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.

Simple room but I expected that. Staff were very happy to help. It’s called a ‘hostal ’ but it is actually a budget hotel with your own room and bathroom room. Hotel is really close to shops, the bus station and attractions.

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.

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.

En general muy bien ubicado, él encargado de la recepción de noche muy amable y atento, la camarista de igual manera, pero la chica de la recepción por la mañana tiene él don de convertir una buena experiencia en una muy desagradable. Llegué a las 3 am por trabajo y estando por salir de una manera muy prepotente, grosera y sin la más minima empatiá a las 12.05 tocó la puerta a golpes, no pidiéndome que me retirara sino diciendome de muy malas formas ( podrán checar las cámaras). qué el "check out" era a las 12, salí a las 12.08 eso es cierto, bastante molesto entregué la tarjeta y supongo dandose cuenta del error cometido trató de minimizarlo y que pasara desapercibida su grosería. Hay maneras de pedir las cosas, yo no tengo porque pasar una mañana de malas apurado y pasar un muy mal sabor de boca porqué literalemente esta chica amaneció enojada con mucho trabajo o no literalmente me corrió. En la forma está el fondo! Una pena como Mexicano, elegí él lugar para unas horas pues pensando en apoyar a una connacional, en lo personal no regresaría, mi destino era Bilbao, quise detenerme para ver a mi hijo universitario y pasar la mañana con él y nada hay peor que te arruienen la mañana.

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.
