The hotel was located in a great location, close to the waterfront and sights. We had to leave the window open for air, so it was pretty noisy during the night. The breakfast was good and the staff friendly.

Ideal central location overlooking plaza Pombo.

Hotel is on 3rd floor of an old fashioned building. There is a lift but I liked the polished mahogany stairs (very clean). Our room was also clean with a wooden floor and a new bathroom. It was only 50€. Breakfast was only toast and cake and coffee but it was included in price. Very good cafe nearby. I read some poor reviews which I didn't agree with

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Great location but the room was bad. The bathroom is basically a closet added in the corner of the room and the plumbing is messed up. Run the water in the sink, to brush teeth or shave, and the waste water bubbles up from the drain in the shower. The bigger problem is the shower doesn't drain and before long you are standing ankle deep in water that will soon overflow into the room if you don't turn off the flow and wait for the drain to catch up. I know it is Europe and a different culture and all, but the owner seemed genuinely annoyed when we showed up. I am no princess, I can handle rustic conditions and I prefer the small operations, but this one just had too many negatives. My advice: try something else.

Traditional building in the centre of Santander

This pension style B & B was in an old building overlooking a square and therefore provided a traditional kind of overnight experience. (We actually spent 2 nights there.) There were sometimes problems getting the rather ancient lift to open when it was already at your floor. The B & B was on the 3rd floor and this was the only way to access it. However I found the place a pleasant change from the more bland hotel we often find, almost like living in a Spanish person's home, and the manager was very pleasant (he had little English by the way.) Breakfast was included and was substantial. The place was clean and surprisingly peaceful, having only a few other guests.

Great location on the main plaza

We had a great time at Plaza Pombo. The owners of the pension are very nice, friendly and helpful. The location is fantastic, right on one of the main plazas in the restaurant district. There are 20+ fantastic pincho bars in the surrounding streets. From the room you can watch the locals mill around and children play in the plaza below. There is no problem with noise when trying to sleep tho. The beach is a beautiful 20 min walk along the coast. The room itself was fairly basic but funcitional. But then the price was very good compared to others in the area, so we were very happy.

Well located and comfortable stay

This is a very well located basic pension with a view on to Plaza Pombo, the main square in the city. Ultimately you get what you pay for with a shared bathroom and no A/C but the couple who own the B&B are lovely and the breakfast exceeded expectation.

Brilliant find

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Plaza Plombo, it is on the third floor of a big old building with a quaint lift and wooden floors and staircase. Spotlessly clean room, comfortable bed. The owners were welcoming and friendly.Breakfast was always a cake or pastry, fruit ,and toast and preserves, beautifully presented. It is 10 minutes walk from the ferry port, and just a few minutes walk from the sea-front with a lovely promenade which has plenty of seats and ice-cream stalls! The room overlooked a square where children played happily till late in the evening, It felt very safe and a happy town to be in, surrounded by lovely scenery.

Plaza Pombo

Accomodation was ok for the money. Room was clean but decor was a bit tatty. Breakfast was only a tea, coffee juice and a pastry. Great central location in Santander close to all the nightlife but can be noisey at night over the weekends. Served as a good cheap base but that's about it !

Nice location, but no parking or access by car

The hotel was reasonably clean and comfortable, but it has no car park and it cannot be accessed by car.Clients have to try and find street parking near by, which is difficult, and then carry luggage on foot. It is in a good location overlooking a nice, pedestrianised square with sea views betwwen the building opposite. There are also lots of nice bars and cafes nearby. Breakfast consisted of one glass of juice, one cup of tea or coffee and a piece of plain sponge cake.

Lovely B & B right in the heart of Santander

We stayed for 3 nights in April. Weather wasn't good but we really enjoyed our stay. Lovely old building. B & B on 3rd floor. There was a lift which was great. Very nice people running it. Breakfast was very nice - lovely pastries one morning, parma and bread the next and then lovely toasted croissants the last morning. Rooms very clean. Even though there was only two of us we got a family room which had three beds. The double room our friends had was much nicer. Very central location. Plenty of restaurants and bars in the area. I love Santander. If you go make sure to hire the bikes and get down to the beautiful beaches.

Majoitusta keskellä kaupunkia

Majoitus on vanhan talon huoneistossa. Aamiaishuone henkii vanhaa hienoa tunnelmaa. Huone on karumpi, meillä taisi olla paikan vaatimattomin ja pienin huone: kapea parisänky, vino kaappi... mutta hintakin oli edullinen. Jaettu kylpyhuone ja vessa oli ihan ok. Paikka on keskellä kaupunkia ja ainakin viikonloppuisin kaduilta kuuluu ääniä sisälle. Uimarannoille on jonkin verran matkaa.

Møkkete sengetøy

Rommet skulle være med 2 enkeltsenger eller dobbeltseng. De var utsolgt for enkeltsenger, så vi fikk dobbeltseng. Sengen var hard og hadde på et møkkete dyne/laken. Var også delt pute i tillegg til delt dyne i den smale dobbeltsengen. Frokosten var god med toast og egg. Service var også god og hyggerlig betjening
