Reviews for Hotel Maria Cristina, a Luxury Collection Hotel, San Sebastian
7 star elegance
Just had a glorious 4 nights at the Maria Christina hotel. Having accumulated almost 1000 nights with Marriott Bonvoy around the world, it’s difficult to be overawed with any hotel but this hotel delivers on every metric that is important to travelers seeking luxury and elegance. From the moment we arrived and the Delightful Patricia greeted us, we were loving every moment of returning to this marvellous hotel. Here are the positives. 1. Front desk staff, especially Patricia with her warm smile and professional approach were perfect. 2. Rooms are elegant, quiet, and beds super comfortable. 3. Location is the best in San Sebastián. 5 minutes walk to the train station, bus station, Gros district, new town district and old town district. Pintxos bars, cafes, 5 star restaurants all are close by. 4. Fitness centre excellent. 5. Breakfast is beyond excellent. Service perfect, and buffet choice typically Spanish and plentiful, but the alacarte defies belief. So many choices such as omelettes with truffle or spider crab. Eggs Benedict were perfect too. 6. The lobby, the cafe, and the little gourmet shop adjoining the hotel are beautiful. 7. The staff. Everyone has a typical Spanish warmth, smile and professional approach. All this led by a very personable GM, Rafael who makes himself available to guests and leads by example. This is our fourth return to the Maria Christina and it keeps on getting better and better if that is possible. We will return and never hesitate to recommend the MC to our friends and colleagues.

Wonderful Stay
Absolutely gorgeous hotel! We had a wonderful stay at the hotel and loved every minute in San Sebastian. We arrived in the evening and had a very smooth check-in process. The hotel is in a perfect location for sightseeing and has a very friendly team. This was a great stop on our visit in Basque country.

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.
