My time at the hostel has been lovely. Angel and Andrea were very welcoming from the beginning, making every effort to help us feel comfortable and at home. They're always open to listening to any concerns or complaints you have, and they often give advice and recommendations for the city to enjoy your stay as much as you can. The schedule is very fair and clearly communicated and it allows for a lot of free time to explore santander. I'm grateful for my time with the hostel💛 I would stay longer if I could.

My experience here was absolutely fantastic! The hostel itself has a great vibe, social but chill, and the location is perfect. Angel and Andrea - the staff, are incredibly kind people who made me feel right at home. I'll never forget the amazing people I got to meet here, and I'll for sure return to Santander. Thank you for everything!

La señorita "Klarita" has been amazing in every single way. Always smiling, ready to help and a lovely constant desire to learn and improve her Spanish (which by the way... is excellent) I really wish you the best of everything for the new challenges that you will be facing soon. We miss you so much Klarita.... Now you are member of the SCH´s family... Hope we will see you again, anytime you want to visit us again. Hasta Siempre !!!

This was my first experience and I was lucky to go there. Angel is quite an emotional person but he was always trying to help us with whatever we needed. He has a great sense of humor. The hostel is very clean and cozy place and our room was charming. The tasks were easy with clear schedule. It wasn't a busy month but I had the opportunity to meet and talk to travelers from various cultures. I was with tree other sweet volunteer girls who contributed to my well spent time. Santander for me was really unexpected destination but it turned to be the best decision to go there. I am so grateful!

My stay in Santander went over way too fast. The working hours were fair but what I really loved about it was the atmosphere of the hostel; the common room was really cozy and I met a lot of international travelers or pilgrims who walk the camino. Andrea (the woman at the reception) was such a sweetheart, always explaining everything very understandable. I do actually recommend you to at least know the basics in spanish as it was sometimes hard communicating with the older spanish customers. Angel is a bit crazy (🐔) but funny and he always motivates you to enjoy your stay to the fullest!

I truly enjoyed my first Worldpackers experience 😊. Angel really wants you to have an amazing time in Santander - he always respects the fair working hours, he is flexible with who takes which shift and the tasks are easy to learn. I had a lot of time to explore the city, relax at the beach, socialize with hostel guests and improve my Spanish skills (particularly in the evening shifts with Andrea). Andrea and Angel also helped a lot with finding local places to visit. I also liked that we were two volunteers - We got along very well 😊. I am really grateful for the last 4 weeks. Thank you

I had a wonderful time at the hostel. Angel was a great host, always recommending things to do around Santander and helping the volunteers get accommodated to the hostel and the area. The hours were fair and the volunteer room is cozy. The hostel in general is super clean and comfortable, and really felt like home during the time I stayed. I had a great time meeting guests and exploring the surrounding area- Santander has a lot to offer! I would definitely recommend this hostel, it's a great experience where you'll learn a lot and meet many new people from all over.

My experience at the hostel was truly amazing. The hours of work were always respected so that we had the rest of the day to explore the city and the beaches. Angel is a great host with a great energy and big heart and he really brought a cool energy to the place.

This was my first worldpackers experience and I could not have asked for more. I spend my days exploring Santander (and surfing in Somo:)), learning Spanish, meeting kind people and enjoying local food/drinks. Within these six weeks I truly feel like I've become part of the SCH-family. Thank you Angel and Andrea for all of the wonderful conversations, your insights and tipps for Santander and always being there, if needed. See you next time!
