spanish town, surprisingly few tapas places.JohnIreland - 10Scored 10
Santander is so quaint.
Santander is so quaint. The historic buildings are beautiful. There are so many bars, tapas bars and restaurants everything is so easy to find and within walking distance. It just felt so clean and just a lovely place to visit we will be back. We went to Bilbao for the day on the bus from the bus station, but pre book your seats as it’s always busy. It takes about 1.5 hours but well worth it then you can jump on the tram line into the centre There were too many bars and restaurants to mention but the one right outside the hotel was wonderful too.

We used Santander as a base to explore prehistoric caves, historical sites and the surrounding parks. Six days barely got us started. I will say going in January worked well as temperatures were mild and rain was sporadic. We didn’t leave enough time to explore all the city but people were friendly, there were new things to see everywhere and the food is great.

- From 399.82 lei per night9.2Scored 9.2SuperbRated superb· 2,444 reviewsThe location - just a few moments walk into the city centre and a very pleasant 20 min walk to the El Sardinero beach area. Contemporary rooms with some lovely complementary touches - snacks and drinks. The staff are incredibly helpful with their local knowledge and their English is impeccable. Look forward to returning one day, maybe to the new property next door which is opening imminently and looks to be a beautiful building. Well done to Jorge and his team. Exceptional customer service and a delightful hotel.
LeeUnited Kingdom - From 671.93 lei per night8.7Scored 8.7FabulousRated fabulous· 4,486 reviewsLovely location on el sardinero beach. Great view from the hotel balcony. Staff were friendly and helpful. Free parking outside for our car. Rooms were big with plenty of storage space. We stayed 3 nights and had breakfast on the last morning. Would probably say not really worth €13 as was pretty much a cold buffet and coffee out of a machine. We had been to some cafes in Santander the previous 2 mornings and got fresh coffee and pastry for €3 euro each of better quality so would recommend doing this instead.LauraUnited Kingdom
- From 751.57 lei per night8.8Scored 8.8FabulousRated fabulous· 7,007 reviewsThe hotel is located across the road from ferry terminal. Rail and bus stations are a 5 minute walk away. Very central location for shopping or walking on promenade. The Sardinera beach area is a 40 minute stroll away. There are plenty of buses going to beach area. All staff were polite, friendly and professional. We had a comfortable large room. The public areas are very nicely furnished. We have stayed in the hotel a few times and never been disappointed. I would recommend Hotel Bahia to family and friends.

Telling us exactly where we could park a vehicle .Couldn't do enough for us. before visiting you, we stopped in two big luxury hotels, one of which in barcelona .

The location was perfect for the beach. Bus stop very close to the hotel to go into the centre of Santander (€1.30) There are some great restaurants and bars near the hotel.

- 7.4Scored 7.4GoodRated good· 275 reviewsThis is the worst place I have stayed in Spain. The room is extremely hot, no venting or air conditioning, no WiFi, rude hosts, and the water does not work to take a shower or brush your teeth. Absolutely ridiculous they charge this amount. DO NOT stay here and make a mistake like I did. You will have more accommodation paying $10 at a hostel.
