United States of AmericaThis is my second time to stay in Hotel Maria Cristina. It’s both elegant and well located. The staff is amazing and service was exceptional.
PhilippinesSan Sebastian is one of the most beautiful cities in Spain and this hotel brings all of Europe’s old world beauty into a wonderfully modern environment. Everyone at the hotel clearly loves their city and does everything possible to be welcoming. The beauty of the location is breathtaking. Every restaurant suggested was amazing.
United States of AmericaBeautiful property, sell-maintained and superb staff. Truly first rate.
Hong KongSuperior hotel, room was beautiful, service was tops, and the concierge is a Clef d'Or and managed to secure us reservations to a three star Michelin restaurant with 48 hours notice, and the location is RIGHT next to the beach, Monte Urgull, the old town, and, if you're coming from Bilbao, the bus terminal. This is an elite hotel that is shockingly good value in an amazing location in an incredible city, and you should stay here.
