Hotel Chiqui, Santander Overview
Hotel Chiqui is a 3-star hotel in Santander, Spain. Rated 8.8 out of 10 based on 5,559 guest reviews.
Hotel Chiqui is a 3-star, family-friendly base in Santander, Spain, set on Avenida García Lago, 9, an area that suits beach days and easy city access. The hotel’s standout practicalities include air conditioning for warmer afternoons, non-smoking rooms for comfort, and a swimming pool that gives families a simple, on-site option between outings.

For sightseeing, you can reach El Sardinero Beach in about 1 km, and the grand Palacio de la Magdalena is roughly 2 km away for gardens and heritage views. Centro Botín, about 3 km from the property, is a good anchor for art and architecture lovers, especially if you want something different from the shoreline. Guests also mention that the terrace is a pleasant place to slow down after a walk along the coast.
Reviewers traveling with children often highlight the family rooms and the overall ease of staying here, while couples appreciate the quieter residential feel compared with busier central streets. If you’re visiting for a mix of beach time and cultural stops, this is a straightforward choice: you’re close enough to walk to the coast, yet the hotel still feels like a place to recharge. Check-in runs from 2:00 PM to midnight, and check-out is at 12:00 PM, which helps with flexible day plans.
