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.

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

Raucherbude mit Zentrumsnähe

Wir sind viel unterwegs, aber in so einer Raucherbude haben wir noch nie übernachtet, es stank alles, habe mir ein Handtuch auf den Polster gelegt, um den Gestank etwas zu mindern, auch das Öffnen des Fensters hat nichts gebracht. Das Positive war die Zentrumsnähe. Parkplatz war ebenfalls nah.
