Sopravvalutato
Pros:

Posizione ottima per la spiaggia.

Cons:

Stanza piccola. Staff alla reception freddo (nemmeno un benvenuto). Più un business hotel, che un hotel per vacanza, cosa che non ci si aspetta da un hotel a 100 metri da una spiaggia.

Emplacement idéal
Pros:

Idéalement placé à proximité de la plage (50 mètres), il est aisé de se rendre à pied sur la presqu’île de la Magdalena comme au Faro del capo de Mayo.
Grace aux nombreux bus on peut facilement se rendre de la Piazza Italia à la cathédrale (1,30 € le trajet par personne).
Le parking, certes un peu cher (30€/jour), est appréciable car il n’est pas aisé de trouver des places aux alentours notamment au mois d’août.
L’hôtel est très calme )on peut dormir la fenêtre ouverte sans problème), très propre et les chambres sont spacieuses et élégamment décorées

Cons:

Un seul point faible : le prix du parking.
Mais tellement pratique

Cons:

El parking carísimo 30€ día. El Gran Hotel Sardinero 18€ día siendo primera línea de playa y con personal que te aparca el coche. Me parece carísimo 30€ día

Perfect stay
Pros:

Hotel Santemar is huge and you might have to wait a little at check-in or check-out (while some badly-behaved guests don’t have a clue what a queue is) but this was the only downside. The staff is very friendly, the hotel is quiet, clean and very beautiful. I loved my single room which was very comfy and nicely decorated. The bed was fantastic. I paid a decent price as I had booked months ahead. I didn‘t have breakfast. What I really appreciated was the location so close to the beaches and the town centre.

Cons:

Nothing.

Pros:

Très bon petit déjeuné, emplacement idéal, bel immeuble brutaliste.

Cons:

Dommage qu’il n’y ait pas de bar dans le hall de l’immeuble. Ça manque vraiment. La salle de restaurant n’a aucun charme, avec un côté cantine scolaire donnée par ses tables identiques alignées sans aucune séparations ni blanquettes, les parties communes de l’hôtel sont vides ce qui donne un aspect froid et pas confortable. L’aménagement intérieur de l’hôtel est à revoir complètement, je ne recommanderai pas ce hôtel pour cette raison.
