Hotels Santander and Bilbao
Just wondered if anyone can suggest hotels in either city please. I will be taking the ferry over from the UK.
Budget or a lower cost option would be good as it will be just for one night maybe two max . Near to ferry terminal also. Thanks. |

Re: Hotels Santander and Bilbao
When we returned for 9 weeks to the UK back in June, we booked into the Hotel San Jorge, Santurtzi, Bilbao. The hotel is about 8 minutes drive from the ferry terminal. We chose this hotel, because the ferry left early in the morning and we did not want to drive through the night all the way from near Jaén.
It was an okay hotel.....has it's own restaurant and bar. It has an underground garage so the car was very secure.. The only downside was the our bed was very hard. |
Re: Hotels Santander and Bilbao
Thanks to you both - I can just get some ideas and then decide what is best.

Re: Hotels Santander and Bilbao
We are hopeful of going back on the 31st of October from Santander and with our dogs in a dog friendly cabin.
Any thoughts please as to hotels in Santander - and I estimate seven hours drive from Javea to the port? best wishes |

They mostly close at night and theres one auto service that we found for credit card payment. You go off the main road to some of the services that are advertised and find them to be just a local garage which is closed up. It's mainly duall carriageway via Zaragoza so it's an easy drive If you travel at night to catch the morning ferry then you dont really need a hotel. We gauged it so we arrived around 9-10 am and then were able to just hop straight on the ferry |
Re: Hotels Santander and Bilbao
Thanks as to service stations near Zaragoza know what you mean! Also the remote prison is up there which tells you a lot.
I am informed that it is one of the most under populated regions in Europe? thanks once more |

We stayed at the Hotel Bahia in Santander last week. Perhaps not in the budget bracket but very comfortable and convenient. It is right opposite the ferry terminal - we found ourselves looking over to the very cabin we'd just arrived in when checking out the view! It also has its own secure car park.
I just think after travelling to the ferry terminal in the Uk then 20 some hours over a hotel real close to the ferry would be good. I can then plan ahead. I have seen on line the rail journey Vigo in Spain to Portugal or via Madrid. |
Re: Hotels Santander and Bilbao
Try the "formula one" if it's just for a stopover in Bilbao. Cheap and clean.

Thanks now no pet friendly cabins available so the long hike through Spain and France.
