"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."
"Great location within walking distance to beach eateries and concert venue. Staff very informative and nothing too much trouble . Well trained staff efficiently doing there jobs. Breakfast choices were never ending so variety over our stay was very a joy ."
"The main problem encountered was finding the corridor that the rooms were on. We weren't the only new guests searching! Better signage needed.
Shower drain was blocked, but dealt with within a few minutes of reporting, then no further problems."
"Good hotel in an excellent position. Staff are extremely pleasant and obliging and the food is very good. Our room was clean and quite spacious but I felt that the bathroom and balcony were beginning to look a little tired, something we didn't experience on our stay last year."
"The room was very clean and comfortable. The pool was nice and refreshing. The front desk staff especially Daniel were very kind and welcoming. Enjoyed my stay."
