Hotel Citrea Santander

Hotel Citrea Santander

8/10 Good
"The hotel was well-located and the beds were comfortable. The Standard room is quite small but had a bump out balcony with a table. There was also a small refrigerator. The night stands were too small to hold our CPAP machines. Beds were comfortable. We did not include breakfast. Overall we felt the price was high. We are now in a five star hotel in Oviedo for 20% less which includes an excellent breakfast"
