Short Break. Santander Abba Hotel

Our stay was for 3 nights. Four adults. All staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel is very convenient with respect to the ferry (circa 80 meters), the town centre and public transport. Breakfast was very good. Rooms were very clean and comfortable.

The hotel is in a good location for bus and train services. They really need to pull up the carpet as this makes the room feel very dirty and dusty.

Stayed here 10/11 and 16/17 March while visiting San Sebastian and Bilbao as flew into and out of Santander airport. Got bus outside airport to bus station. €3.20.Hotel is next to bus station. Hotel let me have late check out (6 p.m.) as i'd a late flight - extra €30 euro. Bargain. After trapsing around SS and Bilbao for 5 days it was great to find Lush yesterday and have a bath in the hotel as very foot sore and weary. Its Sunday and Santander is closed!! Bars open so thats ok. If you are flying into Santander and need a bed for the night I highly recommend this comfortable convenient Hotel..

Lovely hotel will stay again.

Loved this hotel! Santander is a beautiful city. Was very busy while we were there as festival at the weekend. Loved this hotel in great location just outside the old town and right next to the bus station where airport bus drops off. Our room was on 3rd floor and had big windows and lottle balcony but with windows closed no noise from traffic or street Room was very spacious ans modern with free bottled water and coffee machine as well as kettle and fridge.
