María Cristina Hotel

The hotel was sparkling,shining clean but very impersonal. It was easy to find, and the direct indoor lift from basement garage to rooms was very useful in wet weather. There was nothing about the hotel facilities (not that there were any!!) or area in the room.

There was nowhere to sit and relax -either in rooms or public areas. The dining room was expensive and the only place to get a drink -no bar.The walls were thin enough to join in neighbour's nightime activities!! Due to heavy rain we did not explore the city but took advantage of nearby shops to buy snacks and wine to take back to room. Cheapskate but necessary!

Within walking distance to historic places of interest. Large room. Pity there wasn't any information on the history of the hotel which I understand had previously been a hospital, an orphanage and a military academy

Female cafeteria staff were not pleasant or helpful. Hotel parking should be free.There was nowhere to sit and relax. We could not get a coffee or drink after 4o'clock. No lounge to sit in in the evening only place to get a drink was in the dining room.
