Abba Santander - Santander, Spain 

Spotless modern comfy room, great bathroom. Good TV with decent range of channels. All staff exceptionally helpful, all english-speaking, but that was more than easy for Simon who worked in the bar and breakfast room as he's english! Super guy and very helpful with finding our way around and for ideas on where to go. He speaks spanish as well as he speaks english. Good variety for breakfast. Wifi access in bar/reception area, works out about 5euros for 45 non-consecutive minutes, although we did manage to pick up a signal most days in our room from local networks..although they were slow and unreliable so best to pay for the hotel option. 3mins walk from Brittany Ferries terminal, 1 min bus and train stations. Excellent double glazing in room meant little noise despoite our room overlooking the bus terminals. Hairdryer and aircon. No evening meals but Hotel Bahia 5mins away does a good evening set menu for about 20euros each inc' wine. There's also a chinese opposite the bus station too (on opposite side of road to hotel lobby entrance, about 100 yrs towards train stations), very good decent meal. Lots of cafe's/outdoor eateries nearby and 2mins walk to all the great shops.
