Hotel Vincci Puertochico
I didn’t take anything from the bar this visit due to time restraints, but in other occasions the bar and bar service was excellent. The room had an amazing view of Puertochico and Peña Carbaga across the bay. This is my third visit here and I most definitely will visit here again.

NH Ciudad de Santander
We stayed just one night prior to getting the ferry back to England. We had our dogs with us and the hotel catered very well for them. We didn't have breakfast or dinner in the hotel, but there were plenty of choices for both within a short walk of the hotel.
