Already Planning Next Trip
The Maria Cristina lives up to everything and more as advertised. A wonderful historic and stylish hotel ....right down to the 4 seasonal portraits of Maria on the wall of my fantastic room with a view of the Atlantic. Stayed overnight this time on my way to Pamplona, but I am already planning my next trip to the Bull Run with a much longer stay at the Maria Cristina built in.
Traveler's tip on local attractions
A swim out to the raft and now diving board on Concha Beach is still just like Hemingway described in his book the Sun Also Rises.

Excellent Hotel, but it is too expensive
I know, my rating and recommendation are in conflict. The hotel is set in a renovated magnificent old building within a 10-minute walk of the beautiful "Old Town" and beach promenade. Staff is fantastic and very friendly. The rooms are wonderful: big, airy, clean, and modern. Great bathrooms. Almost perfect, except I felt it was way too expensive for San Sebastian. It is priced like a top hotel in New York or Shanghai. If you still want to splurge, make sure you get breakfast in your rate. Otherwise they charge you the most expensive breakfast I have ever seen per each person in your party, including small children. I would not stay here again.

I will come back
The hotel is really first class. With perfect location, it looks and feels more like a palace then a hotel. Rooms are very, very nice-- again, palatial. The "high tea" experience is special, one feels like an aristocrat in late 19th century. Overall, very good value.....
Traveler's tip on getting the most out of your stay
Take time to enjoy hanging around the hotel. There are nice walks around the bay and to the top of the hill with fenomenal views of San Sebastian. Night life is exciting and right accross the street -- many bars and charming restaurants.
