The hotel has a traditional Spanish feel and is ideally located beside bus stops and a few mins to beach, supermarket and coffee shop and restaurants. Reception staff are really lovely and helpful which is an asset for any hotel. Lovely rooftop terrace also.

Had a very pleasant stay at the Maria Cristina. Some lovely restaurants on the front, prices really good. Will certainly go back again. Maybe one small negative comment, the beds could in my opinion be more comfortable. Would not stop me from booking again though :)

This hotel has seen better days. Upon entering the dark lobby, passing an empty “bar” with a blaring TV, we were checked into a 2nd floor room that was totally devoid of any charm whatsoever. Only furniture was a bed, 2 small nightstands, and a small desk and chair. Really no place to set suitcases. Burned out light over the bed and dimly lit in general. TV was about 19” across with a defective remote control (weak battery?). Bathroom lighting was also poor with no space to set toiletries. Tub/shower surrounded by curtains that did nothing to prevent water from hitting the floor. Toiletries provided consisted of 2 small foil packets with shampoo and 2 for bath gel, plus a minuscule bar of soap. Breakfast was offered for 7E starting at 7:30 but was not set up at that time, so we passed. There is a very nice bakery just next door though. Walking distance to the beach and many restaurants, and close to the bus stop to downtown Malaga.

Everything in this hotel is very old. The bed was the most uncomfortable ever I could not sleep all night! The air conditioner is very old! The rooms need total renovation. I believe they choose who stays in which room depending on which company I booked thru. The front office staff are wonderful and very accomodating and helpful.

First when we arrived (10pm) we didn't fiund anyone in the reception and it was too dark and scary, and then aftet 10 min of shouting calling anybody a man appeared with gloves in his hands (we thought that he was killing someone :0) then we have accomodated to our room to found a very poor room and AC not working even aftet we found the RC in the reception. So the man decide to change the room, we found a little insect on the floor once we entered, but the AC was wirking there, although it was too noisy we accept the room, but unfortunately the surprises did not end. The shower was broken with too wrak water pressure, toilet flush was not working.. and we decide to leave once the sunrise. By the way, there was a neighbour to our room knoking thw wall once we talk a little bit aloud as if he is with us on the bed. It was really a terrifying experience.

Stay away specially if you are a family. To start the room was very small, with uncomfortable hospital like beds. The furniture was limited to an old desk. No shelves or closet in the room. No smoke detectors. Mold in the bathroom

Very basic hotel rooms, clean but hard squeaky beds. Needs a re vamp. I was only staying enroute to hotel so the room was acceptable for one night quick stop but I wouldn’t want to be there for a longer stay . A few minutes walk to beach and bars and restaurants . Nice location .

Good location, providing outdoor noise doesn't bother you. Nothing very positive about the hotel apart from the cleanliness. Uncomfortable bed, terrible pillows, tatty curtains, only one old chair on the balcony, definitely not worth over 100 euros a night.

We made a quick stop at Hole Maria Cristiana for an overnight after a late airport arrival before starting our journey by car the next morning. We arrived late and the hotel desk attendant was friendly and efficient. The room was fine for a quick stay. It was small so it might feel claustrophobic for a longer beach stay trip. There are a strange amount of steps up and down to get to the rooms so don't plan on carrying big bags. There was a bakery next door with early morning hours that we were able to buy enough things to have a breakfast on the road.

Hotel was spotlessly clean and smelled delightful throughout! Staff were very helpful , very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Superb location with a supermarket and the beach within a five min walk. Plenty of places to eat with decent prices and amenable staff, all within walking distance. The photos on the website don't do it justice! We had an inside room which was fairly dark even with the lightwell which would have been better if we could have opened the curtains without the people in the room opposite being able to see everything! However this was a minor thing and certainly wouldn't stop us going back. Overall a lovely little hotel in a nice area , very friendly, very Spanish, with excellent transport links. ! All at a very good price. What's not to love??
