What an incredible experience staying at the Hotel Maria Cristina—truly the crown jewel of our time in San Sebastián. The stunning breakfast buffet was a daily delight, and the front desk manager went above and beyond by sending champagne to help us celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. As Virtuoso travelers and Platinum Elite Marriott members, they were kind to give us an incredible uprgraded room. From the moment we walked in, we felt like we were living in a palace. We enjoyed evening cocktails at the hotel bar, including one of the best Moscow mules we've ever had! Our sincere thanks to the entire team—the gracious front desk manager, the dapper and courteous concierge, the talented bartender, and the warm and attentive breakfast staff—for making this such a special and unforgettable stay.

The Maria Cristina is a lovely hotel in the central region of the lively town. An ideal location for a visit to San Sebastian. Great location to walk to everything - the beach (la Concha), old town, everywhere. The hotel has a very elegant feel — rich and luxurious. But somehow not very friendly or welcoming - a bit aloof. (Particularly for Spain which is otherwise so warm.) The rooms are nice and well sound proofed. Oddly shaped and the bathroom a bit on the small side. The bed is not very comfortable. Overall, it was nice but not exceptionally so. Perhaps we were biased by the fact that in our previous visit (which oddly they did not seem to know about) we had an exceptional room. And this time we had a nice/adequate room.

Outstanding hotel reeking of history which makes it special and they back it up with a fantastic team, great restaurants and a cool cocktail bar. We enjoyed the Saigon restaurant and the cocktail bar in particular and breakfast was fantastic. Right up there with the St Regis Venice as a go to place.

One of the nicest hotels I’ve ever stayed in the staff are all a credit to the Hotel, especially on front of desk / concierge area. The room was lovely and clean and very comfortable. Great shower in the bathroom. Breakfast is also highly recommended. Hope to be back as soon as possible, thank you all.
