Hostal La Mexicana  

In the heart of Santander’s historic center on Juan de Herrera Street, Hostal La Mexicana puts you steps from train and bus stations and a short walk to Santander Cathedral, Mercado La Esperanza and the ferry terminal. Museo Botín, the Maritime Museum, the Magdalena Peninsula and city beaches are all easy to reach—some just minutes away by foot or a quick 5-minute bus ride.

Housed in a mid-century property that began in Palacio Macho and fully renovated in 2003, the hostal offers 38 individually decorated rooms with private bathrooms. Rooms come with desks, blackout drapes and complimentary toiletries; some feature bathtubs and city-view windows perfect for morning coffee. Staff are friendly and multilingual, and there’s an elevator for easier access.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi keeps you connected. Enjoy a buffet/continental breakfast, grab coffee with city views, or order room service. There’s a TV in the common area, a tour desk and transfer booking, a nearby gym with discounts, and a beach shuttle available for a surcharge—ideal for quick seaside escapes and easy sightseeing.

Complimentary wireless internet, luggage storage and a safe-deposit box at the front desk. Concierge and multilingual staff can help arrange transfers or local bookings, and the property offers access to a nearby banquet hall for events.

An appetizing continental buffet breakfast is served daily (typically 8:00–10:00, for a fee). Sip coffee at your window and watch the city wake up, or use room service when you prefer to dine in.
