Hotel San Cristóbal

All in all a great experience. We had a minor issue with our room and were offered another room immediately. The staff is very friendly and helpful, especially Paula and Romina. The rooftop bar is very cool also. Rooms are comfortable, modern and clean. We will come back soon!

Great people working for this hotel! Paula and Marina at the reception welcome you always with a big smile, making you feel comfortable! At breakfast, you get great cappuccino served, if you ask for it. The rooms have very good size and modern facilities. The rooftop bar is a nice bonus, especially when there are performances. |Overall, it was a great experience for us.

We are leaving this lovely hotel after 5 nights celebrating a special birthday for my wife. We can genuinely say this is one of the best 3 star hotels we have stayed in. Walk out the back and you are in the beautiful Marbella old town & 5 minutes out the front you are on Marbella sea front, after a stroll through a pretty park. This location cannot be faulted.|All the staff are so friendly & efficient from the reception, restaurant & down to the cleaning staff. The hotel is spotlessly clean & the room we stayed in has been brilliantly refurbished, very comfortable including the beds.|All in all we loved this hotel & as we promised Susana the receptionist, we will be back.

Beautifully newly renovated hotel with lovely rooms (we had a gorgeous view of the mountains from the back). While the area can be a little busy during the day, it quiets down for peaceful nights. The location is great for easy walkability to old town and the beach, the food was delicious, and the rooftop was lovely for the sunny days. The service was amazing - friendly, efficient, and so helpful!

Location, location, location!!! Right in the centre of Marbella overlooking the park. Had previously visited this hotel for the rooftop bar (which is great) away from the hustle and bustle of the city, great views and lovely drinks. It’s a must stop! We then decided to stay over Xmas and it’s been an absolute pleasure. Very clean, excellent service and friendly staff who are very knowledgeable of the area. Rooms are modern and well thought out, ours had a balcony with a great view, breakfast buffet has a good choice for a smaller hotel and cooked very well. Gym is small but overlooks the old town and you get a great workout in. Overall a really excellent stay. Will defintely return! Oh and it smells lovely in the reception!!

The overall experience was fantastic ! The staff were so helpful especially the 2 ladies behind the front desk. Our room with a view from the balcony over the old town was picture perfect ! When you walk out the front door the promenade and beach are a few minutes walk away. The street at the side of the hotel runs into the old town which is full of lovely restaurants and tapas bars. We will be back !

Generally, an all round excellent hotel, centrally located (it really couldn't be better). It's right across from the park where local tour guides start the free walking tours. The promenade is within 5-10 minutes walking distance (if that) which is lined with cafes and restaurants overlooking the mediterranean. The promenade serves as a great walking path along the coast. We were here in Jan/Feb during a cooler climate (14-16°C daytime temperatures) and it was perfect (not too hot, not too cold) except that the weather was unusually wet (mostly, a light drizzle). Locals said that it is normally dryer. The surrounding cobble-stone streets are bustling with shops, cafes, restaurants and popular tourist sites. The only minor complaint we had was that we were not allowed to take a piece of fruit away from breakfast for the daily tours (every hotel is generally happy to let you take fruit or cakes from breakfast, so this came as a bit of a surprise, especially when one of the girls there was quite rude about this). That aside, it's a brilliant modern hotel that's been refurbished in 2024.

The Obal hotel was a very nice dream experience, from the first minute to the last sec of or stay. The staff was very helpfull and very friendly. When we arrived at the reception we got even an upgraded room. The receptionist was so kind every day with an smile asking is everything ok can we do something ? Dinerexperience was also very very good with an special thanks to Karla she was super friendly and nice, nothing was to much for here. Great explanation and try to help every where when if possible a special thanks to the everybody of the hotel. We come back next year.
