Safety Guidance
The hotel conforms to all local standards, which does not require fire doors that self-close. Therefore groups are advised, for additional security, to ensure doors are shut at night. Group leaders are advised to consider this in their risk assessments/group management plan and ensure appropriate control measures are put in place.


Security Deposit
A security deposit is payable on arrival. The amount is €6 per person and can only be paid in cash. This amount is refundable at the end of your stay provided there has been no damage to the areas occupied by the group. To avoid misunderstanding, we recommend all group leaders undertake an inspection of all rooms with the hotelier on arrival.

Concert Assistant
Your Concert Assistant will meet you at your venues, take care of concert organisation and any issues which may arise, so that you and your group can concentrate solely on preparing for your performance.
NST Destination Manager
Our Cantabria City Manager, Pablo, or a member of his team will meet you on arrival, assist you with hotel check-in, advise you on points of interest and public transport and provide 24-hour emergency assistance.
