“great town venue”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

Just returned from a great 4 night visit to marbella , the San Cristobal hotel was a really central location for a winter break , while visiting the costa del sol. The staff at this 3 star hotel were always very helpfull at all times , and we all enjoyed our stay at this venue which is in a great position for the , Old Town, and the beach area. The Marbella Old Town , we never get bored with, some great tapas bars and friendly people, give this area a visit its great. Neil ayr

“Excellent Hotel near beach and Old Town”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Great location by the Old Town and 500 metres from beach. Staff were friendly and efficient. Bedroom was large, clean and comfortable and opened out onto a small balcony and there was a good sized bathroom with an excellent shower and bath. The breakfast was excellent, comprising hot and cold buffet. Our room faced the busy street and overlooked the Alameda Park but there was surprisingly little or no street noise. Excellent value for money.

“Good hotel, one problem.....PAPER THIN WALLS!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 August 2011
1
person found this review helpful

This hotel is definitely a 3 star. There are 6 floors. We were lucky to be given a room on the 6th floor with a sea view and balcony. The main road is literally in front of the hotel, busy with cars.....

I thought the room was decent. Yes, furniture is from the 70's (old wood) but it was ok for the money we spent.

The problem though was the walls were very thin and unfortunately we had a man next door to us, who kept us awake all nights, SNORING every night!! It was almost like he was in our bed, yes, that loud!

The beach is less than 3 minute walk and many shops are close by. This hotel is in the old town and not in the posh part of Marbella!! The posh bit is a 40 minute walk (along the same road).

Breakfast was ok, Tropical juice was nice, along with the pastries.

I would say, if you are restricted by money and need a central hotel in Marbella, this is a good hotel for you, but, you must bring your ear plugs with you, or you will have a number of sleepless nights (as you can hear neighbouring guests and the cleaners at work in the mornings).
