Top Santander Hotel Reviews

Hotel Antoyana

Hotel Antoyana

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was the first place we stayed at that was just right. This was not the crazy high end hotel that makes you feel like you’re sleeping in a mall. It was like sleeping at home. Cozy and quiet with a peaceful feel. It is just a little way off the street with a large property where children were playing. The staff is very professional and wonderful to deal with. We parked next to our room. No dragging luggage around. I and my husband would definitely love to return to this hotel."

"Great breakfast! Had a room with fabulous view. Bed was comfortable. Lucked out with nearby parking. Biggest discouragement was the black mold around the window and black mold on ceiling in bathroom. So simple to clean."

"All wonderful for the price. The staff were so friendly. Checkin was great and loved that the key was on your phone. The normal beds had a nice firm mattress, the window had great blinds that kept light out. Lots of space in wardrobes. Shower pressure was great (shower curtain not so great at keeping water out the bathroom). Towels provide along with small toiletries such as mini soap blocks and single use bodywash and shapoo in one, Had a TV and mini kitchenette. Good lighting in the room.with bedside tables and lights. Lots of charge points too. We were in the 5th floor with 1 quick lifts availble. Area was great, a coffee and bakery shop less than a minute away, along with two bars that were very cheap. Its around 30 minutes to the harbour and 15 minutes to closest set of resturants. The area is pretty flat with no major hills. The only niggle which we didn't raise with the hotel was that the additional bed in our triple room was very loud when ever you moved."
