The location of this hotel is brilliant, literally a two minute walk from the metro (either Sol or Sevilla) The rooms are immaculate, showers hot and bed comfortable. However, the hotel seemed a little "stuffy", our room was facing an enclosed courtyard and there was little natural light. But - for something in central Madrid, the room was silent! Was... more

I wouldn't disagree entirely with most of the reviews about this hotel - mainly because of the excellent location - but with some provisos. First you do get what you pay for - this is a pretty run down dated place and the room allocated to us was small and dingy and with no natural light. Second, the customer service... more

Our double room (212) with a built-in bathroom was pleasant, clean, quiet and not too small. As the previous reviews have pointed out, Santander is within walking distance of most sights, both the museums and restaurants/bars. The dusty Venecia sherry bar just down the lane is a true gem. more

This hotel was perfect for us. We had a fabulous room with a private balcony . Very clean and a great location for bar hopping. Can imagine it would be a bit noisy on the lower floors. more

We found this hotel on TripAdvisor. We were very pleased. While the staff isn't overwhelmingly friendly they are polite, efficent and helpful. The room was great; I think it had recently been redone. It had high ceilings and tall windows with parquet floors. The double bed was comfortable (not two singles pushed together!) and the other furnishings were new. The... more

Hotel Santander was exactly what we wanted for a short break - cheap, no frills, but very clean and quiet and in a great central location, between Sol and the Prado. We paid 75 Euros per night for a double room with bathroom and stayed 3 nights. Our room was at the back of the building, so was very quiet,... more

Good location, near Plaza Santa Anna and reasonable walking distance from Sol metro station. Great value at 64 Euro for double room with private bath. Small hotel, but clean and we had a comfortable room. Tiny elevator. Hotel has a cozy feel, not much of a lobby. Most front desk staff spoke some english. Our room did not have a... more

The room and location were ok. But the front desk were basically inethical---they quoted one price, then was our luggage was up in the room, they changed the price, and then finally--and worse, without any advance notice they charged the final amount in US dollars to include not only a horrible exchange rate, but also the Visa fee. I've never... more

I'm surprised to find no reviews on the Santander. My sweetheart & I stayed here six nights in Novemebr, 2001. We've been all over Europe but have seldom found value like this. 9-foot ceilings, bedroom area with plenty of storage, living room area, balcony, and a tile bathroom large by any standards, let alone European. Based on the then exchange... more
