Had a one night stay in a private room for 2 adults & 2 kids. Kids loved the four poster bunk bed. Room was clean and had ensuite + aircon. Received a warm welcome from the hostel staff. Having read some mixed reviews before staying, I think some reviews confuse the hostel and the cafe bar. Staff in the hostel were really friendly. Evening staff in the cafe bar were also friendly. The guy running the cafe bar in morning must be the person who is generating all the reviews about rudeness. He certainly was rude and unhelpful about getting breakfast from there. Although he was a bit nicer when he realised we were hostel guests.

Excellent location. The Santander bus station is right across from the hotel, and the train station is actually in the same building. The hotel also operates one of the best bar-restaurants in the area, so you get an all-in-one package. All local buses stop just across the street, and intercity buses like ALSA make it easy to reach nearby cities. (Tip: the bus station’s -2 floor has spacious luggage storage lockers, only €4 per day.)
The overhead shower worked well, but the handheld shower wasn’t functioning. It wasn’t really necessary for us, so it wasn’t an issue.

Literally seconds away from the bus and rail stations, but still quiet and close enough for a stroll to the centre of town. The place is spotlessly clean and the staff are friendly and helpful. Great bar/restaurant at the front. If you’re in Santander on a budget, you should certainly try Hostel & Co.
Nothing. Exceeded my expectations tbh.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Apr 2023
The staff at the place was super friendly and I felt welcomed. The place is amazingly located, just inside the train station. The place was clean and the facilities were spacious. The working area is very nicely designed and I felt comfortable hanging out there.
The place wasn't really ready yet for guests. I was the only one in the Hostel and many things weren't really running yet - there was no water boiler for tea, no fridge to put my food into, no hot water for a shower in the morning. That was a little frustrating for me as I expected the place to be running as it said on the website. But I can imagine that if you go there in the high season these things will be resolved.
