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.

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..

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.

Absolute gem of an hotel.
An absolute gem of an hotel. Very well situated in city centre with lots of bars and restaurants around in very close proximity. Please note, there is no bar in this hotel even though Hotels.com say that there on the hotel information but there isn't and there never has been so don't know where hotels.com get there info from. Hotel was very clean, room was very clean, bed very comfortable, excellent bathroom. Staff were excellent and very friendly and helpful at all times. Couldn't fault this hotel at all. We caught the bus from airport to city centre and hotel is right next to bus station, very close to port for ferry's and very close to train station. Bus runs every 40 minutes. Also caught bus back to airport, only a 10 minute ride. Definitely recommend hotel abba santander and if i ever go back to santander that is where I'll stay.

Lovely hotel will stay again.
Loved this hotel! Santander is a beautiful city. Was very busy while we were there as festival at the weekend. Loved this hotel in great location just outside the old town and right next to the bus station where airport bus drops off. Our room was on 3rd floor and had big windows and lottle balcony but with windows closed no noise from traffic or street Room was very spacious ans modern with free bottled water and coffee machine as well as kettle and fridge.

The hotel is right next to the ferry terminal. We asked the staff for some information about the ferry (namely where do foot passengers go for the Portsmouth ferry) and they had no idea. They gave us the wrong information. They have probably been asked this a hundred times. For goodness sakes, have a bit of curiousity and find out what the situation is! Foot passengers can enter at the ferry terminal across the street they DO NOT have to walk 1km down the orad and then back 1km behind the fence. Otherwise the hotel was fine.
