Hotel Vincci Puertochico

10/10 Excellent

"I love this hotel we have stayed here lots of time"

Hotel Bemón Playa

10/10 Excellent

"Tucked out of the way, Hotel Playa Bemón became a refuge for me from the hurly burly of both Santander City and the more conspicuous hotels in Somo. I enjoyed a magnificent two nights of perfect sleep. There was also the business of a delightful 30 minute ferry ride from a cute little slip just a few minutes walk from the Santander bus depot. All of this just totally enchanting. In the evening glorious sunsets from the beach at Somo, overlooking the bay and Santander. The Hotel staff was friendly, helpful and efficient. No complaints of any kind, really. On both mornings of my two-day stay I ambled over to the Somo beach and found surfers galore--there was an international surf meet going on--and delighted in watching them ply their skills on the waves. "catch a wave and you're sitting on top of the world" the Beach Boys sang back in the early 1960's. True to form here. I also enjoyed a fantastic dinner in one of the sophisticated eateries in the small town of Somo. Fresh seafood, good wine, excellent service. I highly recommend the experience of visiting Somo and staying at the Hotel Playa Bemón."

Hotel Boutique Las Brisas

8/10 Good

"The homely design is very attractive and makes you feel connected. Unfortunately we had a room on the second floor and there was no elevator. When we arrived we were helped upstairs, but when leaving no personel was present. The design of the room was charming but the space crampy, feeling crowded, small, and restricted. The queensize bed stood with one side against the wall and for the person sleeping at that side it was quite an effort to get out quickly. Also the bathroom was crampy. The part of town it was located in reminded us of the Cote d'Azur in France, the beach close by. Transfer to the city center was done with TUS (transporte Municipal de Santander)."

Estudios Aranzazu

10/10 Excellent

"All wonderful for the price. The staff were so friendly. Checkin was great and loved that the key was on your phone. The normal beds had a nice firm mattress, the window had great blinds that kept light out. Lots of space in wardrobes. Shower pressure was great (shower curtain not so great at keeping water out the bathroom). Towels provide along with small toiletries such as mini soap blocks and single use bodywash and shapoo in one, Had a TV and mini kitchenette. Good lighting in the room.with bedside tables and lights. Lots of charge points too. We were in the 5th floor with 1 quick lifts availble. Area was great, a coffee and bakery shop less than a minute away, along with two bars that were very cheap. Its around 30 minutes to the harbour and 15 minutes to closest set of resturants. The area is pretty flat with no major hills. The only niggle which we didn't raise with the hotel was that the additional bed in our triple room was very loud when ever you moved."
