“What struck me is its location-smack in Santander's heart, mere steps from the train station; the rooms themselves offer a modern, air-conditioned respite, and the pet-friendly policy is a real boon for travelers with furry companions. A high-quality breakfast is a great way to start the day exploring the nearby Centro Botin. All considered, it's a practical choice.”
