Excellent stay at the hotel - very good location and beautiful sea views over marina. Safe helpful and friendly - made the stay personal and special. Lovely breakfast and rooms tastefully decorated. Would stay again!
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.
Perfect location looking out over the marina but make sure you have a sea view to enjoy it. Staff members were excellent especially the lovely gentleman who did the breakfast service.
Lovely room tatsefully decorated and excellent bathroom with an amazing shower. Staff were very welcoming and helpful. Great location for exploring Santander and would certainly stay here again.
I love this hotel. I chose it especially for the views of the bay, the boats, and the mountain. The staff is friendly and ever-helpful. There is an on-site restaurant with amazing food and a bar in the lobby where you can meet up with friends before going out. I will definitely stay here again.
Excellent hospitality and very service minded. We had a great stay. Small hotel located on the boulevard of Santander. Great location for beach, sightseeing and dining in the environment. Parking garage service entrance in front of the hotel.
I’ve stayed in other Vincci hotels and this was just as good as the others. Love the decor of the rooms and hotel. Hotel staff were nice and helpful.
Seaview rooms are worth it.
Perfectly located for amazing food, scenery.
We only spent a night here but will definitely stay here when we return.
Stayed in the hotel for two days mid-September during family trip to north of Spain. Hotel is located within a few minutes from old town still close to very good restaurants. We spend a few hours with a drink in the hand just watching the waterfront view from our window! Parking is external but is very convenient and has an elevator directly into the hotel - better than some hotel parking I've seen. Very attentive stuff, we got a welcome gift that we appreciated very much! Room cleaning was done really well and thorough. Overall - exceptional experience and will not hesitate to book Vincci Puertochico hotel if I end up in Santander one more time!
This is the 3rd time we have stayed here.
It’s perfectly located for enjoying Santander.
Rooms are nicely decorated and clean. Staff are always super helpful.
We are in love with Santander so I have no doubt we will stay again
The reception and housecleaning were very serviceminded! Our room was nice and comfortable but I wonder a little about the interior decorators choice of wallpaper and lamp choice...

This was not my usual Santander hotel, but it was a pleasant surprise. The room was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was a good size. And, although the hotel does not boast a restaurant, there is a bar with a good menu as well as breakfast. The staff were nice and it was a good, overall experience.
I am not sure where this hotel got 4 stars it really is a 3 star at the most reminded me of my working days and using Holiday inn's around the country
Room was quite small and two very uncomfortable chairs to sit on, the breakfast was ok we did give it a miss on a couple of mornings, frankfurters and congealed egg was not nice to see, coffee was no better
The staff were nice so give them credit there.
