Bright, clean rooms with comfy beds, staff were friendly, everything worked, good location. Yes the sound insulation could be a bit better, but for the price it was just what I wanted... I can sleep through anything so noise doesn't bother me but, saying that, I didn't hear anything. I'd definitely stay here again.

The good location is not worth the terribly unprofessional behavior of the reception and "management" reps. The good service of the cleaning staff cannot compensate for the musty-smelling bedrooms with leaky bathtubs, nor for the dated and worn facilities.
We spent 1 night in Santander and found this hostel quite perfect: good value for money, perfect position to stroll around the city center, 24h reception. The room was quite basic but clean. Being 4 they gave us 2 rooms, just one with the bathroom with a door between the 2 rooms. They should have specified us not to close the door, in fact once closed it was impossible to open it again!
The only nice thing here is the location and the staff. Every other thing is zero!!! Disliked 1.Mosquito infested rooms 2.Couldn’t sleep at night. Extremely noisy. You can hear all the cars on the road, all the chats from nearby rooms. 3.Extremely overpriced rooms, totally not worth the price of about €120 a night. Jeez! False vintage. This is one of my worst hotel experience. 4. Zero amenities in the rooms. No soap or shampoo or other basics. 5. No English-speaking channels on tv 6. Breakfast is plain bread and tea and the fruits were visibly rotten. I took pictures!
Not for me. The floors in the room were very dusty/dirty. Everything is pretty run down. I cut my visit short, wore shoes the entire time and only stayed one night. The staff was kind enough to allow me to cancel my remaining night without charge.
