Прекрасный, но дорогой Сантандер
Pros:

Хорошее расположение.

Cons:

Честно говоря, я ожидала чего-то значительно большего. Номер оказался маленький, не протиснуться. Мы брали номер на троих и оплатили прилично больше, чем за двухместный номер. Но 3-я кровать оказалась раскладушкой.
Вид из окна не очень. В холодильнике было 3 бутылки воды, мы думали, что это приветственный напиток. Во многих местах так принято, ставить воду в день приезда гостей. Так как в этом холодильнике ничего кроме воды больше не было, мы и не подумали, что это мини бар. Когда выписывались, прилшось заплатить по 2 евро за каждую пол-литровую бутылку. Парковки можно сказать нет. У отеля 4 места, они всегда заняты. Нас отправили на городскую парковку, с которой у них договор. Очень дорого. Проживание очень дорого.

City is lovely, beaches excellent, would definitely visit again but probably at a different accommodation
Pros:

The location

Cons:

No coffee in the room only tea.
Tv only had limited Spanish channels, was not a smart tv, could not use a fire stick.staff just shrugged when asked why. Very poor for a quite expensive room.

Great location for accessing train and ferry
Pros:

Friendly welcome, bike storage on ground floor with easy access, air conditioning, location near to train station and ferry terminal

Cons:

section of shower screen missing making it impossible to shower without soaking bathroom floor - unfortunately didn’t realise this until taking shower! Water in fridge charged at €2.50 for small bottle - luckily I did spot the sign saying this before opening one, but it could be more prominent.

Mucho más que un 3 estrellas
Pros:

Ubicación perfecta. 3 de los 5 días pudimos aparcar en la puerta por 10€/día. El resto, encontramos al lado en zona azul
Personal amabilísimo y encantador
Habitación bonita y espaciosa. Toallas suaves y mullidas. Colchon cómodo.
Nos ofrecieron desayuno a un coste inferior a la web, de calidad, variedad suficiente. En muy pocos hoteles disponen de zumo natural como este
Enfrente hay un parque infantil y restaurantes muy recomendables

Cons:

Las cortinas son poco opacas, enseguida entra luz
Las puertas de los huespedes vecinos daban bastante portazo
