"Maria Cristina a great deal in February"
We recently took our daughter to university in Northern Spain and had a few unexpected days to travel in the Basque region. From reviews on trip advisor and in guide books it was obvious that the Maria Cristina was the place to stay - the only drawback was concern over the price. However, checking the Westin website while in Logrono we got a fantastic rate of $155. per night. San Sebastian is a wonderful city built on a monumental scale and the Maria Cristina fits right in. It is a huge property and even at our low rate the room we got was huge. As others have noted the bathrooms are larger than main rooms in other hotels. The king bed and linens were definitely up to luxury standards. The hotel was a great base to visit the Basque area and in particular the Guggenheim in Bilbao which is an hour away. Bilbao is a dump compared to San Sebastian. The staff was great, fluent in English and managed to get us a table at Arzak, which many argue is the best restaurant in Spain. In summer reservations are apparently required months in advance. Do yourself a favour and check out San Sebatian in winter - the climate is quite mild - and be sure to stay at the Maria Cristina. Lastly, it appears that the poor reviews on trip advisor are all two years old or more - I presume things have improved since these people visted. Dale Dunlop - Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

"People Make This Gem A Real Star!"
This gem hotel, beautifully appointed rooms, clean, efficient and VERY FRIENDLY staff, overlooking beautiful river and ocean views is centrally located in this charming little city. Superb dining in the hotel with more incredible selections close by (see ARZAK)! Full service spa tucked away, again with friendly staff. Walk to City tour bus, shopping, beach, Marina and more. Easy drive to Biarritz, France, and to Bilbao (stunning new architecture prompted by the Guggenheim Museum) and the prehistoric caves of the region. Relaxation, Fun and so many wonderful sights so close by. A Must GO SEE!!!

"Great place
I love this hotel! The hotel itself is a beatiful old Belle Epoque style landmark. The chinese restaurant within the hotel is one of the best I have been to anywhere. The staff were very helpful. The location is very centrally located and a short walk to the Parte Vieja (Old part of town) and La Concha beach.
