Hotel Sol Boutique

It’s generally peaceful, and I slept really well on a comfortable bed with working AC. The hotel is cute, about a 5 minute walk to the center, though the climb back up can be a bit much. There’s a street with moving walkways to make it easier. The rooms are all unique and beautifully done, but mine could use a refresh. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was fine, nothing special, and there are lots of bars and restaurants close by.

We were close to everything without being right in the middle of it, and the shower was great. The only problem was the air conditioning barely worked, so we slept on top of the sheets most of the stay.

We loved the quirky design touches, and the women at reception were warm and welcoming. Our room, Primrose, was bright, roomy, and modern, just right for two nights. The hotel also has a stylish bar and a big outdoor balcony, though the bar wasn't staffed while we were there because demand was low. It's an easy walk downhill to cafes, bars, and central Santander, with escalators for the trip back up. We had a great stay and would recommend this boutique hotel.

The room was lovely, though it could have used some tissues, and the building itself is impressive. The decor and finishing touches are beautifully done. Reception staff greeted us warmly whenever we came and went. The bar was a letdown: nobody was there to serve, there was no draught beer, and wine on the menu was €10, which felt extortionate compared with what a glass costs elsewhere in Santander. The hotel is also in a great location.
