Hostel de las Facultades

Antonio is the most joyful man I have encountered on this journey! He beams with pride as he showed us around the hostel and gave us great directions to join up on the Camino the next morning. Everything was good. Thank you.

While the reserved room does have a private bathroom, the privacy is missing due to the absence of the door, eg just a curtain which separates your symphony :)

Antonio is a very warm person and made me feel very welcome even though we communicated through Google translate. I am sure that if I had any questions he would have been able to help me. Checkin was very easy even though I didn't communicate my arrival time. The room is large and everything was very clean. For me it was a little cold as the heater was not working and the bed cover was a little too thin. Toiletries we're a little bit minimal. The location is about 15 minutes walk up a very steep hill from the station. There are a few travelators to help.

Antonio was very helpfull for giving advise where to walk, which routes and/or busses I could take

For us location was great, 15 min walking distance from the city centre and 10 min from the airport by taxi. The room was very clean and Antonio was very nice, gave us recommendations on where to eat and how to get the most out of our time there.

Very clean and comfortable. Staff with experience and very high predisposition

A very good budget option for Santander.

Extremely friendly host, Antonio, made us feel very welcome, despite not speaking English but using Google Translate. Our room was quiet and adequate, if not luxurious. Clean , big en suite bathroom with small shower and clean towels. Good WiFi and on street parking were appreciated. Nothing, apart from the small shower and steep walk back from the town centre.

Great location, clean and quiet Nothing

Exceptional

Easy to park, Antonio on reception couldn't have been nicer, or more helpful. Room and bathroom both smart and scrupulously clean and comfortable. Nothing fancy. Very quiet. Short walk to a pharmacy, a supermarket and a large comfortable bar with decent prices and nice food. It's a fine place to overnight before catching the flight back to Edinburgh in the morning. Great, circular bus services running outside with stops nearby 7C1 into town and 7C2 back to the Hostel €1.30 per person per journey, or Antonio will call for a taxi for you €7 down to Mesón Rampalay (legendary traditional bar with excellent pinchos, charcuterie, seafood and rice dishes) behind the Paseo de Pereda. It was great 30 years ago and it's still great now. Thoroughly recommended. Our bedroom door opened directly onto reception which was unusual, but other than that, it was perfectly fine. Reception was quiet and so were we.

Great place to stay, supermarket close by. Excellent receptionist gentleman.

Very good

Antonio was the most friendly host I have ever met. Also the finest 70 year old. ? All good for a reasonably priced family room. Kettle would have been helpful

Excellent hostess. 7

Antonio is a terrific host and very helpful. Very congenial. The room was exceptionally clean and very comfortable, with plenty of storage. Location is good, only a 15 minute walk to city centre. Bus available as well. Would hv liked a coffee/tea facility in room? Or elsewhere?.

Superb

Staff was the star. Antonio was like an old friend. Not speaking Spanish, no problem. He whipped up a Google translator and told us all the tips and information. He ensured that we both were comfortable and happy with everything.

Very good
