Hotel Cristina by Tigotan

"This is a typical four star package holiday style hotel. It is comfortable, clean, well-equipped and the staff are friendly and efficient. The room was large and the bed enormous! The decor is bland and the place lacks any real character, and it is a big hotel (10 floors). The pool is quite a decent size. The breakfast was excellent with somebody cooking fresh eggs to your taste every day. We stayed over Christmas and went to the special dinners on 24th and 25th (because most decent restaurants are closed then). We thought these dinners were quite expensive at €60 for a buffet, but the food was nice and at least we got to eat! Overall, I would say this is good value and a great location, right on the Las Canteras beach and easy walking to most places, including the Santa Catalina bus station."

"Good location, nice lounge area that is the only good points. Room was dated shower over bath. Did not need any services. Room only cleaned/made up every other day. Everything at breakfast was cold (beans sausage egg ) etc, even the water to make tea was cold some mornings. In its defense there was a very good choice of items for breakfast. Also at the entrance to the breakfast area they wanted you to que up and wait to be seated but there was always lots of tables available. I did not have any dealings with the staff but when they passed me in the hotel they always seemed friendly and polite."

"Overall a good hotel. Showing minor issues like flaking paint on the balcony. We thought we'd booked a sea view but hadn't so we moved after one night. The city view is of a large office building across the street. Restaurant was good. Lots of choice. Most annoying thing was that they charge to refill the tea, coffee pods (Nespresso) and milk. If you just want a couple of tea bags you have to buy the full pack. I've never seen this in any of the hundreds of hotels I've stayed at over the years."
