"Conditioner and shampoo in the bathroom would be better. Daniel found me some conditioner from another guest, which was great. On a map, he detailed so many places to go and it was wonderful! The bed was a little hard and the single blanket we found not quite enough for comfort. Local juice, fruit, yogurt and cake were lovely gifts! Towels and shower were gorgeous. Check out time is severe. It was a problem to be two minutes late!"

"The best thing about this hotel is definitely the staff—they are amazing! Everyone was extremely friendly, helpful, and welcoming throughout our stay. The biggest downside is the location. The hotel is quite far from the city center, which can be very inconvenient, especially if you plan on spending most of your time sightseeing and exploring the main attractions. Overall, the staff really made the experience a positive one, but I would definitely consider the distance from the city center when booking."

"The Citrea is a lovely hotel in Santander. A short walk from the Modern Art Museum (not the Botin Centre) and the town hall and the bus station, through the tunnel. Having been to Santander we knew this wasn't far so no issues. The room was cozy, but had plenty of storage cupboards. The air conditioning was absolutely needed in the heat of the summer, would go again just for this. The staff were fantastic, supporting us with every ask and arranged a late checkout on our departure day."

"This classic hotel right on the beach at Santander is definitely the place to stay. We had a sea view and it is wonderful looking at the constant activity on the beach. It has obviously been updated but maintains its period grandeur, however some details are still a little dated. Buffet breakfast was only OK, they had run out of natural yoghurts and we weren’t even there so late and told me that they would have some more the next day! The waiter did find us cuajada, which was appreciated. It’s in the centre of the bars and other Sardinero life"
