The location is excellent. On the Bay, across the bus station and a block away from the train station, and from the Ferry terminal. Walking distance to the Cathedral, plenty restaurants and shops. Room and bathroom are good size. Complimentary toiletries are a plus, not only the usual shampoo, conditioner, soap, but toothbrush, comb, and more. Safe box and minibar. Breakfast buffet for extra 12€ is good. Very friendly and helpful staff. Free coffee (self serve) in the lobby. Very good value for a 3 star hotel.

Great staff. Very accommodating and helpful. We needed a parking space for longer than checkout time as the ferry was delayed and they happily obliged. We had a lovely comfortable room and I wish we could have stayed longer. This hotel is ideally situated for the ferry but also very close to all shops and restaurants (and a park for walking dogs).

“Perfect location for ferry terminal”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted from a mobile device
Due to some bad weather, some of the electrics failed. Delayed our breakfast - no coffee / hot food. To be fair, was probably a one off ... !
Came across Abba as a result of a late cancellation by Brittany Ferris. We have 2 dogs, so needed a room at short notice. Abba came up trumps! Reception staff were excellent - very helpful and understanding. We got a parking spot on the doorstep (may have been lucky there!!) and room was good size. Price was a bit higher than we would normally pay, but given circumstances it wasn’t something to quibble over. Plus, it was a holiday weekend in Spain. Likely we will use Abba again as a landing point before our ferry back to the uk.

Good location. Parking was available in street right outside hotel (for 9euros). Nice modern hotel as a base for sampling Santander's culinary delights.

“A superb hotel in central Santander, close to Britannia Ferries. no parking directions given before.”
- • With a pet
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 1 night
The hotel is very central Santander, and on a Main Street. We spent an hour looking for a parking place. When we told the staff our parking problem, they directed us to parking in a municipal car park, free to guests. I don’t recall receiving directions to this car park when booking. If we had gone straight to the car park , even though we had to carry our bags back to hotel, our stay would have been perfect.
Although the facade looks old, the hotel is ultra modern inside. The size of the room was extremely generous and a single bed was prepared, we assumed for the dogs bedding. The beds extremely comfortable and the room was exceptionally clean. Lots of toiletries available, ie tooth brush, comb, etc., the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Offering maps etc.,
