Beautiful old grand dame hotel. Nicely done, General Manager was charming, attentive and made the rounds. Concierge needs more training. Not knowledgeable in different types of restaurants or museums. The GM told us about the Chillida outdoor museum. Terrific!!

Top luxury in San Sebastian

The Maria Christina is a luxury property in the center of San Sebastian and offers great ambience, service, and comfort. Close to all the attractions: the old town, the beaches, and the scenic neighborhoods, this is a fabulous place to indulge yourself.

One of the best in San Sebastian!

Overall this was a fantastic hotel to stay in, first the pro's: - very comfortable room and bed - Alejo, the front desk / concierge manager is WONDERFUL. He and his team went above and beyond to make sure we made the most of our stay (set us up with private autos, reservations, great restaurant suggestions, etc) The not so good: - no a la carte breakfast, either pay 90 Euros for buffet or starve - shower leaked onto the ground no matter what we tried to stop it from doing so. All in all, great place to stay, excellent location, exceptional staff.
