The perfect place to stay if you're looking for a place with charm and personnality. It is certainly not anonymous like a Ritz or a Best Western. I had a quiet, small and simple single room that was just perfect for my needs. Situated in a residential area, the place is very quiet. You may spend the hot hours of... More

Hall way tired, room relatively basic and small. Bathroom small but wonderful, great shower villory and Boch fittings. Room was impeccably serviced each day. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Location good, I would imagine this would be particularly good for families

When we decided to explore the Basque country, we didn't have much time (only 3 days). So, we thought we might splurge and stay in (for us) ritzy St Jean de Luz so that we could easily reach the places we wanted to visit (St Jean de Luz itself plus nearby villages such as Sare, the town of St Jean...

After arriving from the 5 star Westin Palace in Madrid, we were a bit disappointed with the small size of the room and outdated feeling of this hotel. Walking down the hallway we instantly felt like we were in a scene from the shining, although we quite liked this. Our room was fine and had a wonderful balcony view of... More

We stayed here between 12 and 19 July 2009. Owners are very friendly and helpful with lots of good tips on places to visit and local good value restaurants. Our room was very small but adequate and clean. Only criticism was that bedroom corridor carpet was very tatty! Definitely would recommend this hotel and the location near the beach and... More

We have just returned from a 4 night stay at the Maria-Christina with our two kids aged 6 and 4. I would thoroughly recommend this hotel. Marie and Christophe Pfefferle are a charming couple and they have gone out of their way to make this a comfortable and pleasant hotel. The location is perfect, in a quieter part of the... More

Our family stayed in a suite at the Maria Christina last July--on the second floor on the street side--a wonderful two room spot that was very economical--I believe 125 euros--our two daughters had one room and we were adjacent. A neighborhood location about three blocks from the beach--fantastic swimming along the buoy line--about a mile+ swim from one end of... More

First of all: sorry for my english, I try to do my best. Last summer we stayed in Saint Jean de Luz for 2 nights and choose the Hotel Maria Christina. We spent two weeks in the area (spain and france) staying every two nights in different 2 star hotels. Maria Christina has a nice courtyard and looks quite "cosy",... More

The hotel is located on a residential street on the outskirts of the centre, though easily walkable to beach and the centre of the town. There is parking on the street. The room was clean and well decorated but tiny! (enough room for a double bed but not much more). The sound proofing wasn't great and vibrations and dull conversation... More
