    Sure a little more cleaning but sheet wise it was fine, liveable but I think it is pasable for a night but they could be more cleaning, they are dead white sheets but there are stray Elments. Great for a night.

    I liked that the staff spoke in Spanish or English and adjusted accordingly. They were not dismissive or rude. It was a fantastic location and perfect size for me for a one night stay. I loved it really.’ It was what I wanted and I couldn’t have expected more.

    This is a basic hostel -don't expect luxury. But for what it is, it is great.

    Helpful staff on site. Great location. Nice to have room with small balcony. Good value.

    Really missed not having drinks facilities in room !

    Very good location, short walk to bus/train stations in the heart of city and close to seafront. Plenty of bars,restaurants and coffee shops which are relatively inexpensive!! Went on lovely boat cruise to Somo via Pedrenà. Beautiful surfing beach!! Excellent value at €6.50 return.

    Room, especially the bathroom was very outdated. I’ve stayed in cheap hostels/albergues that were much cleaner and up to date. The only good thing that I can say about the tiny shower was that it had hot water. Had to park in public parking a few blocks away

    Location was great

    The isolation of the rooms are almost non existent. Earplugs are needed for sleeping. But if you are out a lot and don’t need more than a minimum comfort it is still good for the price.

    Very good position. Nice neighbourhood. Close to the train station. Cheap price. Easy booking, check in was possible very early. Quite clean room.

    The room smelled like some kind of rodent was living there, mice or gliss fliss, a very distinctive smell. Window to a dead tiny courtyard would be ok it wasn't for the fact that it was very mouldy. Bath/shower combo had added glass wall/protector - almost impossible to get into it doe to that, and shower gel on the other side of the glass wall... 2 shower gels to be honest... No shampoo... The only thing that was great is the location.

    Great Location in the Heart of Santander

    Could use a shelf in the bathroom.

    Good place to stay for a night or two. Location was fantastic - right next to city hall and the mercado. There is a bus stop across from city hall that will take you to the Palacio and the penninsula and elsewhere. Ten minute walk to Centro Botin. Hostel is on the 3rd floor, but if carrying luggage, by all means use the little mini elevator because 3rd floor does not equate to three flights of stairs. It's more like 10+ flights of stairs due to the design of the building, which is primarily private residences. Room was renovated but oddly as others have pointed out, the doors were not replaced nor were the baseboards, so was kind of a mix of old and new. Bathroom was nicely renovated but small, and completely lacked a shelf to place toiletries on. Bed was comfortable and WiFi good and room was quiet. Good value for money during low season.

    Whilst I understand that bathrooms in Spain are often small, I just about banged my chest on the sink getting up from the toilet. it was cramped but the shower itself was alright for size. There was a drink stain on the bedroom wall and one on the bathroom door.

    The location was excellent and the staff were friendly.

    Cleanliness wasn't the highest and the bedding was poor quality. No air-conditioning which meant we needed to keep the window open which caused a lot of noise. Room was dated.

    Location was great and a short walk from all of the tapas bars and parks. Secure and easy access. Staff were friendly and helpful. Close to the main bus stop which we used to access the city from the airport.

    Decoration in the room wasn't very tidy. Walls and skirting boards in bad condition.

    It was a very simple way of running an hotel.

    It requires some renovation as it is a bit oldie, and it would be appreciated to open the wardrobes when cleaning the room and realise that the blankets inside the (old) closet are all unmade, which makes you doubt about the cleaning.

    Super perfect location in walking distance to the train station and the ferry port, and to all types of shops, bars and restaurants. Bed linen and towels clean with a spacious room. Staff was very helpful.
