What guests think

Across reviews, travellers highlight Hotel Chiqui for its stunning seafront setting, friendly staff, and an infinity pool, while noting the location is a bus or walk from central Santander and that it suits ferry stopovers.

Rooms are generally comfortable, many with balconies and sea views, though some are small or have limited views, noise can travel through thin walls, and in‑room kettles are not standard. Cleanliness earns frequent praise and breakfast is often rated very good, though a few mention dated or poorly maintained bathrooms, a sterile breakfast room or cold items, and limited vegetarian options. Expect a scenic, relaxed beach hotel with friendly service and a few practical trade‑offs.

Great location and superb view of the Bay of Santander from the sea view rooms. Interior looking a bit untidy in places and breakfast room wasn’t great. Deposits needed for everything like pool towels, in room safe etc etc.

The hotel has a lovely infinity pool overlooking the sea, it lacks a pool bar area as there is nowhere to get a drink when you are sunbathing. Service in the evening for drinks was a bit slow but the staff are pleasant & it’s good value for money. Didn’t have breakfast or dinner but ate at a locally instead. Excellent value for money.

We arrived and the WC was literally dirty, they had to come and clean it. No soundproof between rooms, we could listen next door cell phone volume vibrating every 20min throughout the entire night. We payed for ocean view and we got top roof view and a glance of the beach. Do not waist your money in this hotel.

Our ferry was postponed due to weather so we had an unexpected night in Santander. What a silver lining this turned out to be! Hotel Chiqui’s location is spot on, improved only by the excellent service we received from the very helpful staff - a huge shout out to Jeimy and Cristina in particular who were both lovely. All of the hotel’s rooms face the sea - we had booked a basic room, but were upgraded to one with a balcony. The rooms were clean and well-appointed, everything you need for a good stay. The breakfast, at 15€, was amazing. There was plenty of choice and it was good quality. I’d absolutely recommend this hotel and we would definitely stay there again next time we’re in Santander.

Location

Beachfront setting with panoramic sea views is a major draw, ideal for coastal walks and handy for ferry travellers, with buses nearby. Several note it’s a fair distance from the city center.

Super location and exceptional sea views. Would definitely stay again as the position of the hotel worked well for us. Contemporary feel on check in, welcome was ok and check in efficient. We would not book parking again as plenty of safe street parking available. The breakfast was ok … a selection of hot and cold items but the room was sterile with little atmosphere and tables not cleared efficiently. Biggest disappointment was the hotel restaurant .. zero atmosphere and food arrived far too quickly from ordering to have been freshly prepared. Phenomenal sunrise from sea view rooms and super flat promenade to wander with easy access to the beach.
