It has 5 stars on its own

The best and better way to enjoy San Sebastián only complete by walking around trying the pinchos and tapas. Very unique city

Oh my gosh, this has to be one of my favorite hotels ever. Our holiday consisted of Barcelona, San Sebastián and Marrakech. This hotel was the most memorable of our stay. It’s so luxurious and perfectly situated in the heart of the city.

Unfortunately we didn't stay here, but we did eat here twice during our visit. The decor is beautiful, wonderful soft furnishings. The staff were extremely attentive. The food and wine were very nice and very reasonable for such a terrific venue and super location. Would highly recommend lunch or a quite pizza and good wine.

This hotel shines in its elegance. The hotel is very well appointed with artwork galore. From the lobby to the rooms everything is done well. The rooms are large with high ceilings and some rooms have small balconies. The bathrooms are equally as large with a separate tub and shower. I found the service to be exquisite. If given the option between points and breakfast go for the opulent breakfast featuring customized omelets and muliple other stations.

5 * hotel situated in a great location. Staff were friendly and professional. The hotel and room was spotless and a great deal of attention de detail had been made. Would recommend

Great location. Walking distant to the old town so you can get Pintxos anytime! The service was excellent and the room was well decorated and comfortable. Overall a very pleasant stay.

We loved the hotel, from the impressive public spaces to the elegantly decorated and spacious rooms.

The staff were attentive and willing to please.

The view from our room was the cherry on the cake.

I have no doubt I will want to stay here again, should I come back to San Sebastián!

We stayed for 2 nights and it was unforgettable! The stafff is no nice and provide fine service! The room, the breakfast buffet and the restaurants are above everything in San Sebastian! Highly recommended!

Stunning hotel and the pinacle of your stay in San Sebastian.. The staff are very helpful and Ned the general manager was fantastic and made our stay memorable. Much appreciated and thank you everyone.. Highly recommend this hotel for your San Sebastian experience.

Fabulous hotel and great quality of service. We flagged we were on honeymoon and got offered a bottle of bubbly - still got the “Mr & Mrs” on welcome letter though. We also enjoyed stunning cocktails (Lost In Translation is a must have - per picture) at the bar

Super hotel, super location, very high class rooms, excellent staff

Nice location for bar hopping and beautiful room

Arrived and there was a problem with my room, so as a good will gesture I was offered the Betty Davies suite, all to myself. The hotel itself is very grand, and the staff that run the hotel are absolutely excellent, warm and friendly, and I advise anyone who stays to make a friend of the staff, as a little local knowledge can go along way, and new friends are always welcome.

Beautifully decorated hotel in the city center, next to the river! Service was SUPER! You can borrow their bicycle to go around the city as well. Very very comfortable bed, their amenities from Byredo were top-notch! A total relaxing stay, I Recommend Recommend Recommend!! Do not stay elsewhere but here when in San Sebastian :))))))

Beautiful hotel. Staff are amazing. The food is outstanding. The breakfast is out of this world too.

Amazing service , great food, concierge service was top notch!

Great hotel to spend a night and visit the city. Great service, better staff, great views, and there are many things to choose for breakfast.

Exceptional execution of executive elegance. Breakfast buffet was excellent. Beds were large and comfortable. The towel racks were heated, need I saw more?

This hotel might have been the most amazing hotel we have ever stayed at. I cant even begin to describe all of the amazing things that were part of this experience. One word of caution if they help you make reservations some restaurants in the area (Michelin Stars) may charge you if you have to cancel the reservation.

If 6 stars were possible, I would give them! What a beautiful hotel and what an amazing service from start to finish! From the moment we arrived in our car, tired from a long trip, everything run so smoothly. Personnel was so friendly and all went the extra mile. The hotelroom was bigger than my first apartment and so clean and all kinds of extra amenities. Dinner in the Asian restaurant was delicious and breakfast more than you could wish for! This hotel knows what 'service' is. An absolute 6-star hotel!

Super friendly people. Great service and breakfast

Amazing wedding venue. All of the hotel staff was incredibiliy accommodating. The views from outside the balcony during sundown were breathtaking and added another layer of elegance to the wedding.

Stunning hotel iN San Sebastián. Impressive lobby and restaurant/bar spaces, plus the most comfortable bed ever. Friendly, caring team. Lots to discover. True five-star experience, well worth the splurge.

Attention to detail and amazing staff that go out of their way to make your stay wonderful. Wait staff at breakfast attentive, happy and friendly. Concierge great with details and room services much quicker than anywhere else we have been. Worth it!!!!

Great located in the city center of San Sebastián. We were in a wedding and the food was delicious, even if the waitting times between dishes was a bit slow...but the quality of the food worth it :) All staff was helpfull all the time and I felt as they enjoyed working in this amaizing place!

Hotel Maria Cristina is an amazing place to hqve some drinks. The attention the waiters give you is as great as it corresponds to the 5 star hotel the bar is in. The price, of course is quite high, but it's worth it for the delicious drinks and the quality of service given.

The only 5-star hotel in San Sebastian, it was originally the home of Queen Maria Cristina (1882-1902). It retains bullet damage from the 1932 civil war, and has one wing that became private residences when the owners had to raise money during a financial crisis. It has the Michelin Star restaurant Helene Darroze where food and wine will cost €150 and up per person.

Great hotel and great guest services. I actually saw a valet run after a taxi for an entire block because a hotel guest left behind a package. Guest services at its best!!

Luxury. Central location. Excellent service. Fantastic food.

A fine mix between Faulty towers and what I would guess is luxury by Donald Trumph. Only been in the bar, twice. They do their best to appear upper class, but seem a bit to clumsy to play out the act. Don't misunderstand. It is an extremely kind, warm and accessible posh bar for normal folks. I highly recommend it, but it also puts a smile on your face because of the above. Ordered a GT based on Monkey 47. The waiter poured 20% of the bootle in my glass, so even with the price off €17 it was good value

Beautiful hotel, great service, wonderful rooms

Excellent hotel in San Sebatian. Expensive but it is worth the money you pay

Good location and service. We liked our room. Breakfast was excellent. Gym was ok but unfortunately no pool.

Luxurious hotel, good Service, delicious food, georgeous rooms

I been there for a few nights , everything was excellent. I can hope repeat Thanks for all

Great rooms and gorgeous hotel. Near restaurants, beach and public transportation.

Stunning hotel and excellent service! Best sleep I had in Europe!!

Un servicio excelente

I was in San Sebastian for work and Hotel Maria Cristina is exceptional! The hotel itself is absolutely beautiful and immaculately maintained. Also, the staff is very friendly and helpful with anything that you need. Finally, the breakfast is worth the visit all by itself.

remain of the old money of europe.
butyful bilding incredibl location.

Top Hotel in San Sebastian. Attended New Years function having stayed in hotel a few year's ago.

Beautiful room - spacious.

hotel is beautiful and spacious. location is great, near all the fun bars, but still very quiet and peaceful. awesome views, as well. so happy to have stayed here while vacationing in San Sebastian

A luxury hotel as advertised. Reservations desk not so honest. When asked for room availability they straight up gave us information that contradicted the online reservation.

Best hotel ever stayed at. Old school beautiful. All amenities, great staff.

Superior Hotel experience. Courtly service. Magnificent comfort. Recommended most highly.

Buena ubicación. Sevicio muy agradable

Muy bien todo

Servicio muy bueno

Love, love, love this hotel. Concierge (Rodrigo) was excellent to work with whether it be restaurant reservations (and we had many changes), surf lessons, booking car services and/or general information. The rooms are spacious with huge beds, nice bathrooms and nice amenities. The location is fantastic--close to the beach, close to Old San Sebastian and close to shopping. Highly recommend.

Excellent. I don't give many "5"s, this deserved it.

Beautiful building, great location, excellent staff/service, awesome room (caveat: was upgraded to suite), excellent breakfast.

Highly recommended.

Stayed two nights in April 2016, and I travel a lot.

The rooms are amazing, the food is great and there is a culinary school where you can get hands-on experience with Spanish cuisine!

Palatial accomodations with great service. Great location close to both beaches and the Casco Viejo.

Very classic but with modern touch. Room and Bath is spacious with high ceiling. Great balance. Also location is good to walk around the city. Staffs are friendly.

An absolutely astounding hotel. Beautiful room and facilities coupled with an outstanding location in the historic city. We travelled throughout northern Spain during our vacation, and this hotel clearly stood out as our best experience. Would recommend to anyone visiting San Sebastien.

This place is so lovely. The lobby is gorgeous. The room was very spacious. Loved the bathroom, which had a shower and bath, as well as multiple finishing touches which made you feel like you were getting 5 star treatment. The bed was very comfortable. We had a great view of the courtyard and city. It was rainy when we were in San Sebastian, so we spent a great amount of time in the room but with absolutely no complaints!read less
