Hotels Near Mercado de la Esperanza in Santander

Brand new structure (opened at the end of July 2022) in a suburban area near the busy Santander ring roads. Spacious, colorful and very pleasant common areas, friendly and welcoming staff even if the very young age betrays on occasion the lack of experience. Room not very spacious and rather basic with the idea, as scenic as it is uncomfortable, of the shower in the center of the room and only the toilet in a very small separate space. Going to the bathroom you can experience the same experience as astronauts in a Soyuz. Good soundproofing but occasionally a few sirens are heard. The rest, however, was perfect and the beds were also comfortable. It was difficult to find it despite google: the entrance is in a secondary street where, however, there is no sign; it would be enough to add an indication to signal the entrance. We did three laps (of the ring roads and holy navigator!) Before figuring out where the entrance was. There is also a bus stop just a stone's throw away. Free private parking around and under the structure but I don't know if there is enough space for all guests. Very problematic air conditioning: there are thermostats in the room but they do not work or are not enabled, so the air is managed room x room by a panel at the reception to which we had to ask three times to turn it on, then lower it and finally turn it off x night because noisy and annoying given the small size of the room. Very negative We didn't try the breakfast but all in all it seemed like a good point of reference for a stop & go near the airport where actually there are not many alternatives in Santander while I would not recommend it to anyone visiting the city. Surely the young management has some points for improvement but the structure is of a good standard

Overall this was a great hotel to stay at. The staff are very helpful. They switched rooms for us without missing a beat when we discovered that we only had one double bed instead of two singles (we are not, ahem, small people) and helped us figure out dinner plans. The room is decent - it is showing a bit of wear and tear (chips in the paint and that sort of thing) but it is clean and the beds are comfortable (very firm, which we like, but of course not everybody does). Our only complaint was the wifi - we apparently can only have two devices attached at a time, but even after ‘forgetting’ the network on my phone, I still got an error message saying I had too many devices when I tried to connect my iPad, and my husband’s phone disconnected and would not reconnect after we left the room and came back. (To be fair, we haven’t asked for help with the wifi because we feel like we’ve already been giant pains in the butt with the room switch). Other than the wifi frustration I am very pleased. It is bright, comfortable, and right across the street from the beach. I am looking forward to falling asleep to the sound of the surf.

This was a great little find! We stayed at this hotel on a Wowcher deal and couldn’t be more impressed. It’s everything you need for a couple of nights away. Room was spotless and bed were comfy! The supermarket across the road was perfect for snacks! There are plenty of nice restaurants in the local area to walk too if you don’t want to go into Santander. The sports bar across the road is perfect for an afternoon beer! Easy to get into Santander … we hired a car but also got Taxis in the evening.

What a treat, my husband booked 2 nights here to spoil me after an 8 hour drive across Spain from Alicante province to the ferry from Santander. The hotel is only 15-20 minutes from the ferry so a great stop over for travellers. Receptionists were friendly and helpful, we checked in and then parked underground. The buildings are quite spectacular and everything inside was extremely clean and well maintained. The room was good, bath and shower in the en-suite. Small fridge but no tea/coffee making facilities sadly. The thermal spa pool was wonderful, we booked access along with the accommodation, definitely worth it. There were also many treatments and extras available- we were happy with the pool. 2 nights was perfect, we got to explore Solares, and eat out in a local restaurant. Breakfast at the hotel was perfect - plenty of choice from the buffet and also options to order ‘cooked’ breakfast and omelettes - the coffee machine was the only negative - a pain to use and took a while to work it out, by second day we had it sussed.

The hotel is in a beautiful location in Lierganes, it is simple and functional, not great luxury, but clean and comfortable. The hotel has a very good location, and the hotel has a very good location.

Very nice Hotel ..Good location , 10 -15 minute walk to seafront . Easy parking. Quirky with lots of motor racing memorabilia . Rooms were very comfortable, and ours had a jacuzzi. Breakfast very good ,We were there at same time as a coach trip but breakfast service was very good, with good selection and choice of omelettes. Very nice pool and patio area , if weather is good. Would definitely stay again.
