    The bar area wasn’t very comfortable for a solar traveller to relax in. Old fashion Spanish style bar with hard seating.

    The receptionist / bar tender was very friendly. The hotel bedroom was comfy and clean. Room was large.

    Room was basic - no facilities for making your own coffee or tea. But it was perfect for what we wanted, which was a hotel close to the ferry port for an overnight stay. There was not street noise, but there seemed to be banging - this coild have been something to do with the gym - but this is only an assumption.

    Bathroom needs some updating. Would be very helpful if there was the ability to make drinks in the room, i.e., kettle, crockery and small fridge.

    Beds were extremely comfortable, the bath was deep and the water very hot. The staff were super helpful and friendly.

    Convenient location for us to stop and rest at during our long travel itinerary. We needed to find somewhere to stop at in that area.

    Welcoming and accommodating especially important because we were travelling with pets.

    When we arrived there was no food available, as they had a large party in. It would have been nice to have been informed beforehand. Breakfast was also taken over by school group. There was only one restaurant within walking distance.

    Convenient for ferry crossing and we could take our dog

    Lots of noise from the gym which is open until 12 midnight and lots of male gym goers hanging around which is intimidating. No parking due to gym members parking in the car park.

    The property was clean and dog friendly.

    There is a small downside and that is that you can hear the noise from the gym, most of the time its not too bad, but on the odd occasion there is very loud music. Although there is a fairly good sized car par, parking can be a problem at times when the gym is busy.

    The staff are all very pleasant and some of them speak really good english, which helps if you have a problem. We have never bothered with the breakfast, but the small bar does coffee and snacks.

    Sadly, the place has become tired and in need of decorating and flooring. It is a shame because all the staff work so hard, but the overall impression isn't good. Worn or stained carpets on stairs. Marks on the bedroom walls, etc. I have to say, though, that it is very clean, and the bed is very comfortable. Perfect location for buses into the city or beeches.I love the place, but it is probably in need of a bit of TLC.

    As always, the staff were so lovely. Always kind and ready to help. All the staff, including the housekeepers, greeted me with a cheerful greeting each day.

    The noise from the banging of the weights in the gym. Resounding in the bedroom. I could hear arguments in the room next door to me until 1pm, when I finally asked to be moved as I had ferry next morning. The extra costs for the dogs is extortionate. I think it should be based on how much mess is left and pay accordingly. My dogs are extremely clean and don't make a mess. To pay so much extra for 2 dog beds which they obviously wouldn't sleep in because they have other dogs smells, seemed a bit of a joke ... on me. I'm a solo traveller so am always getting double whammied for paying for the room then all the extra costs on top....A room is a room. I think children would probably make more mess than my 2 well behaved dogs!!!

    The location to Santander Port is great. Good dog friendly beach just 15 mins drive away. Carrefour and big shops a short 5 minute drive away. Local Patisserie around the corner (Peter & Pan) open 6am until 9pm every day. Food is delicious and so much better than the congealed tapas in the hotel. The hotel has a very busy gym. The gym/spa and hotel share the same reception area. Spa is modest but worth the small cost. You have to wear a swim hat and flip flops. Pool is pretty small.
