Hotels near Playa de La Concha, Santander

We have stayed numerous times at this hotel on our return to the UK by ferry....the hotel is always clean with good twin rooms and ensuite; the rooms may not be the most spacious, but very acceptable for an overnight stay. Very friendly reception staff and car parking both open and closed but under surveillance. Close to some restaurants and bars and a 10 minute walk to the main shops alongside the sea. Pet friendly. Breakfast is good. Charges apply to parking and pets!

The hotel was clean and conveniently located. The parking is free which is unusual in northern Spain. The bed and pillows are very comfortable. The best thing about this hotel, however, is the staff. Wally and Eveline are awesome. They were always smiling and so helpful and accommodating. We requested a small fridge for our room and it was delivered immediately and also free. They also froze one of our water bottles so we could use it in our cooler when we traveled on. And their English is excellent. If Management reads this review, you have 2 superior staff people!

Ticks all of the boxes. Location, secure underground car park on site, reasonable rate, very friendly staff, excellent clean and comfortable rooms. We didn’t look at so many other options when looking for an overnight stay (we were on our last night of 17 in our camper van). Silken Coliseum jumped out, looked like it was what we needed… and it was! We had lunch in the restaurant as it was a little too hot to go for a wander. It was excellent, as was the hostess. Bit of a language barrier as our Spanish is limited. But the food was as good as we had eaten all trip.

Elegí el hotel Faranda Alisas de Santander porque en las imágenes parecia un buen hotel acompañado de un precio adecuado. Al llegar al Check ing a la 13:00 nos dice el empleado Jorge que hasta las 14:30 no podemos entrar porque estaban a falta de personal de limpieza. A las 14:30 nos hace entrega de la tarjeta para acceder a la habitación, pero al llegar nos damos cuenta de que no era una tarjeta la que abre la puerta sino que una llave bajamos para solicitar aquella llave y con tal desaire me dice que tengo que esperar ya que esta atendiendo a un cliente, después de un rato me hace entrega de la llave de la puerta. Al entrar a la habitación si se le puede llamar así porque era un zulo con una única ventana que daba a un patio el cual estaba repleto de heces de palomas. Os podéis imaginar nuestra sorpresa al ver tal asquerosidad. Bajo a decirle que eso no era lo que habíamos contratado ya que ese lugar no valía 104€ la noche. Nos ofreció otra habitación la cual era totalmente igual la única diferencia es que en esta habitación si tenía una ventana que daba a la calle y por lo menos no te daba la sensación de estar en una cárcel. Por cierto volvió a confundirse en esta última habitación era una tarjeta la que abría la puerta y no una llave. Bajamos para decirle que ya que no nos ofrecía otra solución pues que nos conformábamos con ella. La misma empleada de la limpieza le sugerio que nos podía dar una habitación mejor a lo que Jorge respondió que NO con gran rotundidad y pasotismo, el cual me indigno y por tanto solicite una hoja de reclamación, porque si no te apasiona tu trabajo no te da derecho de ofrecer un trato pésimo a las personas que acuden allí para desconectar porque yo había reservado para pasar una noche increíble con mi pareja, ya que, era su cumpleaños y lo que recibimos fue un mal trato. Las demás empleadas tanto las recepcionistas como las empleadas de limpieza fueron muy educadas y agradables y solo por ellas volveríamos pero mientras siga el empleado quita ilusiones no volveremos a posar ese hotel. Por eso le doy una mala reseña porque personas como Jorge no pueden trabajar cara al público si no eres una persona profesional para realizar bien tu trabajo. No hemos tomado fotos de la primera habitación donde había heces de palomas porque queríamos irnos de allí y encontrar otro hotel pero nos dijo Jorge que no nos devolvía el dinero, por lo que no nos quedó otra opción que pasar la noche allí.

Brand new structure (opened at the end of July 2022) in a suburban area near the busy Santander ring roads. Spacious, colorful and very pleasant common areas, friendly and welcoming staff even if the very young age betrays on occasion the lack of experience. Room not very spacious and rather basic with the idea, as scenic as it is uncomfortable, of the shower in the center of the room and only the toilet in a very small separate space. Going to the bathroom you can experience the same experience as astronauts in a Soyuz. Good soundproofing but occasionally a few sirens are heard. The rest, however, was perfect and the beds were also comfortable. It was difficult to find it despite google: the entrance is in a secondary street where, however, there is no sign; it would be enough to add an indication to signal the entrance. We did three laps (of the ring roads and holy navigator!) Before figuring out where the entrance was. There is also a bus stop just a stone's throw away. Free private parking around and under the structure but I don't know if there is enough space for all guests. Very problematic air conditioning: there are thermostats in the room but they do not work or are not enabled, so the air is managed room x room by a panel at the reception to which we had to ask three times to turn it on, then lower it and finally turn it off x night because noisy and annoying given the small size of the room. Very negative We didn't try the breakfast but all in all it seemed like a good point of reference for a stop & go near the airport where actually there are not many alternatives in Santander while I would not recommend it to anyone visiting the city. Surely the young management has some points for improvement but the structure is of a good standard

This was a great little find! We stayed at this hotel on a Wowcher deal and couldn’t be more impressed. It’s everything you need for a couple of nights away. Room was spotless and bed were comfy! The supermarket across the road was perfect for snacks! There are plenty of nice restaurants in the local area to walk too if you don’t want to go into Santander. The sports bar across the road is perfect for an afternoon beer! Easy to get into Santander … we hired a car but also got Taxis in the evening.

A lovely house in a beautiful setting. Recently converted farmhouse done to a tastefully high standard. Excellent, English-speaking host who could not have been more helpful. A thoroughly enjoyable breakfast after a peaceful night. Memories of the views, cow bells and nearby horses will linger. We were overnight waiting for the ferry from Santander and will return. Local village eateries were well-patronised and the food was good.
