Clean and comfortable hotel for a one night's stay. It's a very small hotel without reception past 9pm. Everything was great with the room and I really appreciated the water and snacks available without charge. The only thing I found strange was that they were reluctant to let me in at any point before 3pm, I was waiting in the lobby at 230 and it seemed that only once the clock struck 3 would I be allowed in. I had an activity that afternoon and wasn't able to get in for the first time till 8. If they had better communicated why it was unavailable I would have understood but it seemed to me that they were on a power trip.

Staff were very helpful in telling us about the area or booking a table or telling the (pre-arranged) taxi driver where to find us! Walkable from many good eating places - we liked Sukura and the Pizza place just down the street. Very quiet and nice rooms.

The people at the front desk (Isabel & George especially) were very helpful in all things. They were eager to help and had plenty of suggestions for places to eat and things to see. I can't wait to stay here again!

Loved our stay …
We loved both Santander and El Balcón-our room was excellent, clean and very comfortable with a small balcony overlooking the city and the bay. George (Jorge?) was brilliant, a warm welcome and loads of information about the local area, where to go and what places to eat in. Our favourite was Casa Lita the tapas bar on the front that we visited twice on our short trip. The hotel is expanding into the next building and so we hope to return next year and stay again in the new expanded El Balcón de la Bahía Suites! Thank you again George, and all staff, for your friendly and professional help and we hope to see you again next year.

Propiedad nueva y con buena ubicación. Disponen de parking pero nosotros conseguimos aparcar en la calle. Respecto a las camas, son pequeñas, pero pasamos una noche con lo cual no fue un mal mayor. El desayuno, tuvimos las mala suerte de que falló el proveedor de pan con lo que el desayuno se quedó corto, al menos para nosotros que desayunamos salado.
