Silken Río Santander

Very friendly staff, some spoke Spanish and English. Gave me tips on the commute, nearby supermarkets as well as cafe's they liked going to. Room was okay. Nice wardrobe with hangers and a mini-fridge. I came here a few hours early from the usual check-in time due to the flight arrival and they had the room ready which was nice to hear. Late check-out time was a bonus and was needed on the last day. Check out was super quick too.

Big cheer for Ruth on reception, who dashed out onto the street and bagged us a free parking space bang outside the hotel. Our room was stunning, the circular one on the fifth floor at the end with panoramic views over the town and the Sardinero beach. Bed was comfortable, bathroom a bit cramped, possibly because of the big towels and bath robes. Shower good, wifi ok.

Great stopover for Ferry terminal. lovely sea view room and very comfortable. Lovely big Tv but unfortunately no channels for us to watch except bbc world news.

Lovely view of the beach. All staff at the hotel were very friendly and a good breakfast. The location was perfect for the beach. Bus stop very close to the hotel to go into the centre of Santander (€1.30) There are some great restaurants and bars near the hotel. The area prides itself for it's excellent food. Cheap flight from Birmingham with Ryan Air which took only 1 hour 40 min and a 25 min taxi journey, great for a long weekend away.

The location is nice, lots of restaurants close by and nearby a nice beach. Rooms are modern and feel inviting. Staff are really nice and willing to help.
