Great location next to bus station, good breakfast friendly staff, unfortunately no international TV stations available in bedroom which was mentioned during stay. Shops and restaurants with one good Italian nearby. Lovely promenade area with golden sandy beaches further along within reach.

Excellent breakfast. Great location. Smaller room but very comfortable bed.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

I chose this place for its proximity to the bus station as I had an early flight to catch the following morning, and it couldn't have been closer - all I had to do was cross the road! Also, I was wishing I was staying here longer than one night, as it was the nicest place I stayed in on my trip (probably the most expensive too, but we won't dwell on that ;)) My room was spacious and clean and I loved the decor and colours. The shower was nice and hot (once I'd worked out how to use it) and the bed was large and comfy. My only complaint was that I wasn't really warm enough under the thin sheet provided and had to put the velvet throw (that I think was just meant to be decorative) over me too. There's a bit of traffic noise, but nothing major.

would like say that ,my stay at the Abba was way beyond my expectations: I especially appreciated the kind assistance offered by your staff: SRA Virginia helped me in many ways including getting me on a wonderful tour to Comillas and assistance with communications which are difficult for a 93 year old like me::::Excellent breakfast and room: Iwill recommend Abba hotels to friends and hope to return soo:

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.

Not feel value for money

150 euro for very old and dirty carpet, old furniture, seems strange. Towels and sheets were clean.Bathroom seem like renovate, but all another as for this price is not relevant. Hotel has one advantage- location

10/10 Exceptional

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..

Staff were very friendly. Very convenient location. Did not like the dark decor and dim lighting. Did not like cushions with no practical use. We had to stack them on the floor as there was no other space.
