Comments: I liked the stay. The room smelled of cleaning recently. There was a really comfortable bed with clean sheets, has a small fridge and TV news channel in English. The bathroom is not great but it has towels, soap and shampoo, plus a hair dryer. The employee very nice and helpfully . Of course I recommend to all my friends.

Comments: According to 10, I would give it a 9.999. Incredible price for its facilities, service and location. Now I understand why it was so difficult to make a reservation in Cabo Mayor! A hostel you'd like to go back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comments: 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 mother speaks none.

Comments: 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. A little more description of the location on the website would be good too. Maybe "next to the tobacco store, the last door before the corner take the elevator to the second floor"

Comments: 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.

Comments: 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. Don't think the staff spoke English, though, might be challenging if your Spanish isn't reasonably good.

Comments: 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.

Comments: 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!
