This was my fourth time staying in Santander and this was by far the best accommodation I’ve stayed in. The property was so central and Oskar couldn’t have been more accommodating. It was my first time staying somewhere alone and I felt so comfortable.

Suite Home Sardinero offers accommodation in Santander. Only 600 metres from El Sardinero beach and 2.8 km from the city centre.

It was really good Suite, nice and clean. It was not far from the beach and city centre. The didn’t have parking but you can park outside for free. The breakfast was not what expected. I don’t know is that something Spanish or not, but they didn’t had eggs and everything was sweet except coffee it was bitter.

    It was a surprise that it's actually not just a hotel but a room in the private home of the hosts. But if you are aware of that beforehand it's actually a great and cheap place to spend the night. The hosts are very welcoming and generous. I could use everything in the kitchen and they put some fruit and water for me in the room. It's a little bit out of the city center, but there are lots of shops and café's nearby.

    Very welcoming staff gave us a glass of cava, carried bags to the room, and ensured we were familiar with all the facilities. We liked the complimentary breakfast provided in the room, featuring local Cantabrian specialities. The advice they gave us about where to eat was excellent - we found ourselves in places frequented by locals, with good food and fair prices. They make every effort to ensure you have a good stay. Well done - I'd stay there again.

    The room was incredible for the price I paid (34 euro for a double room!) it had great views from the room, the bed was large and comfortable and the bathroom was spotless with a powerful shower. The hotel was perfectly located close to some great 'locals' bars. For the price I paid it exceeded my expectations.
