One of the best in San Sebastian!

Overall this was a fantastic hotel to stay in, first the pro's: - very comfortable room and bed - Alejo, the front desk / concierge manager is WONDERFUL. He and his team went above and beyond to make sure we made the most of our stay (set us up with private autos, reservations, great restaurant suggestions, etc) The not so good: - no a la carte breakfast, either pay 90 Euros for buffet or starve - shower leaked onto the ground no matter what we tried to stop it from doing so. All in all, great place to stay, excellent location, exceptional staff.

It is easy to understand why the Hotel Maria Cristina is an iconic hotel. We arrived to a very kind and very professional greeting. The valet service is very strong. The lobby is truly spectacular. The rooms are amazing. The areas throughout the hotel are incredible. The team is first rate and were very helpful throughout our stay. The hotel is perfectly situated and is in close proximity to every key area. We fell in love with San Sebastian and so we look forward to returning to the Hotel Maria Cristina. Thank you!!
