Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location very close to the train and bus stations. 24 hour reception with nice staff. Everywhere in the hotel was very clean. It felt safe and secure, and also it was quiet! I was very comfortable there.

    Staff are brilliant and super helpful with my broken Spanish. The place was clean, comfy and inviting. Sockets and storage for every bunk is a fantastic feature which not many hostels have and it’s also one of the cheapest. A friend recommended this place to me and they where absolutely right to do so.

    Probably one of the nicest hostels I've ever stayed in. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful - they remembered my name despite the fact I was only staying a few nights and always greeted me while a smile. The hostel was very clean, well run and well equipped with amenities - they even had a coffee machine! As a solo traveller, I felt exceptionally safe and welcomed and the environment was quiet and respectful. They even stored my luggage after check-out.

    Really enjoyed our stay at this wee hostel, the staff were great, especially Angel who was very helpful. Nice common room, free breakfast, think the only thing that'd be nice to have was a hand dryer in the bathroom. It's a great location, just across the street from both train and bus station (that's where the airport ends and starts too). Easy enough to walk everywhere but also easy to use buses if needed. There's a supermarket right next to it as well.

    Exactly what you want from a hostel - cheap, clean, and the owner was very friendly and helpful. Free breakfast was basic but a nice and pleasant gesture.

    Sea view rooms (overlooking the whole bay) are fantastic & well-worth the premium to "watch the world go by". Staff were very friendly, helpful, professional and spoke fluent English. Great location (tourist suburb) with excellent cheap bus service into central Santander (cheap , fast & regular)

    Great location. End of the coastal strip with views out to the cliffs and the main town beach which is beautiful. Modern, spacious and clean with loads of safe parking which is a plus when you’re coming off or going on the ferry. Staff are lovely across board. Good bar and restaurant too although it’s a shame to miss out on the City’s incredible Tapas bar scene Good beds!
