Perfect location for a trip to Santander
I stayed here for two nights. The hotel is directly opposite the bus station so extremely easy to get there from the airport, takes about 20 mins by bus for €2.90. The hostal was clean, modern, comfortable and quiet. The lady who checked me in was friendly and accomodation. The location is perfect for exploring the city and the prices are extremely reasonable. Will be my first choice for my next trip to Santander.

Staff rude. Hotwater was damaged in property and so sent us to another one. I arrived at 11:30 at night and neither could be accessed. Stayed at Hotel Alisa which was amazing.if you are arriving past 10pm make sure you tell them otherwise will be very rude to you the next day.

Response from Host Managert on 4 Jul 2019
Does not tell the whole story. Unfortunately we have to refer you to another establishment for a problem with hot water, it is true but it is indicated that the reception of the establishment is closed at 22:00 and we ask that you inform us of an approximate time of arrival. You do not answer us, you do not inform us and the next day you want us to pay for the Hotel Alisas room.

When we arrived the property did not have a record of our booking even though I had confirmation from lastminute.com.au on my phone. What happened here??! Also the outside shutter did not come down. This made our room very light as there were street lights on all night. We only saw the staff when we arrived.

Response from Jesus Hostal manager on 3 Jun 2019
We regret the misunderstanding, you arrived before we received the confirmation by mail of your last minute reservation. We are not all day at the reception desk, that's why it has a bell, if you press it, we'll give you immediate notice, we have permanent staff from 09:00 to 22:00. It is probable that the problem with the shutter would have been solved at once.

Dear Christine thank you for your comment. We are happy to know that the comfort of our rooms and the situation of our small establishment appeared. Our establishment is in a large square building, yellow in a corner just opposite the railway station and the bus station, on the main door there is a large bright of more than 1.50 meters, with an arrow which indicates the entrance, I do not see the difficulty ... I hope see you at next time.

Nasty experience
Undoubtedly the worst hotel experience of my life. arrived at a non descript location that looked like an office block. I rang the night bell and had a door unlocked and made my way up to the second floor to be greeted by an elderly woman in a nightgown who spoke only Spanish. I speak no Spanish. There was no one else to talk to. She demanded I pay €50 and could not understand I paid online thru this site. She demanded to keep my passport. She was angry and demanded I leave when I refused. I said she could take a copy but not keep it. I have no problem dea what she was saying though I recognised "police". I could not persuade her that I booked online and already paid by credit card. She physically tried to kick me out of the room attempting to take my bag out. I tried to explain using a translation site on my iPad but she demanded the money and my passport. I begged her to find someone to speak with but she was very hostile and said there was no one. An hour later. Exhausted having arrived from bilboa and just needing to sleep I gave her €50 to let me stay. This episode took 2 hours. All happened in the room. I''m so angry it''s not funny. the experience has ruined my time in Santander. This hotel has no business being on this site. I. Would not even call it a hotel. She was rude and nasty and I'm completely distraught at being treated like a criminal. I got no sleep.

Dear Mona Thank you for your comment, we are very sorry that you did not meet your expectations. Indeed the person who attended it does not know English. Fatima speaks only Spanish, French and Portuguese, and Arabic is her mother tongue. She is not the person who takes care of the reception, its task is the cleaning and ironing of the bed linen. We are very sorry that even though you arrive after midnight (when your reservation clearly specifies that the reception hours are from 9:00 am to 10:00 pm), it would not seem appropriate for a person with Muslim clothing and not in a nightgown as you thought to see and of course not an old lady (it is not our policy to make old people work) I would welcome you and not leave you without a room at midnight Said this, of course upon arriving, leave the passport to take the data and a deposit for your stay, Fatima asked her as well as she could, because you only speak English and she does not. The next morning he was answered in English, the deposit was returned and apologies for the inconvenience, reminding him that his printed reservation had clearly reflected the reception schedule.

A small, but very cozy place
Stayed in Cabo Mayor for one night. The room was very good, had good internet, fridge, tea/coffee facilities, and a very modern bath. The location is very hand, just across the street from the train and bus stations. The stuff was very friendly and helpful (not sure if they speak much English though, used my basic Spanish). The checkout is quite late 12pm, plus they were happy for me to leave my luggage in the hotel, as my flight was not until 10 pm. I would highly recommend the place.

Great little gem in the centre of town
A great hotel right in the centre of town right across from the bus and train station. It's on the second floor of a building and it has 6 rooms. The room was very clean and the staff were very friendly. If your a smoker you have to go out to smoke everytime but most hotels are like that now in Spain. We couldn't fault it.

No people at the reception
The hotel is ok (clean and tidy) just the bed is not very comfy, the mattress was not great. The problem was the reception was usually empty and when doing the checkout early in the morning the day we where leaving, we had to phone them (what if you have a foreign phone?) and wait ten minutes until someone showed up.
Response from Recepcion desk on 12 Sept 2015
Thank you for your kind words, our mattresses are memory foam type, if it is true, we can not have mattresses to everyone's taste. Moreover I would like puntualizarle that, as indicated in the information you receive with your booking confirmation, our reception is open from 9:00 to 22:00 Outside this period have a phone of incidents in which to meet all your needs

The Wifi didn't work, which normally wouldn't really be a problem except that I work online and was excited to get some work done. The woman working insisted that it was fine despite the fact that neither my computer or phone could connect, and did not do much to resolve the situation.
Response from Jesus Somohano on 4 Jul 2015
Dear Sir. I am very sorry that I could not connect to our wi-fi network. I can confirm it was found, and the connection worked perfectly, as it is the same as used in the reception desk. Maybe it was a timely drop network, but in any case this works perfectly, however I reiterate our apologies

A good place for a stop over
This was a good and reasonably priced hotel. The hotel was located next to the bus and rail stations and was within walking distance to the harbour. The hotel is located within an apartment block and was a little difficult to locate once inside therefore signage could be improved. While the room had its own bathroom and double bed it felt a little cramped however for a one night stop over it was fine. The room itself was clean, modern and comfortable. The staff were friendly but didn't have much engagement with the guests.

A bit difficult to find as the door is on the street in an entrance to a building shared by other business'. The hotel is on the second floor. A little puzzling at first. However met by very friendly staff and a wonderully clean and well thought out little room. 'Petite and Bijou' may be the best description. Well located. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend as a pleasant surprise.

This is not a hotel; it is a pension.
This was the worst place to stay in a visit of 12 cities throughout Spain. The pension is on the second floor of a small building. The room we had was extremely small and ditto for the bathroom. The worst was the evenings when guests spoke loud, argued until very, very late. The owners of this pension, not a hotel or even a hostal, leave the premises for the night, so there is no one controlling the noise level or the guests. The place has no insulation and no air conditioning as advertised. We were lucky to have cool days and nights (June 22 to June 25)

Fairly basic but comfortable for a town centre location at a middle of the road price. The only problem was finding the entrance because the sign is small and it looks like a block of flats.

mauvais plan
nous avons annulé notre séjour pour plusieurs raisons : arrivés sur place nous avons attendu un quart d'heure que quelqu'un nous ouvre, sonné plusieurs fois sans succès ; nous sommes rentrés car quelqu'un sortait de l'établissement ; arrivés à la porte, de nouveau même problème sonnerie sans effet; attente dans un couloir étroit avec valises et personnes qui sortaient de lascenceur .. pas terrible; finalement on nous a ouvert, pas la gestionnaire mais une mamie qui nous a expliqué que la personne en charge allait arriver ; ce qui s'est passé au bout d'une demi heure ! aucune excuse, nous nous sentions mal et avons annulé. mauvais plan. déçue qu'il y ait des établissements de la sorte sur ce site

Chère Madame,Avec votre confirmation de réservation, nous vous informons que notre petit établissement dispose d'un accueil en présentiel uniquement de 10h00 à 14h00 et que vous pouvez vous enregistrer jusqu'à 22h00 sans problème, mais pour cela , nous devons nous informer d'une heure approximative de votre arrivée. Je pense que vous n'avez pas pris la peine de lire les conditions de réservation et pour cette raison il n'y avait personne qui attendait votre arrivée à 18h30. En raison de son attitude agaçante, sonnant continuellement à la porte, une de nos clientes (la mamie qui commente) a eu la gentillesse de nous prévenir et de vous informer que nous étions déjà en route. Nous sommes toujours là lorsque nos clients arrivent pour les aider, tant que nous savons quand ils arriveront. Malheureusement, nous ne pouvons pas deviner votre heure d'arrivée.Cordialement Hs** Cabo Mayor
