10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location. Walkable to very nice restaurants and tapas bars. Super helpful staff. It looks like the property was newly renovated so everything was in great condition. Super comfortable beds. Easy access. We would definitely stay there again!"

Ibis Styles Santander

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great place to stay, I am not used to staying in 3 star properties, normally 4 or 5 star. Staff are fantastic and friendly. The 24 hr cafe next to reception is a God send. Room is spotless, basic, and the beds are extemely comfortable. Tv and wifi are perfect. Buffet breakfast is good. The prices are exceptionally good for the food and drinks. I was pleasantly surprised. Literally 5.minutes in a taxi to the airport and 4 minutes to a central shopping center. The Marina restaurants also minutes away. Would definately recommend this hotel. Loved staying here. Great ambience, very friendly place to stay."
