Hotel Santander

This is a nice hotel for staying in the city center. The staff are generally helpful (even though the middle-aged lady may be brusque/abrupt at first), but may be limited in English so you may have a communication/cultural obstacle. The room decor is very nice. It is old-fashioned so it doesn't have a common computer or printer. It does have wi-fi. There's no food on site or eating allowed in the room. Overall, I liked this hotel and would return if I wanted to be in that neighborhood. ...read more

I have told the people at the hotel that I was
very impressed with my stay there. By the 2nd day, people at the desk remembered me well enough to know which room I was staying in. The bathroom was immaculate and very spacious. There was wonderfully hot water available at all times, and I was glad to make use of the hair dryer provided. There was a separation door between the room and the bathroom/entrance. This allowed hall noise to be effectively eliminated. Staff was very pleasant; did not insist on being paid up-front; the last day of the stay was fine with them. Upon arrival, the maid came into the room and explained the various features. Easy arm chair provided a lovely place to sit and read. Flat-screen TV and remote were very adequate. Of course the location of the hotel was excellent.

Family owned and managed hotel in an older building, handsomely furnished and well-maintained, clean, quiet, secure, no hassles, helpful management, great location. I stayed there 21 years ago and again in Jan. 2012. Both times were enjoyable.

It's a typical old fashioned hotel. Rooms are comfortable, good beds, large bathrooms. There are some normal city noises that we did not find objectionable.
