I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, especially considering the reasonable price. My only suggestion would be to provide an iron for guests, which would enhance the overall experience. The staff were friendly, polite, and always ready to assist.

the location is certainly excellent, however very clean. seen with my own eyes the lady who redone the rooms properly. What I didn't like is the door of the structure and also the rather old structure itself. Small room

Excellently located in the city centre within walking distance to all amenities. Staff at reception very helpful. Room very clean and fan above the bed was great as the room was very warm. Great lighting in the bathroom for doing makeup! There were only a handful of English tv channels however so there was slim pickings but still found things to watch (you need to change the language to English using the remote if required). Great stay all in all.

The hotel was very nice located, the city centre, public transportation, supermarkets and restaurants are very close. The room was okay. The furniture is quite old, the kitchen could be better equipped and only one big pillow for two persons is also not so nice. But all in all it’s okay for a few nights to explore Santander.

We will give it a miss next time!!
Dated decoration and shower room. Lack of kitchen facilities. Good reception staff. Not worth staying here again next time.

La sutuación es muy buena, queda al lado del centro.
La ducha es horrible, enana (al punto de que si estas embarazada no coges) y bastante sucia y en general descuidada.
La cocina basica pero funcional (si tuviera microondas ganaria mucho)
Las camas basicas, ni especialmente comodas ni incomodas.
Los mandos estan fijados a la pared por lo que para encender o apagar la lux, necesitas levantarte.

Inte ett ställe att återvända till
Pentryt saknade kniv att hacka grönsaker med, inte ens en brödkniv. Även potatisskalare saknades. Fanns inte att få låna heller - frågade efter kniv både hos städpersonal och reception. I receptionen saknades gästtoalett. Ett boende "very basic". Rent, men "outdated" och slitet.
Nära till två större livsmedelsbutiker.
