Hotel Hoyuela

Located across the road from the Sardinero Beach was the saving grace. Staff were not very responsive to requests and dining staff a little surly. Rooms well appointed and serviced but noise from adjoining rooms carried. View from room not very appealing.

So I stayed 3 nights here. Junior suite with sea view. I really enjoyed the stay. The bathroom was newly redone it seems, and very well cleaned. I say this as the bedroom was a bit outdated in furniture, but that for me didn't take away any of the enjoyment of the stay. Great view of the ocean and in quite a popular spot, as there were weddings and functions on Friday and Saturday. Good buzz, and great location if you want to be by the sea. The town is a 5 minute taxi drive costing around 5 euro. Quick speedy no fuss with taxis, as taxi rank is about 30 steps away. Staff were friendly in reception and that was very helpful, as there are not alot of English speakers around. They were very accommodating. I would like to add the food was average. Nothing special about the food, not alot of effort put in, but for me there is plenty around to eat, and it is all culturally and locally based. The breakfast was sub standard. Not worth it. Room service ends 10.30. And waiting staff seemed a bit uncomfortable, or a bit not interested. But not particularly anything that stands out. Clean, good views, bedroom outdated, bathroom well above standard, food is a no-go. So I give it 4 stars just because I had a really great time heading back to the hotel after visiting attractions and walks around the whole area.

I'm visiting Santander for the first time for SBMT Basketball Tournament, and I must say that this hotel has exceeded my expectations. The place is lovely, situated in a beautiful location, and just a few steps away from the beach.

Stayed for 3 nights at this hotel. What is there not to like. Next to a fantastic beach. Lovely walk into santander. Was mega clean, had a great sea view and was value for money. Staff on front desk were helpful and polite. Would stay here again for sure

This was an unplanned stay for one night so overall it was fine. Easy check in and out, good location for the promenade. Spacious room and bathroom. I asked for a room in a quiet part of the hotel. I was woken by doors slamming endlessly, cleaner next door. Thin walls! Also there is building works next door. I didn't eat there. Plenty of places around. Sardinero Beach was beautiful.

En realidad yo lo que quiero hablar es del restaurante ,al que siempre vamos durante nuestras estancias en Santander. Nos gusta su menú, con productos de calidad, bien elaborados , bien servidos en buena vajilla, cubertería y cristalería. Por 27 euros está vez comimos alubias con pulpo y langostinos, suprema de machote a la calabresa y tarta de queso casera y crema de limón. Con vino blanco DOC Rueda. Incluye café. Por supuesto excelente atención por parte del personal. Entresemana y temporada baja no creo que haya problema, quizá en fines de semana y festivos conviene reservar. Cómo siempre, repetiremos en nuestra próxima visita a Santander.
