Hotel San Cristóbal

Visited this stunning city centre hotel for my partner 40th Birthday 🎂 |Beautiful, spotless hotel|Modern rooms are gorgeous.|The breakfast is a high standard.|Location is perfect for old town marbs, stones throw from the beach. |Taxi ride from the amazing puerto banus which is stunning. All the designer shops and amazing restaurants there. |The hotel left my partner a lovely birthday surprise of complimentary juices and cakes and a happy birthday message. |The rooftop bar is lovely and the pool is also lovely (only small and not deep more of a cool down dip pool) |Can't fault it at all. Would highly recommend and would certainly return.|Thanks for a special stay x

We arrived at the hotel, earlier then expected, however, Paula who greeted us on reception was incredibly welcoming and ensured they sourced a room immediately available. Upon learning we were staying for my partner's 40th they upgraded our room, which was wonderful. Thank you Paula! Fantastic location. Spotless rooms and facilities with friendly staff. We had breakfast included in our stay which was delicious with so many options. Will definitely return when back in Marbella

we have recently stayed at this gorgeous hotel for 5 nights and I can’t recommend it enough!! The rooms are so clean and the air con is amazing. The reception staff and cleaners are so friendly and accommodating so I will definitely be returning. A special mention to Paula and Juan for their amazing customer service. Any problems or questions we had were handled with a smile and a can do attitude. They really made our stay special.

This is a lovely hotel. All areas are Immaculately clean, possibly one of the best kept hotels we've ever stayed in. Attention to detail is on point. Our room was spacious, modern & very comfortable. We found all members of staff to be professional, friendly & very helpful. The hotel is situated on a busy road and we had a room at the front but there was no disturbance from traffic noise. The 360 rooftop bar & swimming pool are stunning. The 360 views are beautiful. The location of this hotel is ideal, 3 minutes walk from the beach & the lovely, picturesque old town was a couple of minutes walk. Lots of shops, bars & restaurants close by. I could continue to praise this gem of a hotel but that would take a very long time. There's absolutely nothing at all that we could find fault with. We'll definitely return.

Just got back from an amazing stay at the Obal Hotel in Marbella! The location was perfect, right in the heart of everything. The staff were super friendly and helpful, always going the extra mile. The room was clean, comfortable, and had a fantastic view. Paula at the front desk is great. I'd highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Marbella and looking for a great experience!

This hotel has the loveliest Staff from first contact at Reception,who will go above and beyond for you, with patience and a smile. The breakfast buffet is brilliant, and easily catered for Gluten and dairy free needs. The gluten free bread roll was supplied separately,along with Sheep milk on request. The rooms were absolutely spotless, again staff very accommodating, when an iron was needed. Centrally located, for beach and Old town,will recommend without hesitation.

We stayed for a week at this hotel on a half-board basis with our 6-year-old son. First of all, I have to say that the reception is outstanding; they gave us a room very early without making us wait, and they were always extremely kind. We booked a Family room, but we didn’t like it—it had no view, it was very dark and faced the inner courtyard, and you couldn’t leave the window open because the smell from the kitchen would come into the room. The staff promptly changed our room to a Premium, which I definitely recommend as it was much nicer. The real problem was having chosen half board. It’s absolutely not worth it, and this hotel is not equipped to offer this package—I would even suggest removing it altogether. The à la carte menu for half board is the same for the entire week. They say it changes weekly, but in our experience, it did not—the menu stayed exactly the same. There are very few choices on the menu, so if there’s something you don’t like, or if you have kids who are picky eaters, you’re basically out of luck. They did offer us a few options from their regular menu, but in the end, we decided to eat out, especially since the hotel is right next to the old town, and it’s much nicer to dine outside. A note about the restaurant: the staff is very rude—apart from the manager, no one greets you when you arrive or when you leave after breakfast. They seem angry and definitely do not enjoy their job. The reception, on the other hand, is made up of very professional and always smiling people. The restaurant was definitely a negative experience, at least as a half-board guest. Honestly, I expected at least a partial refund or a discount on parking, since we paid for half board and didn’t use it.

Hotel location couldn’t have been better. Was at the bottom centre of old town and a 1 minute walk through the park to the beach. |Comfortable modern room with a good size waterfall shower. Balcony with a view to the park one way and the mountains the other. Very clean and fresh throughout the hotel. |All the staff were friendly and accommodating. |The rooftop is nice for a drink. 20 sunbeds by the pool, which opens at 11am (door is unlocked so no towel race at 7am!) although if you’re not there just after 11am, you’re not getting a sunbed. I didn’t bother as the beach was so close. Plus the pool was a couple of feet deep, 12 meters by 2 meters. So was just for cooling off. The pictures make it look a lot bigger than it is. So if you’re looking for a hotel with a pool to swim in or chill out all day, this isn’t for you. But on a positive, it meant no kids and was very peaceful and relaxed. |Breakfast had all the basics. Fry up, cold meats/cheeses, cereals, fresh juices, machine coffee and fruit. |Would definitely stay here again. |50€ uber to the airport. 35 mins.
