"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...

"Primero de todo: La habitación que se oferta en Hoteles.com, la doble premium en concreto, NO se corresponde con la habitación que te entregan. Y no es ligeramente distinta. Es que no tiene nada que ver. De hecho, no habríamos reservado nunca jamás algo así. El internet que se oferta es de 250 megas garantizados. En realidad no llega a 60, y es imposible trabajar. Algo que también nos ha afectado de manera negativa e inesperada. Se anuncia calefacción/aire acondicionado. Esto es también...

"This is a fantastic little B&B. The lady running the place was ever so friendly, helpful and patient with our efforts to communicate in Spanish. Each room has its own private entrance, so you feel like you have your privacy. Although there's no air conditioning, you can manage the summer temperatures somewhat by keeping the shutters down and the windows cracked open. The "lavender room" we stayed in had heart-shaped rugs and pillows, and even a heart-shaped bath. It was great! Breakfast...

Top Zoo de la Magdalena Hotel Reviews

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)."

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."

Hotel Santemar

10/10 Excellent

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