Hotel Maria Cristina

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.

Excellent value - great location - very friendly staff

Booked a room from the internet with a two hour notice time after already staying for a week in Cala del Moral. It was my only choice nearby and also the cheapest, so I had some doubts. After entering the much nicer than a two star reception and restaurant area (I've been in four star hotels that were worse) the receptionist, who did not speak that good of english) took some time to find my quite recent reservation but luckily finally found it. The room (last one free) we got was a very basic internal (window to an inside shaft, so extremely quiet)) hotel room but we were lucky to have a room with such a late notice. However this is where the positive things started. The WC was very clean with a nice small bathtub and bidet. The water was as hot as one wanted with nice pressure. The free air conditioning was as effective as one wanted. There was a small full hd TV with tens of channels. The WIFI worked with no problems for the whole week. All the public areas were very clean every day. The rooftop terrace was very, very nice with a sea view and a lot of plants and different chairs. Once you talked a bit to the receptionists they turned out very nice. We had some problems with the bikes rented from the hotel so we got them for free in the end. The hotel was located at the village main road with a nice large supermarket next to it and everything else as well. The nice beach is basically next to it and buses to Malaga also leave next to it. If I would have one bigger thing to complain, it was the mattresses, that were quite hard with some springs protruding from them and caused some discomfort - this is an issue the hotel could easily and cheaply solve. And should. But overall I was very, very pleased and will probably stay there again, if going back to the very nice and quiet village of Cala del Moral.

Loved every minute, brilliant staff and lovely quiet area

This simple, authentic hotel offers an excellent base close to Málaga. The service is efficient and friendly, the rooms are clean and the ambiance is charming. I have thoroughly enjoyed my stay here twice and shall return.

We stayed for 9 nights in this lovely hotel. Location is great, 5 mins from the beach, supermarkets, shops and restaurants. Staff were friendly and very welcoming , nothing was too much trouble. Lovely area with great transport links. Very Spanish which we love. Hotel was spotlessly clean, smelt delightful, breakfast buffet perfectly adequate and unhurried. We had an internal room which was a little dark even with the lightwell, thick curtains were great for sleeping but with the room opposite looking straight in, we went able to keep them open much. However this was a minor inconvenience and definitely wouldn't put us off going back! All in all a real little find for the price.

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??

Hello I booked this as a present for my family. They were overjoyed with their stay with you. Best holiday ever was the response when they came back. Two rooms were next to each other and they were lovely and clean. They will return in the future to your amazing hotel. Many thanks for all the care and help shown to my family. Highly recommended Gill.

On arrival I just asked casually if I could change to a balcony room and yep i got a balcony room...The reception staff,like all the staff I had any dealings with, were happy to help.

I had the recent pleasure of staying in this hotel prior to going to El Caminito del Rey last week and it was perfectly nestled in Malaga with walking distance to the beach. Though this is spring season I could see how this place is golden during the upcoming warmer months. If you get an opportunity to book here early prior to the flood of people who come in the summer, do it early. It is simple in accommodations but rightly priced to enjoy the nearby activities.
