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.

Excellent location and service, but the hotel needs renovations, the carpet smells bad and looks very old. Closed to everything.

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.

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..

Absolute gem of an hotel.

An absolute gem of an hotel. Very well situated in city centre with lots of bars and restaurants around in very close proximity. Please note, there is no bar in this hotel even though Hotels.com say that there on the hotel information but there isn't and there never has been so don't know where hotels.com get there info from. Hotel was very clean, room was very clean, bed very comfortable, excellent bathroom. Staff were excellent and very friendly and helpful at all times. Couldn't fault this hotel at all. We caught the bus from airport to city centre and hotel is right next to bus station, very close to port for ferry's and very close to train station. Bus runs every 40 minutes. Also caught bus back to airport, only a 10 minute ride. Definitely recommend hotel abba santander and if i ever go back to santander that is where I'll stay.

Under renovering

Personalen var vänlig och trevlig. Hotellet höll dock på att renoveras och endast en våning var officiellt klar. Första rummet luktade illa i badrummet så vi fick ett annat efter påpekandet. Gardinerna var ej kompletta och vissa möbler saknades i rummet (sängbord, avlastningsbord). Elen försvann tidvis i vissa vägguttag. Badrumsdörr gick inte stänga. Städningen inte helt klar. Kort och gott: hotellet var inte riktigt klart för ”business”.
