Reviews for Hotel Maria Cristina, a Luxury Collection Hotel, San Sebastian
Always an amazing experience!
We love this hotel! This is one of our favorites hotels in whole world! We were greeted warmly at check in by Julia and were pleasantly surprised to find out that we had been upgraded to a beautiful room 316 (amazing suite!) The staff is always amazing from housekeeping to concierge to bar staff to breakfast staff. For example at the Concierge, Minerva gave us some great new ideas as we had been to San Sebastian numerous times and all of her suggestions were amazing. She recommended Eduardo Chillida musuem and we loved it; excellent suggestion! Breakfast staff also are amazing and breakfast always is a highlight and this time once again we were left satisfied. Alesandro and Yescia (dont know if this is correct spelling she is a wonderful Peruvian woman) were all attentive and friendly. Lastly one cant come here and not enjoy a wonderful drink at the Dry San Sebastian Bar and once again service and drinks were superb! Luca was friendly and great. Highly recommend!

Treat yourself, you're worth it!
At a hotel like this, you expect the beds to be comfortable, the decor to be tasteful (maybe a little fussier than you'd want at home, but fun to visit). And you get all that in a great room in a location that cannot be beat. You wouldn't expect the internet to be rock solid. Or the incredible friendliness of everyone you will talk to or just pass in the hall. The hospitality is amazing, without ever feeling forced. A special shout out to the fantastic concierge team -- when our flight was cancelled they were able to help us sort a car service on short notice, while it was pouring rain. Somehow they manage miracles, with a genuine smile. This has been and will continue to be our go to hotel in San Sebastian.

A really lovely pre-arrival experience
We do aim for outstanding hotels in lovely or interesting locations and when expectations are exceeded this makes a long journey so worthwhile. That is when I just have to post a review. However Concierge Mariana Rodriguez has been so excellent in the week before we have even arrived this review is just about pre-arrival service and I will update it later. Hotels tend to be so occupied with existing guests that this level of service and thoughtful consideration is the exception. I will be editing this short review after my stay with an update. Mariana started off after first reaching out to me well over a week before our arrival by arranging an excellent transfer from our hotel in the city which we are visiting first, being an S class Mercedes. She has since put in a considerable effort with slightly complicated restaurant booking arrangements including for my wife's birthday. We were also pre-warned by Mariana about a major event in the city on our day of departure which could affect arrangements transferring to the airport. This is the first Relais & Chateau Hotel we have booked for quite some time. We used to book them regularly 30 years ago especially throughout France and they were always special. When a hotel is this good in advance, the anticipation of a lovely trip is heightened.

A MUST to stay!
We had the best time in San Sebastian, and definitely our stay at Maria Cristina was unforgettable! We made yearly visits to various European cities and by far Maria Cristina @ San Sebastian wins hands down! The warmth, smiles and greetings from the doormen, to reception, to breakfast restaurant were ever so friendly and welcoming. The waitresses at the restaurant always remembered our favourite drinks and our breakfast items that we ate consecutively for 3-4 days. Our beds were warm and inviting. Our room temperature were perfect and can be easily controlled within the room. We had absolutely no complaints of any sorts whatsoever. It was just perfect! Thank you, Maria Cristina! We hope to be back again!

THE BEST HOTEL IN SAN SEBASTIAN
WOW. This hotel is beyond exceptional. It was very expensive, but worth every penny. We were greeted at the door with champagne and the staff could not have treated us any better. The room was exceptional and the this was a 5 star experience all the way around.
