Good value beside Sardinero beach
Nice location just off Sardinero beach; beside bus stop with connections to Santander centre, or a 25 minute walk into town; supermarkets and some bars and restaurants nearby. Pleasant to walk to Palacio de la Magdalena and Cabo Mayor from here. Building is unremarkable to look at, but apartments are very spacious and cleaned daily; but only a few rooms likely have a nice view. Staff are friendly. It seemed very good value when I was there in mid September 2018.

6/10 Good

Not a resort facility
The amenities in the apartment were abysmal. There was only one warped frying pan and one pot that had so much of the lining pealing I was afraid to use it. No bowls and the coffee cups we small with no handles. There was no coffee pot or way to make hot water. The front desk answered questions but offered no help. The TV played no English channels. Not the kind of apartment that is comfortable for several days. The information also said it had laundry facilities and I even called Hotels.com to confirm and when I arrived they did not. The restaurant was fillies with old men smoking every day. Not inviting to go there for a drink. It smelled bad so if you are sensitive to odd smells, you won’t like it. I think it is an old folks home that has a unit or two available for rent. Location was great, parking on the street was easy, accessible and safe.

Super Sandinero Hotel
Location is superb 5 mins from a great beach and the town centre and the bus to Santander,but the walk in is beautiful .Really helpful staff, excellent value, good facilities ,unfortunately the bed was too firm for us and the shower was a nightmare, both faults which should not put anyone off as the shower may have been repaired by now and the bed is a personal preference.

Good sized family apartments
I stayed at Hotel Don Carlos for a long weekend whilst visiting family. The hotel is situated a minutes walk away from some of Santanders' superb beaches and about a 30 minute walk into the main shopping area. My apartment room contained a small kitchen area with a fridge freezer, microwave and stove, lounge, dining area and balcony. The decor of the rooms was a little simple and the sofa bed could have been more comfortable for sitting on but the bed was most comfortable. On the whole the room was pretty clean but felt like it could do with a refresh. The contential breakfast buffet was well stocked with fresh fruit, cereals, pastries etc. The hotel staff were all very friendly and helpful. There's a small cafe there and restaurant which has a good reputation amongst the locals. Overall I enjoyed my stay at Hotel Don Carlos but my room was probably suited to a family than a solo traveler unless of course you're looking for lots of space.

2/10 Poor

Pesima, empleados groseros, cobros extra absurdos
Pésima experiencia, al llegar nos dicen que la habitación que reservamos con cama king y sofá cama no está disponible y que tenemos que tomar una con 2 individuales y que así es la política del hotel, empleados groseros, te cobran bufete de adulto obligado a menores de 1 año y 2, y si te llevas una mandarina te lo prohíben descortésmente, parking en la zona imposible, o pagas 20€ x dia o caminas 4 cuadras, te cobran x la habitación 30€ extra x día de sorpresa por niño de 2 años y no te ponen ni toallas, ni cama, ni almohada extra diciendo que es por uso de agua y electricidad, en fin.. pésima y desagradable experiencia especialmente por la “directora” de alimentación que además de grosera y desagradable se siente la dueña del hotel y retira el bufete antes de la hora, lo mismo la cafetería que 15 min antes del cierre ya te dan servicio de mala cara.

Un departamento muy amplio y con un muy buen servi
Lo único malo es que está un poco lejos del centro de la ciudad pero a una cuadra pasa un bus que por 1,30 te lleva directitamente al centro. Son unos departamentos muy amplios y cómodos con servicio de cocineta y hasta un balcón, lo mejor es el servicio, te ayudan en todo y Don inmejorables

Hotel Don Carlos
Parfait pour une nuita Santander. On y trouve toutes les commodités ainsi qu’un Stationnement souterrain s’il n’y a pas de place dans la rue. Il y a un bon restaurant sur la meme rue mais il était réservé pour un groupe le soir que nous s y etions.
