The location is very central. The room was clean and the staff were friendly. Having stayed here two years ago, the breakfast has improved with much more variety of typical continental breakfast foodstuffs than the previous bread roll and cup of coffee. As others have noted, the biggest problem is the noise of the creaky floors and the flapping of... More

We booked this hotel as they advertised wifi in all the rooms. Not once did we get a signal and beyond resettting the router once which did not fix the problem, the staff were unwilling to help. The floors were also very noisy so you would hear thumping through the night. Don't go if you want wifi. More

The hotel although conveniently located offers bad value for money for 120 euros you don't expect bad smells, old rooms and unfriendly personnel More

I booked this hotel over the phone an hour before I checked-in, based on a recommendation in the Lonely Planet, for one night. I was in a hired car and found the hotel quiet difficult to find, given Santander's one-way streets and all I had was a small map. Suggest taking good directions if travelling by car or a dependable... More

We arrived late at night but received a warm welcome (once we'd negotiated the one way system!). We had room 602 which is a standard room but has a huge terrace with superb views across the bay and city. No hotel parking but public parking very close. We actually left the car there for 36 hours which cost us 25... More

Hotel Central, Santander With a small foyer the rooms are accessed by an old rickety lift (elevator). The decorations while ok are nothing to write home about, whereas the breakfast is particularly plain stingy to the extent of charging for additional cups of coffee. The poorest we had in Northern Spain. The building is painted a bizarre dark blue, but... More

We arrived on an early flight and hoped to leave our bags at the hotel until our room was ready. However we were delighted to be able to check in straight away. Our room was pleasant and large, not luxurious, but perfect for us. Best of all it had an enormous terrace with a fantastic view over the rooftops. We... More

We stayed at Hotel Central for five days, beginning on 5/25/05. This hotel is in the heart of Santander, Spain. It's just a block or two away from the main downtown shopping district, so it's very convenient. A couple good grocery stores are nearby, if you're in the mood for a picnic or a quick snack. The ocean/bay is about... More
