Hostal La Mexicana

Centric location makes easy to visit the city.

Great central location with access to the bay, central plaza, shopping, and restaurants. Friendly staff and comfortably sized rooms.

Decent location. Old and dated rooms but only needed it for a night

Needs an urgent update. Staff very nice but the rooms and bathroom very poor maintenance.

La habitación era extremadamente pequeña, apenas había espacio para moverse. El baño también muy reducido con la puerta llena de moho y sin ventilación. El suelo estaba sucio, lleno de pelos negros. El ascensor no funciono correctamente durante toda la estancia, lo que fue un gran inconveniente. En general, el estado del hostal no se corresponde con lo que esperábamos al reservar después de ver las fotografías de las habitaciones.

Very easy access walking from the train station. Very helpful front desk person who helped with bike storage. Comfortable spacious room and clean bathroom. Great value for money. Good location.

The staff were amazing and very welcoming and I lovely one night stay and seeing Santander in all it beauty.

Only stayed one night as it is close to the airport, but couldn’t fault it.

Nice place . Good location. Clean

Excellent!!!

Great reception workers. The room was not perfectly clean when I arrived, but was at a reasonable level of cleanliness. The location is amazing!

The hostel was in the middle of the downtown shopping area. On Sunday there were very few places open where to eat. The weekend I was there was cold and rainy therefore I only had an orange in my room for dinner. Places to eat were not close and I didn't want to walk at night in the area as there were very few people around. The hotel didn't have any heat. The deskclerk told me the cold front had been unexpected and therefore no heat. The room itself was fine otherwise with a private bathroom, closet and TV.

Great value for money. Really nice fellow at reception, waiting for my late arrival in the evening. It's an old building, some areas of the room show that, but bathroom really clean and updated. Other areas are more modernised. Quiet, my room looked to the street, but no noise. I had a great night sleep. When I need to spend a night in Santander, no doubt, I will book it again.

Basic night's stay in Santander, very central on one of the main shopping streets and near the town hall. The room was basic and adequate, although no glasses for water in the room. Breakfast was good.

The hotel is very well located for the bus station, train station and city centre. Pleasant staff throughout and check in was easy. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. Struggled to get hot water either morning and given an old property it's not well sealed from internal noise. For the price, it's good value.

Very good value for the money. Good location and nice room

I was looking for a cheap one night stay and this was ok for that purpose. The Reception level appears to have been renovated with a pleasant common room. My room was much older with a small but adequate bathroom. Very good value for a short stay

Great location, good staff. It was a bit noisy at night, and the bed was not the most comfortable, and the shower went from hot to cold, and back again. But it was reasonable for the cost.

The Hostal is centrally situated, across the street from the city Hall. The reception is at the 3rd floor, rooms from 3rd to 5th. It is outdated, the furniture and the floor în the room, the tiles in the bathroom are old and in obvious sufferance; the shower in 503 is leaking. The common spaces received a face lift, so the first impression is positive (before entering the room). It is overpriced, I payed 90 euros for one night (17/18 sept), including breakfast; maybe because of the film festival running these days (?). Anyway, what made me furious happened next day, în the morning, at breakfast, when I noticed that ALL THE MUFFINS WERE 2 WEEKS EXPIRED . The breakfast was very poor and badly served ( slow, waiting minutes for a new small plate of cheese or ham or yoghurt, because the person who serves was handling also the reception and preparing a buffet breakfast is not one of his talents), the tea/ coffee cups are white outside and beige inside, but...it's a Hostal, not a hotel. All the other tourists were seniors, needing glasses to read anything, so the staff member was surprised to be asked " what is this"? And he answered " this is a muffin"! Understanding that a better answer is expected, he said " it's a mistake". Maybe the guy just arranged on the table what another one prepared, but serving EXPIRED food is inacceptabie, no matter what! It's no mistake, this is the "Modus operandi" of this Hostal. Stat away from this fraud!

Excellent! Very courteous and helpful front desk really nice location and very clean and quiet also great price.
