Maria Cristina hotel location is outstanding we could walk for dinner just a few steps, also public transportation points are so close. The BAR is very nice and breakfast is awesome.

This hotel is affordable and conveniently located. The rooms are basic but comfortable. The shower took a long time to heat up. The Front desk staff did not speak English, and check in was confusing due to extra deposit. Otherwise staff were polite and did their best. The breakfast at the restaurant on site was basic but plentiful, but the rest of the menu needs improvement. It is a good choice for those with a limited budget, but those who can afford more might be happier with another option.
Great place to enjoy Mexican colonial style. Food is very good and rooms comfortable.
Many restaurants, mall and El Angel are in walking distance. Our first stay was in 1977, definitely we will stay again. We thank the staff for 5 stars service.
We love the staff service and the early check in and upgrade room. We enjoy the convenience of the location, walking and public transportation availability.
Convenient, nice Ambiente, good Relation Price/quality. Restaurants in walking distance.
Room are very Basic.

This is a great old hotel with friendly staff. It's starting to look a little dreary and needs artwork or color added to walls in the lobby and restaurant to cheer it up.
It's very clean and has a grassy, outdoor patio area.

Great location, would prefer cleaner carpet, wish had l’il fridge, AC, coffee machine, screened sliding door window.
If long stay, summer weather, might reconsider.
But for 3 nights with beautiful fall/spring weather, can’t complain. Good bang for buck, again great location.
Every time visiting Maria Cristina I feel like I’m home. Last experience was very good, it was a little noisy first day because some maintenance activities, but after requesting a better approach to do that, the front desk staff and manager did change schedule to make our stay enjoyable. Thank you

Disliked: Staff & service
The front desk personal during the day were condescending and rude. The rest of hotel staff wer wonderful and helpful
My stay at Maria Cristina was quite pleasant. Staff is very kind and attentive. They go above and beyond to make you feel welcomed. The WiFi was a bit unstable at times, so something I'd suggest to keep an eye out on.
Otherwise I'd definitely consider staying here again in the future. 🙂

Breakfast choices were very good.
Clean facility and accommodating Staff.
Lovely garden and patio.
Although well maintained, the room decor seemed a bit dated.
Would have really appreciated a smart TV in the room. Limited to only CNN or Fox News for English language television.
