Hotel Hoyuela

Lovely hotel and reception. Can tell back in the day it was a luxury hotel as is still frequented by elderly locals. Decor and furnishings were dated but quality. Room upgrade to junior suite for 60 euros for 3 nights was nice. Reception staff were helpful and friendly. Restaurant and bar staff were attentive and friendly. Overall a nice experience and hotel in great location. Thank you.

So I stayed 3 nights here. Junior suite with sea view. I really enjoyed the stay. The bathroom was newly redone it seems, and very well cleaned. I say this as the bedroom was a bit outdated in furniture, but that for me didn't take away any of the enjoyment of the stay. Great view of the ocean and in quite a popular spot, as there were weddings and functions on Friday and Saturday. Good buzz, and great location if you want to be by the sea. The town is a 5 minute taxi drive costing around 5 euro. Quick speedy no fuss with taxis, as taxi rank is about 30 steps away. Staff were friendly in reception and that was very helpful, as there are not alot of English speakers around. They were very accommodating. I would like to add the food was average. Nothing special about the food, not alot of effort put in, but for me there is plenty around to eat, and it is all culturally and locally based. The breakfast was sub standard. Not worth it. Room service ends 10.30. And waiting staff seemed a bit uncomfortable, or a bit not interested. But not particularly anything that stands out. Clean, good views, bedroom outdated, bathroom well above standard, food is a no-go. So I give it 4 stars just because I had a really great time heading back to the hotel after visiting attractions and walks around the whole area.

Stayed for 3 nights at this hotel. What is there not to like. Next to a fantastic beach. Lovely walk into santander. Was mega clean, had a great sea view and was value for money. Staff on front desk were helpful and polite. Would stay here again for sure
