There is no stovetop so I couldn't cook.

The location and the price. Breakfast is included and they serve real breakfast with good coffee.

Breakfast although included, was basic. Tea/coffee and a tortilla but by no means unreasonable given the cost.

The hostel is extremely clean. A curtain on the bunk offered extra privacy and each with their own power point and light. Under bunk storage and a separate locker. Located right next to bus station.

WiFi is very poor which is a shame. Make sure you are equipped with some Spanish to understand and communicate or have Google translate at the ready. Remember you have to adapt to another culture and language.

Clean, comfortable and staff are friendly. They provide you with sheets and blanket as well as keys for under bed storage and a locker. Spare toiletries in the bathroom - maybe left from others previously but useful if you're in a pinch. Location is good - supermrcado, farmicia and kebab shop all in vicinity

The breakfast was nice. Very comfortable room. Available kitchen!

There's a common space but it lacks hostel spirit (or personality) and doesn't look inviting. Couldn't find anyone at the reception, tried to reach them via the phone number that was left at the front desk but still got no answer - had to wait for a while. The man at the bar wasn't any help either moreover made 2 very inappropriate sexist jokes within a minute. The other man at the bar the next morning was extremely nice and helpful as well as the cleaning lady I've met the day before.

The location was great, the bed was comfy, the whole area was clean, and nice breakfast options were available at the bar.

staff don’t speak any english. they suppose you speak spanish but I had difficulties to understand with them. they should hire someone who speaks basic english immediately.

facilities were okay. the bed was also comfy.

Stayed in September 2023

Some basic tea/coffee options in common area could be added for the guests. No proper breakfast like milk, cereals, muffins, bread, jam/butter, juice etc. Breakfast plays an important role if it is being offered with the stay, try to work out on breakfast please.

Comfortable bed space with locker. AC kept the room chill in hot weather. Bathrooms were clean and spacious. Good common area space. Super friendly and helpful hostel staff.

The male staff we encountered were somewhat gruff, and unapproachable, they didn't smile at all. The cost for the rooms is a bit pricey, however Santander does seem to be a pricey city.

The beds, the shower, and bathroom were all clean, and good. The coffee, omelettes, and croissants at breakfast were excellent. The female staff were friendly, and helpful. The hostal is well located.

Stayed in August 2023

Communal areas are not good. Very tatty with 1 sofa or uncomfortable canteen style seating and florescent lights which means it’s not sociable. I sometimes sat outside the adjoining restaurant but the staff weren’t very happy with me using a table without buying anything

Very clean, fresh bedding, staff were friendly aside from challenges with language barrier (i must improve my spanish!)

Airconditioner controller was not available for guests to use so needed to request air con to be turned off and on . the room was quite warm at times. Zero english spoken by the staff so commmuication mostly difficult .

The hostel is located next to train station and bus station is opposite . Large bright dorms with lockers and underbed storage. At front of the hostel is a bar and restaurant, nice atmosphere.

No hairdryer, had to bring one with us.

Location, lovely staff and the bar!

Would have been nice to have a towel each.

It doesn't have a community vibe, so if you wanna meet people, have more of a "hostel vibe" it might not be the place for you.

The beds with curtains, socket and light were very comfortable. Big rooms, decent bathroom. The location is convenient for traveling as it's next to the train/bus station, but the area is not pretty. Can choose one breakfast option (tortilla, croissant etc plus one coffee), which is nice, but it's not a lot.

Kitchen Facilities very basic. The showers were cold on the 2nd day. I don't speak Spanish so check in took a little longer.

Very reasonably priced. Curtains on beds and lockers made it feel more secure. Beds and bathrooms were clean. Airport bus arrives across the road.

Stayed in June 2023

just the language barrier, but we found solutions by using translator.

the location was perfect right in front of the bus station from the airport, very clean, everything was good ! I recommend

The shower was the main issue. The water was cold, and the water flow was too little. It really needs to be fixed..

The location is great and the bar is very cosy. The staff were nice and everything was very clean. The beds are comfortable and the lockers are spacious.

- Staff. Only one guy speak english, so expect difficulties in conversation, or learn (always good to have) basic Spanish phrases. - Staff. A printed copy of my passport was left on the desk for a three(!!!) days unattended, available to anybody passing by, after which I took it away with me. Be aware! Another thing about staff- the same guy told me to do not use an Airport car hire service, they will charge me more, instead he offered me two nearby services beside the hostel, which charged me nearly twice the price of an old, budget cars than I've paid at the Airport. Consider that! - Rooms. This one you should keep in mind that I was the ONLY person at the moment(30/11/22- 04/12/22), so be informed! Rooms are cold, no heating provided, my only option was a sunlight through a big window. A light heating was switched on on my last day, probably of the presence of another traveller. - Facilities. It's a big toilet/ shower area, which is kept clean, but smell from it filling the main corridor. Also, passing by people can easily observe of your "way of doing things"(men's section). There's nothing to hide, but slightly inconvenient. - Showers. ...well, I've been told that I need to wait around five minutes to let the water run hot, I've been waiting over ten, to have a slightly warm shower. Perhaps it's exist, I probably wasn't patient enough, but I was frozen in the shower... Could be a good start to train of body hardening... - Storage. Very small shelf in the bed area, literally for the phone. Hard to keep a bottle of water or a wallet on. - Breakfast. Guess, there's no option of "Breakfast included"(which is completely understandable), but this is the only cafe in Santander with warm (not hot) coffee- I don't know why?

- Location. Right in the City Centre, just across the main Bus Station. Very convenient for arrivals from airport. As well, hostel shares the same building with a train station(literally, you don't even leaving the building to hop on train), another one is just a few steps away to the left. Bus station across the road, three minutes by slow walk. - Food. There's a bar/cafe inside(suspect that the bar owns a hostel), good food selection, restaurant in there, but was constantly closed of my stay. - WiFi. Wouldn't say that speed was very fast but affordable, for surfing, watching YouTube. - Beds. They are alright, nothing impressive, nothing bad. - Storage. There's a locker provided with key(of your bed number) and an under bed cell, for storing boots or backpack or luggage. You need to have your own lock for it! - Location 2. Your discovery of the city starts right here. All necessary shops or cafes are within two or less minutes from hostel entrance, easy to have shopping, breakfast/dinner/supper. A sea port and a promenade is less than 7 minutes away, by very easy walking, very nice to have such walk in the morning or at the end of the day. - Car park(payable) at the back of the hostel, attached to the train departures/arrivals.
