I really liked everything about this hostel. I booked a private room and it was the most comfortable room I’ve stayed in at this price point. It is very well located, only a few minutes walk from the bus station. Check-in was smooth and Beatriz was amazing. She gave me some great information of what to see and do in the city. The hostel is renovated and everything looks brand new and is super clean. The kitchen and dining area are both comfortable and there is free coffee and tea. If I return to Santander I’ll definitely stay at Alojiamentos Cantiber. A big thank you to the staff who were all super kind!

Very convenient for those pilgrims walking the Camino Del Norte. We stayed in a private room for four at a very reasonable rate. It was clean and well appointed. For 1.20 E we each made a Cafe Con Leche while unpacking. After walking the promenade we had the most amazing steak dinner. The staff at Enjoy Santander are top rated - so helpful!

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.

• This is probably one of my most favorite hostels I've ever stayed at. Let's start with the location. It is in an old bus station terminal. The husband and wife own the restaurant in the front and the hostel in the back / on the side. You can enter the Hostel either through the restaurant or around the left side; there is a door where you can enter / check in. I'd go around to the side if the restaurant is full, or, during peak dining times. • Bathrooms were massive! 4 showers, multiple urinals, toilets and sinks in the men's. I read a review that said the hot water didn't work, I found this to be untrue. I used 3 different stalls while I was there and hot water wasn't an issue. It does take 20 to 40 seconds to heat up though. • Bedrooms were all vaulted ceilings, fresh paint, amazing beds, super comfy with a privacy screen / curtain. Each room had air conditioning and functional power outlets. Rooms were cleaned daily by the staff. Each bed has two lockers, one under the bed (massive) and one on the wall (smaller). Both have keys and locks provided by the hostel. • Kitchen and recreation area is a good size and the refrigerators for food storage are quite large (2). Definitely eat at the restaurant when you stay here. Cannot speak highly enough of these amazing people and there establishment.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Ángel greeted us at reception and was so kind and helpful! The location of the hostel is amazing, everything is in walking distance and it’s located next to the train station. The hostel itself was very clean and had a super cute common area as well. Everything felt super safe and they were beyond kind and accommodating!!

    Staff are brilliant and super helpful with my broken Spanish. The place was clean, comfy and inviting. Sockets and storage for every bunk is a fantastic feature which not many hostels have and it’s also one of the cheapest. A friend recommended this place to me and they where absolutely right to do so.

    Probably one of the nicest hostels I've ever stayed in. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful - they remembered my name despite the fact I was only staying a few nights and always greeted me while a smile. The hostel was very clean, well run and well equipped with amenities - they even had a coffee machine! As a solo traveller, I felt exceptionally safe and welcomed and the environment was quiet and respectful. They even stored my luggage after check-out.
