Warming, kind welcome from all the staff and easy parking. The room was very clean and spacious with a cute balcony! I accidently left a piece of clothing behind, and they were kind enough to send it back to me. Thank you so much for going through all the trouble for us! We had a wonderful stay!

FAQs about hotels in Cantabria

The Colours of Nature

Bordered by the Bay of Biscay to the north, the small Spanish region of Cantabria is known for undulating, lush landscapes which sharply rise to sheer peaks in the south-western Picos de Europa mountain range.

The capital Santander is an important port and has a long promenade lining its sandy beach. The coastline to the west is packed with Cantabria hotels on the beach, some of which are in Comillas. This small town has a number of interesting buildings, including Gaudí’s Capricho. West in the Oyambre National Park is San Vincente de la Barquera. Take to the water for spectacular views of this village, its impressive bridge and the often snow-capped mountains beyond.

At Suances to the east, green cliffs plunge to the sea, while nearby medieval Santillana del Mar is the closest town to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Altamira cave paintings. Another medieval jewel is inland Potes whose cobbled streets and stone bridge over a stream are all in the shade of the Cantabrian mountains. In the east of the region, the rocks at Noja descend into crystal-clear waters, while Laredo’s curving bay ends in a hill that offers lovely views.

Whether you opt for one of the luxury hotels in Cantabria, an apartment or guest house, Booking.com has a great range of choice.

    A lovely hotel on the peninsula. The receptionist explained everything to us in beautiful English which was really appreciated. The hotel was spotless and away from the road. It had its own beach and pool. A perfect place to spend the last night of our holiday. We booked a superior room with terrace, sea view and half board. Really good value. The evening meal was delicious and breakfast had all you could want. We had the most amazing view of the bay. The hotel provides swimming towels.

    It was just perfect. We needed a place that was out of a town to chill between planned events. The bungalows were clean and well fitted out. You have to be really good friends or family as the sound privacy between the bathrooms and bedrooms is as you would expect from bungalow. The location was superb with beautiful beach 500 m away through fields. We were welcomed by a very friendly family team. It was really quiet and the whole site was well managed. I'd go again.

    Beautiful beaches but you can see why this place hasn’t taken off as a tourist resort. No one speaks English. It’s not child friendly. Nothing opens until 9. Then everywhere that serves food closes at 3/4pm, then opens at 8pm again. It’s no good with young children.

    Beautiful historic buildings on the historic pilgrim way. Dining out was on the expensive side. Three days would have been about right as you can see most of museums within that timeframe. Poor public transport so a car is a must.

    We stayed here because we had a ferry to catch the following day it only took us 30minutes to drive from here to Santander. It was a beautiful town, beautiful views, houses and was a very quiet calm atmosphere. We were glad we picked and booked the hotel we stayed in. We will return next year for our return home from Portugal.

    Castro Urdiales is a beautiful place to visit and stay. The people there are friendly and helpful In bars/cafes/shops etc where staff are plesent and helpful at all times. The area is very clean and welcoming. There are beautiful walks and interesting places to see. It is very easy to get round the area and buses are plentiful. Eating and drinking is in abundance everywhere. The entire town is walker friendly and very beautiful at night when the Cathedral and Castle are lit up. It features a long prom and a short prom with fantastice views over the ocean. 20 minutes drive from Bilboa. 45 minutes drive from Santander.

    We were there at a quiet time - at the height of the tourist season I imagine it could be rather busy. If you enjoy a variety of sea views - beaches and rocky coastlines - then the area is perfect. Also the hinterland is very varied with numerous pretty villages and excellent driving roads.

    Borja, Lorrena, Fernando and Diego (barman - not his real name) were fantastic staff members at Hotel Olimpo, so friendly, welcoming, helpful and fun. Food was amazing, hotel was immaculate with beautiful views. Amazing location, lovely walk across the beach to Noja. Isla is lovely with quirkly little shops and nice walks. I stayed here with my husband and teenage son and all three of us had a fabulous time and look forward to returning. Was great to kick back and slow down from a fast paced life back home to a relaxing break in Isla.

    San Vicente is very Spanish and where the Spanish like to holiday - especially in August - to escape the heat of the cities further south. While the staff in hospitality are generally happy to help, visitors with a good knowledge of Spanish will enjoy it more. Known for its excellent seafood, and local cheeses, it is a feast for the eyes!

    Absolutely great location to stay & explore on a motorbike.

    Absolutely great location to stay & explore on a motorbike. Main thing to remember is to avoid the restaurants in the centre that are over priced with poor service & substandard food & are probably the downside of the entire region. There are an abundance of great cafes, bars & restaurant's all around the back streets & well worth exploring. This really is one picturesque town with allot to offer just take the time to find the gems & avoid the obvious tourist traps.

    Laredo has a lovely old part to the town with a huge number of places to eat and drink. There is also a beautiful Gothic style church with a Guide who speaks English. 1,euro entry. The Comino trail runs along the coast and through the town so is easily accessible. Near to the harbour/marina is a tunnel which runs through the cliff about 200 metres. Free. There are murals on the walls of fish. A trip to Santona by boat is well worth it as it goes out across the bay to see the lighthouse and along the coast to see the old Forts. There is also an excellent natural history museum which looks at the history of the area and the wildlife. Free entry. There is also a footpath where you can walk out to the Forts and lighthouse. The Alsa coach service runs coaches all over Spain and are very reasonable, best to book online. Santander to Laredo direct took 40minutes and cost 22euros for seniors. The coaches have reclining seats, WiFi, toilets. The area is very Spanish with few people speaking English but they are extremely helpful.

    We loved the general 'Feel' of the town, the atmosphere in the streets by day and at night, the generally very high quality of tapas and dinners everywhere we ate, the very genuine sense of spirituality (notably in the attendance and participation of church-goers) and, of course the wonderful buildings, including Gaudi's Capricio.
