Overall Ratings & Reviews Hotel Silken Rio Santander

A pleasant enough stay at the Rio Silken, a 5 night break mainly as a base for the football in Bilbao! Room was fine, bed was comfy for good nights rest, and the staff more than helpful and responsive.

Towels were changed almost daily. One issue we had was that tea and coffee were not automatically replenished. This had to be paid for. Not 4 star service. Hotel very well situated right in the front close to all the bars and restaurants and beaches of El Sardinero

All of the staff were kind and helpful our room was very comfortable with amazing view The coffee shop also had lots of nice snacks to choose from

Lovely comfortable and close to all amenities

Fantastic place to stay. Very clean and welcoming with all modern amenities.. I got a free upgrade to a seaview which was amazing. I cant wait to come and stay again.

Nice family hotel. Both 2 Rolls are connected

Beautiful view of the sea and beach

Great hotel over looking the beach. Buses outside to go to city centre in 5 mins. Would stay again.

Superb value. Super clean and modern. Very friendly and helpful staff. Close to good resaurants and bars. Plus adjacent to the.beach. We'll be back.

The greatest asset is the staff. They were endlessly helpful to me in working out all sorts of issues, especially about train travel in Spain. One negative for me: the sharply sloping ceilings in my room are hazardous to a tall person. I hit my head hard several times during my stay. Next time I would like a different style of room if they are available.

Aparcamiento muy fácil y ubicación inmejorable

Ladies at the front desk were very nice but the bed was not well made also. Bathroom not clean mold around shower doors

Great hotel, and location. Right in front of the Sardinero beach and city center....Great experience.

Beautiful property at a great location. Many great restaurants nearby Easy public transportation to the center of town Only complaint is the walls were a bit thin But overall, excellent

Wonderful to be overlooking the beach & be so close to restaurants & bars.

The property was nice, clean, inviting, and peaceful. The staff was very informative and helpful. Enjoyed our stay and totally recommend it!

Excellent hotel with an amazing view

It was a fabulous hotel for us. We enjoyed every minute of our 3 days stay. Great location.. right In the seafront. Several beaches and parks in the vicinity. There are bus stops a few yards away from front door and frequent buses to city which is only 10 minutes ride away. We didn’t use the café, bar or restaurant in the hotel only because we like little walk before and after meals. There are numerous cafes, small and large restaurants that serve great food, tapas and drink just a few minutes walk away. Some of them have live music and some have beautiful ambiance. The hotel itself is clean and the room very cozy with nice pillows and bed. The hotel staff were nice and friendly, particularly the lady who was in the front desk during our stay. She was very pleasant, polite and kind… always helpful with a smile whether it is giving us charging cable for phone or getting ironing board in the room promptly or explaining about the hybrid bikes available for hire from the hotel. The other members of staff we interacted were very pleasant as well. We have been to most other parts of Spain several times in the past 15 years. It was our first time in Northern Spain and Santander exceeded our expectations in many ways. Certainly staying in this hotel contributed significantly to a great holiday. Suma and Thomas

We got upgraded to beach view which was an amazing view. Reception staff were excellent. The restaurant was unfortunately closed so we ate on the bar, food was good but server was very abrupt.

Stayed for 2 nights. Return visit to Santander in two months. Decided to stay near the beach. Room was good. We had a sea view. The room was on the main road looking on to the bay. Was a little noisy but not late into the night. Breakfast was good. We had breakfast tea which for Spain was very good. Also had Cava at breakfast! There was no outside space at all. Location was excellent.
