Pros:

Hotel is located right next to Sardinero beach and it has excellent bus connections to city centre. Staff were very polite and helpful and breakfast was excellent. Room was spacious, clean and overall good value for money.

Cons:

I booked a room with a sea view, which according to room description and photos should have a terrace. In reality the room had a sea view but no terrace at all.

Habitación preciosa en localización ideal pero algunos detalles decepcionantes para un 4 estrellas
Pros:

La localización. Me hicieron un upgrade de habitación y me tocó una habitación de estética espectacular.

Cons:

El teléfono de la habitación no funcionaba para llamar a recepción. El servicio de habitaciones fue un poco decepcionante (18 euros para unos huevos fritos con jamón y patatas…..y que las patatas sean congeladas). Que no ofrezcan agua de cortesía….

Una habitación al mar
Pros:

Su ubicación, al pie de la Primera Playa del Sardinero, con vistas al mar desde la habitación ( si pides ese tipo de habitación, claro) y con un acceso privilegiado al transporte público de la ciudad (desde el hotel y a escasos 50 metros de la parada del autobús puedes coger un sinfín de líneas que te conducen al centro de la ciudad en un tiempo no superior a 10 minutos). Una estancia muy placentera

Cons:

No hicimos uso de otros servicios salvo el alojamiento y, por tanto, no puedo valorarlos.

Overall, fantastic for the views and service.
Pros:

Dorma Sardinero Santander was a fantastic beachfront stay. The floor-to-ceiling windows and the beach views were stunning. Staff were friendly and helpful, parking was easy 200m away, and the shower had excellent pressure. Breakfast selection was good with a nice champagne mimosa touch. The bathroom was spacious with great lighting.

Cons:

Only downsides: the main room was too dim and the Wi-Fi was mediocre.
