Santander is not a very big town and everything is at pretty much walkable distance, yet the place is centric, near the bar and restaurant area. The beds are spacious and the curtains allow to have some privacy and the staff was helpful and very kind.

Antonio is the most joyful man I have encountered on this journey! He beams with pride as he showed us around the hostel and gave us great directions to join up on the Camino the next morning.

If you want remote and super rural, this is definitely the place for you. Far away from any population centers, it's set in the hilly southwest section of pastoral Cantabria. Self-built over 4 years by owner Cris, her husband, and a friend, it's obviously a labor of love. Very rustic, yet comfortable and modern, it's like living in your own mountain cabin. Excellent views, dormitory rooms (each with a loft), one private room, guest kitchen, wood stove, wood interior and furniture -- you'll love it. They can accommodate 20 guests and the price is cheap! (I paid €17 in late October). And, for that price, Cris comes up from her home in the nearby village and prepares breakfast. Mine was toast with jam and tomato spread, hot drinks, fresh fruit and nuts from the trees outside, local butter, and good conversation. Notably, she did this even though I was the only guest! This part of Cantabria, Soba, has lots of outdoor activities, including caving. If you like extreme rural, don't miss Albergue Soba. I drove 15 km of poorly paved farm road by turning off CA-662. If you don't enjoy that the way I do, approach from CA-256 instead.

This hostel is run by a family, and they are incredibly kind. The host checked in with me personally daily, even with a significant language barrier (unfortunately my Spanish is not great). The bed and pillows were comfortable. Each shared room had lockers with a lock provided. Access to the property was very easy, and there was plenty of parking. The location was pretty central to a lot of sites around Cantabria and Basque Country, so even though i had to drive a lot it felt better than moving hostels every day.

Ángel greeted us at reception and was so kind and helpful! The location of the hostel is amazing, everything is in walking distance and it’s located next to the train station. The hostel itself was very clean and had a super cute common area as well. Everything felt super safe and they were beyond kind and accommodating!!

One of the best hostels I have ever stayed in. Wasn't too busy so we had a room to ourselves. The staff were extremely nice and were helpful in giving us lots of recommendations. The garden is really nice and a great place to have dinner or lunch. The bathrooms are well-equipped and are kept very clean. The location is very good, a beautiful town that is very close to the picos de europa (you can get the bus to fuente de to get the cable car).

Staff are brilliant and super helpful with my broken Spanish. The place was clean, comfy and inviting. Sockets and storage for every bunk is a fantastic feature which not many hostels have and it’s also one of the cheapest. A friend recommended this place to me and they where absolutely right to do so.

Overall, a good place to stay on a low budget trip. Located in the heart of Cantabria, between Potes and Picos de Europa, this place seemed perfect for our weekend getaway. The staff were friendly and helpful and gave us advice on places to visit during our stay. Breakfast was simple but okay. The hostel is a bit old and unfortunately the room had a strong musty smell which made our stay less comfortable.

Exactly what you want from a hostel - cheap, clean, and the owner was very friendly and helpful. Free breakfast was basic but a nice and pleasant gesture.

i had a wonderful stay here. Beatrix was so kind and helped me with my Spanish. Everything was perfectly clean! Big lockers. Plenty of hooks to hang towels and clothes. The kitchen was very well equipped. I found the beds really comfortable. Felt safe as a solo female traveler. I walked everywhere, Santander is very walkable and the hostel’s location was pretty central. 10 min walk from bus stop (I got the bus from airport).
