Hotel Hoyuela

Lovely hotel and reception. Can tell back in the day it was a luxury hotel as is still frequented by elderly locals. Decor and furnishings were dated but quality. Room upgrade to junior suite for 60 euros for 3 nights was nice. Reception staff were helpful and friendly. Restaurant and bar staff were attentive and friendly. Overall a nice experience and hotel in great location. Thank you.

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 I say this as the bedroom was a bit outdated in furniture, but that for me didn't take away any of the enjoyment of the stay.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 Clean, good views, bedroom outdated, bathroom well above standard, food is a no-go.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.

Absolutely fantastic hotel. From the moment we checked in every member of staff were really friendly. The rooms were cleaned and beds made when we returned from our day's out. While we were there there was work going on in the ****** next door but we were never disturbed by any sound. Would definitely recommend staying here

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

Very quiet, and clean with a comfortable bed, but otherwise a tired, dated and slightly depressing hotel. In the middle of August we were charged an absolute fortune which raised our expectations beyond what this dated hotel with its air of faded grandeur could offer, with its ugly old fashioned furniture, stained carpets & musty smells.... Bathroom was fine but nothing special. Our view from the window of the derelict hotel next door and some dead plants on the patio wasn't great. Not a bad place to stay but make sure you get it for a decent rate.

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.

Bell hotel vicinissimo a playa sardinero.Molto elegante all'esterno, camere spaziose e pulite , leggermente datate.Prezzo molto variabile in base alla stagionalità.A disposizioneanche il parcheggio, nei dintorni è possibile trovare in bassa stagione

A Santander abbiamo scelto più che altro per la posizione, che qui è stata veramente molto felice. Poi avevo chiesto il posto auto, con possibilità della ricarica elettrica, ed ho avuto anche questo. La camera era bella ampia e comoda, con un bel letto ampio e bagno persino dotato di Jacuzzi, che non abbiamo però usato perchè ci sembrava piuttosto vetusta. Il realtà tutto l'edificio pare aver avuto tempi splendenti, magari 40-50 anni prima, perchè l’arredo è di quell’epoca anche se tenuto benissimo. Anche gli ospiti del Hotel ci sono sembrati degli habitué, piuttosto attempati. Avrebbe benissimo potuto essere un Hotel per un film da Woody Allen. Unica nota stonata è il Ristorante. Eravamo stanchi e non volevamo sbattacchiarci nel cercare un ristorante (che abbiamo trovato la sera seguente e non lontano). Cena rigorosamente NON PRIMA delle 20.30, salone vuoto fino alle 21, tranne noi, con un silenzio surreale. Pietanze da menù molto poco accattivante, diciamo che per essere in Spagna avrebbe potuto essere meno turistico. Pazienza. Hotel consigliabile per la posizione, non rientrerà tra i nostri desideri per tornarci ma gradevole per stare un paio di giorni a Santander, città molto bella e meritevole essere visitata.
