We were able to check in early. Location is great - right by the beach and walkable to everything. We were lucky to get a corner room, which was quieter and private and had a little balcony. We ended up staying another day. Good value for money.

Great Location, steps to the water, beautiful area. The staff/owner was EXTREMELY helpful and friendly! I needed enclosed parking and they went out of their way to help me secure the perfect parking place. I wish them great success!

David Spain

It would be better to see a display of choices for breakfast Excellent parking facility available which was our main reason for choosing the San Cristobel over other local hotel

Robert Spain

Clean, simple , affordable and a great location and value.

i liked the breakfast, my sister, who does not drink coffee or like tomatoes thought less of it. i appreciated they asked if you wanted '1/2' portion of 'toast' and 'w/cheese & tomato' or 'just cheese' (when i saw that this was indeed a baguette 'sandwich') as indeed, a full one was QUITE generous. the view from our breakfast table was worth the rather long walk from the city bus station the afternoon before. we were also, it seems, fairly near the pretty antique back streets of Almunecar AND a lovely stroll along the beach at night provided numerous restaurant options.

Very nice and helpful staff .Ideal location, very clean and spacious room.

Julie United Kingdom

Excellent experience! My booking was last minute as my flight was delayed and I came in the middle of the night. I've got info where the keys are and the number to call in case of emergency. The room was great and I was sorry I couldn't stay longer. Directly on the beach, you can hear the wawes :)

Sasa Slovenia

Like the location, near the beach and old town. Restaurants nearby. Quite clean.
