Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
La habitación era extremadamente pequeña, apenas había espacio para moverse. El baño también muy reducido con la puerta llena de moho y sin ventilación. El suelo estaba sucio, lleno de pelos negros. El ascensor no funciono correctamente durante toda la estancia, lo que fue un gran inconveniente. En general, el estado del hostal no se corresponde con lo que esperábamos al reservar después de ver las fotografías de las habitaciones.

Downtown location

The hostel was in the middle of the downtown shopping area. On Sunday there were very few places open where to eat. The weekend I was there was cold and rainy therefore I only had an orange in my room for dinner. Places to eat were not close and I didn't want to walk at night in the area as there were very few people around. The hotel didn't have any heat. The deskclerk told me the cold front had been unexpected and therefore no heat. The room itself was fine otherwise with a private bathroom, closet and TV.

Great value for money. Really nice fellow at reception, waiting for my late arrival in the evening. It's an old building, some areas of the room show that, but bathroom really clean and updated. Other areas are more modernised. Quiet, my room looked to the street, but no noise. I had a great night sleep. When I need to spend a night in Santander, no doubt, I will book it again.

Central location, room with basics, no frills.

Basic night's stay in Santander, very central on one of the main shopping streets and near the town hall. The room was basic and adequate, although no glasses for water in the room. Breakfast was good.

Perfectly fine for what it is.

The hotel is very well located for the bus station, train station and city centre. Pleasant staff throughout and check in was easy. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. Struggled to get hot water either morning and given an old property it's not well sealed from internal noise. For the price, it's good value.

Cheap hotel in city centre

I was looking for a cheap one night stay and this was ok for that purpose. The Reception level appears to have been renovated with a pleasant common room. My room was much older with a small but adequate bathroom. Very good value for a short stay
