This place is a Hotel not a Hostel, think of it as this and you will be satisfied, free Wi-Fi, very close to Bus station. Breakfast is discounted Coffee and a Croissant at the cafeteria in the bus station for 3.50 euro per couple. Nice owners that make you feel welcome. Guy speaks some english...

I loved my stay at Hostel Cabo Mayor! I highly recommend it! It's the only Santander hostel I would stay in...and I tried a few when i was there. Plus, Sergio and Maria helped me and my friend feel right at home. Sending you big hugs Sergio!! Thanks for everthing! ~Kathy (California, USA)

Maybe they could have a special place for the keys for people who check out early. I just put it on a table in the reception and that is not very safe.

It's a really nice place to stay. Taxi was about €15 from the airport. The hostel character was more like a little hotel. I really liked the place and the staff was very helpful and friendly. Free and fast internet(Wi-Fi) We definitely recommend it.

Excellent location, cheap rates, choice of bars, cafes etc. nearby. Clean and tidy place, rooms OK, no complaints. Biggest plus is the fact that they are literally next door to the bus station for the Airport bus. No long distance hiking with bags.

It's my second time in Santander and of course, in the hostel CaboMayor. A place very clean, quiet and safe for our holidays. Rooms well equipped, very discreet and helpful employees, and a perfect location for exploring the city. Certainly recommendable

A great location and a very clean and well-equipped hostel. Staff didn't speak any English. I would not recommend the city of Santander itself though. Full of wealthy, narrow-minded people.

A very good, clean and well-located place that feels more like a two star hotel than a hostel. Our room was lovely,spotless and had armchairs, a table,a big bathroom and even a kitchen! Much better than we expected...highly recommended!

It was more like a budget hotel than a hostel. It was spotless and the location was great. The staff spoke no English at all which was fine but they weren't overly friendly either. I would definitely recommend this hostel-it is amazing value for money!

A friendly and safe place, where rest after a great day! It is not luxurious, but is well furnished. Room clean and warm, with private bath. In the city centre, a few metres from the bus stations and railways. Santander is really beautiful. I hope to return and stay in the same hostel.

When I returned around 1:45pm they tried to force me to pay for an extra night because i hadn't moved my things out of the room by noon. This was not indicated anywhere in my room and was certainly not mentioned by the woman when i explicity asked the evening prior. I was very disappointed by their customer service. A decent night's sleep, but certainly not worth the high rating it has.close

location right next to the bus station and the train station. Within walking distance to every place I wanted to go. The room was a good size, clean and welcoming. I'd go back to Santander, if I did, I'd chose this hostel.
