Reviews for Hotel María Cristina

Review 1:The staff were all fantastic and the room was great (thanks) Nice clean hotel very helpful staff and a nice location. Thank you all for A wonderful stay....

Review 2:Our original booking was cancelled by the hotel, even though we hadn't cancelled and it was still active on booking.com Fortunately the hotel still had rooms available when we arrived.

Review 3:Very friendly staff, provided an extra bed in the room for my 10 year old son, provided our dog with his own bed and bowl!

Review 4:Pictures of the room and view from another location. Was quite disappointed.

Review 5:Room is clean. Friendly staff. Easy to get to Malaga - bus for 1.65 every 20 min.

Review 6:Noise from the street, but depend on room position

Review 7:Close to the beach, free parking near. Friendly and helpful staff. Clean room, comfortable. Excellent value for money.

Review 8:Conveniently situated stopover after evening flight into Malaga. Friendly staff. Room comfortable and clean, good shower. Great roof terrace. Lovely, working town. Two minutes from pleasant beach walk.

Review 9:Wi-Fi slow and intermittent but not a deal breaker.

Review 10:Nothing spectacular but everywhere was clean and tidy, great price, nice breakfast, bar was pleasant and good location.

Review 11:I'm afraid the hotel is good in summer but not in December when I stayed there: it was awfully cold in the room. Dirty floor along the wall in the very room. A single window faces a kind of narrow shaft as well as windows of other rooms. If the windows are open you can hear every word of your neighbours.

Review 12:Clean and comfortable bathroom. Quite good breakfast: there were eggs, cheese and ham. The sea shore is 5 minutes' walk. A big supermarket is 2 minutes' walk.

Review 13:Wi-fi not so good on Level 3 but as I stated the lobby/bar is amazing, why would you want to spend time in your room.

Review 14:This Hotel was amazing from the entrance to the rooms and everything in between. The reception area has a bar and tables and chairs to relax in. Manuel was so helpful from minute 1 until our departure. The freshness in the hotel was a nice change to have. The furnishings in the lobby/bar area where amazing also. Will 100% return to this hotel again. Highly reccommeded.

Review 15:Nothing!

Review 16:The staff are always friendly and go out of their way to help. Lovely room (worth paying for the Superior room) as it had a fridge and huge balcony.

Review 17:There is nothing to declare.

Review 18:Friendly staff, big room and bathroom, good location only 2 min to the beach, affordable prices, the possibility to rent bikes, good coffee

Review 19:Its a former hostal now a hotel. Nicely decorated, nice bathroom and conveniently located in he centre of La Cala, 5 minutes from the beach. WiFi was good...TV is just Spanish with a few digital channels have English options. Quiet at night despite being on main street of the village. Small coffee shop in the lobby and very friendly reception staff.

Review 20:The staff were very friendly and welcoming. It was approx 20mins drive from Malaga Airport and easy to find.

Review 33:My visit to Hotel Marie Cristina began on the 3rd June and lasted until 13th June 2014.Booking number 541.868.238The caring, and warmth that is the nature of the people of la Cala del Moral was apparent even before my arrival. The correspondence between the hotel and myself in the lead up to my journey demonstrated a genuine interest in my welfare, to maximise my enjoyment, and to minimise problems that may occur.My correspondence, particularly with Cristina Santos, was accurate efficient yet presented in a friendly reassuring way that gave me confidence in my decision to commit to the hotel and I began to look forward to my holiday.No doubt others have booked holidays and accommodation, although looked forward to, have resulted in disappointment.Cristina continued to correspond right up to the day of my departure from the UK, advising on travel to the hotel once in Malaga and offering to book taxis.On my arrival I was greeted in a style that is the nature of the people of la Cala del Moral, and indeed that of Rincon de la Victoria as a region, friendly; warm; caring, patient, above all genuine.The little bars and restaurants reflect the nature of the people, their culture and everything is very reasonable and real quality.My room, for this single person, was large with shower and usual facilities, wardrobe and a double bed with bedside draws. There was a writing table and a chair also an easy chair.My room had double French windows, and balcony which over looked the main street with the usual associated noises, but this added to the atmosphere of la Cala. When these doors where closed and the air-conditioning was switched on, the noise was not obvious. It was necessary to have the air con on as the temperature from 11 am was in the order of 34 degrees C.Throughout my stay, if and when, I require assistance, or information the answers were provide in a way that I got the impression that the staff, were genuinely pleased they had been able help.

Review 34:You can not wish for better location. It was my first trip to Cala de Moral and it was very easy as from Airport you take a bus to Malaga at a cost 3€. The bus brings you to Malaga bus station where you get another buss to Cala de Moral at a cost 1.65€. In Cala you just need to cross the road and on a left hand side Maria Cristina is ready to accommodate you. Reasonable breakfast,just minutes away from beach and bus stops to Malaga. Wonderful roof patio for sun bathing or watch the stars on a sky in the night! Secure and quiet place to stay and relax. The owners taking a good care of house.Hotel is Highly recommended!
