Enjoy Santander, hotel in Santander

Located in Santander and with Playa Los Peligros reachable within a 18-minute walk, Enjoy Santander provides a shared lounge, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a terrace.

Great hostel especially for the price. I was Leary of sharing a room in dorm but so much detail to privacy (cubby beds, curtains, own storage, own clothes hook). I felt totally comfortable and loved talking with all the guests. Bonus—grocery store downstairs!

    Ángel greeted us at reception and was so kind and helpful! The location of the hostel is amazing, everything is in walking distance and it’s located next to the train station. The hostel itself was very clean and had a super cute common area as well. Everything felt super safe and they were beyond kind and accommodating!!

    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.
