Shocking treatment by both the hotel and hotels.com
We were treated with utter contempt by the venue who after much complaining refunded some of our money, very small percentage.
Hotels.com also refused to refund the rewards used even though they mis sold the services and standard of the hotel.
Hotels.com service even worse than the hotel, as a loyal customer with in excess of 1000 booking over 10 years I am disgusted.
Both should be ashamed of themselves

Our ferry was late in and we didn’t get to the Hotel until about 11pm, we had booked a meal in the restaurant in advance and the staff waited for us a cooked us a meal, which was excellent and the staff were fantastic they couldn’t do enough for us.
The room was roomy and set out well and a comphy bed, when we put the TV there was no English speaking channels a bit disappointing but not the end of the world.
The breakfast was excellent and value for money, this Hotel was very nice and would stay again and spend a few days in Santander in the future, we would recommend this hotel excellent.

The location of the hotel was excellent with s short walk to the bus station and the beach.
However, the hotel is a bit tired looking especially the bar and dining area. Also the staff in the bar were often very difficult to find and breakfast was very overpriced and very basic.
Overall we would certainly return to Santander as it is a beautiful city but would definitely give this hotel a wide berth.

Staff were very friendly at check-in and in the bar. Room was huge and it looked like the hallway had recently been refreshed with a new carpet.
Highly recommend.

Room was great. Separate sitting area. Huge bedroom, massage bed very comfortable. Pity we were staying only one night as we had just come from the ferry. Got the room at a good price.

We decided to get away for a weekend and booked this hotel in Santander. The room was much bigger than we expected for what we paid and the bathroom had a sizeable shower and bathtub. We didn't have breakfast there but there are a few nice cafes around. The staff were great and we felt very welcome! Would definitely recommend this hotel ... We went in February but it must be great in the summer!

Lovely 6 days. Beautiful beaches and walks. City of Santander very interesting and very Spanish, not much spoken English which was a bit of a problem. Tourist office only dealt with Santander and not surrounding coast or area which was a bit of a problem, until we worked out where we thought we wanted to go to and found the appropropriate bus timetable at the bus station. We had no car. We found visiting Bilbao for the Guggenheim ok, but you needed to book the bus a day or so ahead, as all the early buses (9.00 am.) were full and the next one with some spaces, not many, was at 11.00 a.m. a bit later than we wanted to go, but it worked out ok and was a great museum to visit.

We stayed in a junior suite and it was excellent the space was fab the only downside is the room was a little tired nothing a coat of paint wouldn't sort
The balcony could do with a sweep n clean the room would benefit from air conditioning
2.0
The hotel is very dated and dull. It definitely needs renovated and brought into 2015.
Room had mould on the ceiling and all over the curtains, the bed was uncomfortable and the hallway stank of cigarette smoke even though it was supposedly non smoking.
We tried to use the bar once but waited 20mins on a member of staff before giving up.
Staff we encounterd were pleasant and hotel is close to Santander centre.
Wouldn't stay again.

My suite was very nice, roomy, and clean. Looking at this hotel from the outside, you would never know.

Hotel was simple enough to find after a delayed overnight crossing. Staff really helpful and allowed us to squeeze 3 motorbikes into one parking space. Breakfast was everything we needed and the scrambled eggs renewed as soon as we asked. Room was really spacious and perfect for us. Overall great value.
2.0
The hotel is in a fairly nice location, as it is only a few minutes away from the beach. It is also about a 20 minute walk away from the center. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. The room was nice and spacious (separate living room area with couch, table and tv). There is also another tv in the bedroom. There is a wonderful gym located nearby. As a guest of the hotel, you can go to the gym for free. The only negative about this hotel is that the buffet breakfast was extremely overpriced and did not offer many food options.
4.0
We specifically booked this hotel as we were attending a game in the stadium just down the road so, for us, it was ideally located. Others may wish to stay more centrally as we have in the past. The area is very nice with the beaches very close and in Summer would be ideal. The centre is easy to reach via bus and the walk along the coastal path into the centre is very pleasant.
2.0
I stayed out of season so the hotel was very quiet, but the staff were great and the room was huge, more like a junior suite. Breakfast was pretty comprehensive too

After 2 weeks of travelling through Spain, what an amazing and pleasant surprise to find ourselves at Placio del Mar in Santander. Amazing value for an amazing room/suite.

Excellent situation, close to beach. Good carpark ing facilities, very safe. Decor different!
1.5
Pros: Good size room, beautiful, spacious bathroom; menu of the day in dining room an excellent value, reception desk staff very helpful with touring arrangements, etc.
Cons: No English-speaking channel on TV; no iron or ironing board available; bathroom amenities never replenished (ie one bottle of bath gel for my 4 day stay); no coffee-maker or teapot available in hotel room; although hotel offered a free drink in its hotel bar at check-in, I never could use it because it would appear the bartender didn't "notice" a single woman in the bar; "pool" offered was not one where you could lounge around, just a pool at a gymnasium off the property; could not seem to ever reach reception after 10:00 for a wake-up call; neighborhood has very few restaurants within walking distance (and the one I did patronize was over-priced and served the worst meal I had on my 1-month trip); location is very far from central and historical city

Was really surprised at the size of the rooms - the room we got was HUGE, with table, chairs, sofa, space to run around and a great balcony. Really clean and comfortable. It's a good job I love purple, because the decor is pretty much lilac all the way through, and slightly seaside-themed which was interesting. ^_^ Breakfast was OK - not a massive choice, mainly because the hotel seemed quite empty when we were there, but what we had was fresh and there was plenty to be had. I'd definitely visit this hotel again on another trip driving through Spain. It's a nice starting off/finishing place, and just down the road from the ferry port. Good value.
2.0
Very good stay... Excelent guess services. I had a medical emergency and the hotel was very proactive and got almost immediately medical services.
2.5
Seperate lounge, bedroom with large jacuzzi type bath, seperate shower and wc. Doors leading to balcony from the bedroom and lounge. We were only expecting a standard room which is normally associated with a 4 star hotel, so a great surprise. Doesn't look much from the outside, but in a nice part of town.
