We went on a short break with Brittany ferries to Santander.The hotel was just a few steps from the ferry.As hotels go it was a place to lay your head a little smelly in the lift, the room was satisfactory if a little small it was clean the shower was difficult to use as it was broken.The self service breakfast...

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for 5 nights. Maria in reception was more than helpful and told us about some great places to eat and which direction to go. There is a great tapas bar/restaurant right across the street and it is within walking distance of just about everything. The train station and bus station are so... More

Hotel is just beside the main bus station, so very handy if you come by bus from the airport (Euro 2.20 for the airport bus and it only takes about 15 min). Everything else, like the main square (where it gets really busy on Fri/Sat nights) is within walking distance, approx 10min and the main beach is about 25/30min away...nice... More

I stayed for a few nights and the location is great just beside the bus and train station making it very convenient for tourists. Its also one block away from the main road beside the ocean with lots of stores and restaurants around. The rooms are clean and modern a bit small though. In general a good place to stay... More

Hotel Abba Santander is less than 5 minutes from the Brittany Ferries port, just cross over the road complex, turn left and it is 300 yards on your right. The accommodation is clean and comfortable, the service excellent and the buffet breakfast sufficient to fill you for most of the day. It is a loong walk to the beach but... More

This hotel is right beside the bus station in Santander but in a nice - not a dodgy area. The rooms are fine and the bathrooms clean. They have proper ac. It is minutes from the old town by foot and less than a minute to the promenade. Breakfast is only adequate. They do provide whole milk instead that UHT... More

Nothing to fault. The room was clean, new, modern. Aircon is cold (a rarity in Europe) and the whole place is pleasant. Not enough soundproofing as my room faced the bus station and it was noisy at times. Paid a premium at EUR 95 because I moved out last minute from a terrible hotel. So I stayed only 1 night.

The hotel is located in the very centre of the city; it is easily reached by car - even parking is not a problem if you're ready to pay the price of the nearby underground public car park (access via the central lanes at the end of the Antonio Lopez street). However, the room we had (203) is too narrow... More
