Bahia Hotel

We recently stayed for 5 days at this hotel, we found it to be a good choice well located for the centre , bus and train station.|We had a room overlooking the Cathedral which was very quiet and comfortable with everything that we needed.|We had the menu of the day one evening in the restaurant which we felt was reasonable value at 28 Euro PP for a three course meal with a bottle of wine and water etc.|We only had breakfast one morning because the buffet offer was so nice with plenty of choice and encouraged me too eat too many pastries ( Greedy ) !|We found all the staff in the hotel reception, cafeteria and restaurant to be professional, helpful and pleasant.|If we visit Santander again we would definitely stay at this hotel again.

A perfectly-located hotel for the ferry to the UK. Charming and slightly old-fashioned, it is nevertheless very comfortable and spotlessly clean. If paying for a room with a view, you have a great vista of the bay. There is a cafeteria with snacks (as well as a more formal restaurant). The breakfast is OK. Parking access is via a lift at the side of the hotel - and after pressing the intercom button, you are directed to a specific numbered place. All very convenient.

Great choice for a short break. A little pricey but super rooms, nice views and excellent location. The cafe/ bar was great and well priced. Staff very friendly and efficient. Would highly recommend-especially if you can get a deal

This is a lovely hotel in a fantastic location in central Santander, directly opposite the Cathedral. It has secure underground parking at an additional cost. |The room was lovely and comfortable as well as spacious with air con. |However ! Soon after arrival we went to the restaurant for lunch, we waiter for 7 or 8 minutes while numerous staff passed us by, there were tables available. Eventually after being sat at a table we waited a further 10 minutes and no one brought us a menu or took a drinks order. We left ! This is not typical of a Spanish welcome , |We ended up having room service as we were tired after a long journey there. |I noticed my pillow case was dirty, so got the spare from the wardrobe - also dirty. This was replaced promptly by housekeeping. |After returning to the hotel from a meal out we could not get a glass of wine - bar - cerrado- we thought that was strange in Spain where everything happens late. |In all a lovely hotel to look at, but perhaps better training g in customer service for staff. Bill was @ 600 euros for 2 nights, 1 snack for 2 people a wine . Not our best experience as regular travellers in Spain - what a shame to end on that experience

The Bahia Hotel is in a great central position, located as its name suggests on the seafront. We had to change rooms at check-in, which was handled quickly and professionally. The room was spacious and comfortable with a view of the bay. A lift takes you and your car to the cramped car park. The breakfast (€16,50) was adequate, but if you come later be prepared to find a reduced offer. As usual in these large places, they have ONE working coffee machine for the whole breakfast room, and that of course works at a snail's pace. I tried one day to get a late breakfast here but it was impossible. They employ the world's rudest waiters who simply shout in Spanish and walk away. As there was also no menu of any sort, I could not point to order. A complete disaster. These places rarely fail on hardware, it's nearly always the software. The Cafeteria staff are in urgent need of customer service training and an explanation of where their wages come from.

We were really impressed with this hotel, especially considering the reasonable price we paid. Our room was an excellent size, and very clean. Location wise, the hotel is opposite from the Brittany Ferries terminal, which was ideal for us, and is also close to the city centre and railway station. The breakfast was mainly continental, but also had some eggs and a small amount of other hot food, and there were plenty of seats. Also relevant to this trip was the fact that the hotel had a backup generator, which meant that power was maintained during the nationwide power outage; this was very much appreciated! I would very much recommend this hotel.

Great location. There were no parking places for our car. We had to go to public parking which no one helped us locate. The girls at the desk could not help us. There’s very little amenities in the bathroom. No help with the suitcases unless we asked nothing in the room refrigerator also. Cigarette butts all over the lobby floor. Haven’t eaten here yet. I would not recommend this hotel

Great Location and Service, Minor Room Suggestion The hotel is in a great location—within walking distance to restaurants and shops. There’s also a playground next to the hotel, which is a big plus for parents. The property is very clean, and the customer service is excellent. Parking is another highlight—spacious and well-organized. My only suggestion would be to offer king-size beds, as the current queen beds felt a bit small and not as comfortable.
