5 night stay in santander

A pleasant enough stay at the Rio Silken, a 5 night break mainly as a base for the football in Bilbao! Room was fine, bed was comfy for good nights rest, and the staff more than helpful and responsive.

We had a greak room wirh a balcony facing the sea. The breakfast was excellent and the staff service was outstanding. The onlycomplaint that we had was that the air conditioning was not working properly and we were not able to bring the room temperature below 25 C making it unbearable to have a good night sleep. We finillay opened the window to tge sea andwe finallyhot some relief.
