    I was only here one night but the owners of the hostel were very friendly and warm. Good hostel if you want to get a good nights sleep!

    A quiet, friendly, family-run hostel. I would recommend it - the only bad thing was there was not very good heating in the room, though the weather was unusually cold.

    The staff were amazingly friendly and accommodating, and everything was quite clean. We had to pass through three locked doors to get to our room so we felt very safe . Overall it was like staying at a friend's grandparents' house: clean, comfortable, and kind. Would definitely stay there again.

    Pensión un poco antigua. Correcta, en la linea de lo que se espera de una pensión. El personal es bastante amable.

    The man and woman who ran the place were extremely nice and helpful. It was very close to the bus station and only a short walk to the main part of town or the beach.

    This isn´t a typical hostel at all - instead of what I expected, we got a room rented out to us by a sweet elderly couple who just ended up with a gigantic apartment in Santander. The location was alright, it was three blocks away from the main bus station, but it wasn´t great for beach... more

    The Pension madrid is in a building very near the bus and train station, and near the port. It is a flat converted into a pension, in fact you will feel as guest of your aunt! It is a house, not very modern furniture, but the position is strategic and the service is good, above all because it is... more

    The hostel was very clean and had everything we needed. The staff were not super friendly and kept trying to come into our room (without knocking) to clean even when we were there, other than that we had a good stay there.

    Really nice place and the staff are lovely and very helpful. It´s pretty central, very close to the bus and train stations and no more than 10 minutes walk to the zona rosa where the majority of the nice bars and restaurants are. Very affordable compared to some of the other hostels which seem... more

    Old school style hotel/hostal with very nice couple running it. They have an overflow place just around the corner for when they are full, which is where we were put. Not sure about Santander but this is a good place to stay on a budget, especially good for proximity to the port and train/bus...

    It's small, but great place to sleep and have a rest, it doesn't have a common room, so you barely see the others guests, but in general i liked it.

    I highly recommend that you know Spanish. Also, when we arrived the owner told us that the hostel was full and he ended up taking us to a different apartment a few blocks away which was still really nice and clean but did not have wifi.

    The location was great, and the people were very nice. There is no common room, so you are basically just getting a bed and a bathroom, but if that's ok with you it was great. The only downside- we were placed in a room overlooking the street and it was quite noisy at night. Fortunately, we... more

    the rooms are nice, everything is clean, and it's right next to train/bus station and center.. no common room or anything, cuz it's more of an appartment with rooms for rent than a real hostel per say.. but i'd gladly stay there again if i'm ever back in santander !
