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

Great location, good staff. It was a bit noisy at night, and the bed was not the most comfortable, and the shower went from hot to cold, and back again. But it was reasonable for the cost.

It's a muffin!
The Hostal is centrally situated, across the street from the city Hall. The reception is at the 3rd floor, rooms from 3rd to 5th. It is outdated, the furniture and the floor în the room, the tiles in the bathroom are old and in obvious sufferance; the shower in 503 is leaking. The common spaces received a face lift, so the first impression is positive (before entering the room). It is overpriced, I payed 90 euros for one night (17/18 sept), including breakfast; maybe because of the film festival running these days (?). Anyway, what made me furious happened next day, în the morning, at breakfast, when I noticed that ALL THE MUFFINS WERE 2 WEEKS EXPIRED . The breakfast was very poor and badly served ( slow, waiting minutes for a new small plate of cheese or ham or yoghurt, because the person who serves was handling also the reception and preparing a buffet breakfast is not one of his talents), the tea/ coffee cups are white outside and beige inside, but...it's a Hostal, not a hotel. All the other tourists were seniors, needing glasses to read anything, so the staff member was surprised to be asked " what is this"? And he answered " this is a muffin"! Understanding that a better answer is expected, he said " it's a mistake". Maybe the guy just arranged on the table what another one prepared, but serving EXPIRED food is inacceptabie, no matter what! It's no mistake, this is the "Modus operandi" of this Hostal. Stat away from this fraud!

Centrally located Hostal.
Stayed here for one night after walking a section of the Camino from Leon to O'Cebreiro. Very Central location in Santander. Close to bus station, shops & 25 mins walk to beach. Very friendly helpful staff. Clean ensuite rooms. Breakfast available if wanted. Lift from ground floor. Hostal reception on third floor. Would definitely stay again if in Santander.

Basic, but excellent value for a short city centre stay. Superb position around 8 minute walk to bus station. Bars and restaurants in close proximity. Tip, use the lift. Reception is on 3 floor but it is actually 5th floor! Breakfast is minimal self service. My only real gripe, and it's a minor one, was that there was no shampoo/conditioner in the bathroom. As I was only travelling light it would hace been a nice to have.

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.
