Great hotel

This hotel is in a quiet area just a short walk from the many shops, bars and restaurants in the old town and the seafront. Our room was large with a very comfortable bed and was very clean. The staff were helpful and friendly, the breakfast was fresh and plentiful with great coffee. I would definitely stay again.

Stylish Santander stay with secure parking

A very warm welcome at the ArtHotel when we arrived from the ferry - we’d requested a parking garage space for our bike and reception could not have been more helpful with advice about the locality and a town map. Our room was modern and very comfortable, and breakfast was excellent in terms of choice and also freshness & hygiene. We will definitely stay again. We loved the quirky modern art styling throughout the hotel and were delighted to meet Manolo, the hotel cat.

Good location for amenities and, excellent staff.

We stayed here on the last night of our trip before catching ferry. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Hotel was nice, close to town/bars/restaurants but immediate surroundings of hotel were residential flats and the hotel was definitely out of place in its surroundings. Very glad there was secure parking (for which there was no additional charge 👍) . Only negative about the actual hotel itself was no fridge in the room.

A view of Hotel Art.

The hotel was in a residential area so near to restaurants, bars and the shopping centre. It is a small hotel but when you walk through the main door you feel you are in a different country. The decor was amazing. Car parking needs to be reserved as cars need to go into a narrow lift to the underground carpark. Plenty of choice for breakfast. No bar or restaurant.

Friendly staff, very spacious room, comfortable bed, good shower room. A few ‘teething troubles’ - one of the sockets providing power to the coffee pod machine not fixed to the wall, toilet roll had been wet and left to dry out - not acceptable. Coffee pod machine is a waste of time! Parking right outside door of hotel was great, easy downhill walk through little streets to main area. Very nice breakfast. Convenient for 1 night stay before catching ferry.

Other than the smell of stagnating water in the bathroom and a slow-to-drain sink, the room and bathroom were very nice. Good shower with excellent water pressure. It was tough to get to the right temperature to sleep as the duvet was too warm for the room temperature. The staff was absolutely lovely.

The hotel seems to have seen better days. The base in the shower was coming off the wall and had mold behind it. There were a few broken things in the room (e.g., the face plate came off the outlets in the bathroom when unpluggin the hair drier). The room had a large balcony which looked out over the bay but the furniture could have done with a wipe down. The garage is undergound and accessed with a car lift which was not for the faint of heart. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the bed was comfortable but the hotel could do with some maintenance.
