Reviews of Estudios Aránzazu 2 stars

quick check in online so no much wait on arrival. friendly receptionists, not far from airport

not very good value for money in my opinion. Shower is very small and on a Friday night, there was a lot of noise coming from other rooms, very thin walls!

Lovely place to stay, nice and clean with helpful staff

Location

The attitude of the receptionist

Leaving the place

Would not allow bikes or bikes in a box into room and didn't and wouldn't provide any storage for said bikes or boxes and never gave a reason why....just no, the bikes are not entering the building. A terrible way to end a great cycle trip in Spain. My friend and I have cycle from Porto to Santander over 3 trips and stayed in 19 different locations between Spain and Portugal and this was the only accommodation that would not facilitate our bike storage in some way. We had to get up at 5.30 am for a flight from Santander airport at 11.20, because we had to go to an alternative storage location and take bike apart and box before travelling to the airport. Also the property really needs air-conditioning. Room was very sticky.

It was half an hour by walk from the along sea boulevard. The majority of the hostess were really nice and supportive.

Some basic kitchen items were missing, such as paper towels, drying cloths, and a colander. As an area for improvement, we understood that parking might not be included, but the combination of no on-site parking and the disastrous parking situation in Santander made parking an issue. It would be helpful if parking could be offered as an optional service for an additional fee.

These apartments are easy to find and only a 15min walk max from the main station/bus station. We arrived a little before the check-in time but the lady at reception checked and the room was ready so we could check-in and go up. The studio room is fine, the bathroom a little small, but if was perfectly fine, the beds were comfortable, there was a fridge and hob to heat up water for tea/coffee. Location is excellent with all sorts of bars and restaurants within just a few mins walk.

The shower in the small bathroom had a curtain that due to the small size hugged you when showering, but it was not bad.

The staff were great and very friendly. The location is fairly good, cafes and convenient stores around. The room we had was quite spacious, reasonably quiet. No air-con, but thankfully the room didn't go too hot and stuffy during our visit.

Bathroom - a bit stinky smell, cannot see any ventilation. Small shower area and the shower curtain is not helpful, whenever we took a shower it flooded the bathroom.

Convenient location, close to the bus/train station.

The bathroom is quite small, the water spills easily from the shower plate.

It was a really nice room, very simple. We didn’t spend much time in the room so its smaller size wasn’t an issue. The location was perfect, right next to a bus stop that could get you anywhere in Santander, the place itself was a few minutes into the centre and the closest bars and coffee shops were on the doorstep. There was a 24/7 reception desk which felt very safe and the staff were really nice with great English.

The kitchenette suffered from not having an oven or microwave, so we relied a lot on hob cooked stuff. If you’re going for a long time maybe factor that in.
