We spent five very enjoyable nights at Reina Cristina and found the hotel a great place to relax and unwind after some time on the road. The elegant public areas show the signs of ageing, but there is an overall feeling of class and romantics can easily imagine the days when the hotel was frequented by royalty and well-known guests....

What a wasted opportunity this hotel presents! It caters for mid to down market groups and this is reflected in the food and service. I had the misfortune to have dinner included in my rate i.e. the buffet dinner....... not very nice. Had a glass of their house red, not sure where the connection to Listerine comes in as it... More

This grand "old lady" of a hotel has the most lovely public rooms and gardens on the edge of the not very lovely Algeciras. Some of the rooms have been modernised. We were in an old fashioned twin bed with not a lot going for it except a brand-new flat TV and good views of the garden with a decent... More

We had twice stayed here, enjoying the faded early 20th Century style & the gigantic Bay tree in the garden. This week, stuck in Algeciras, awaiting a car repair, we opted for a drink & lunch, in civilised surroundings. What a let-down! The Bay had been felled & replaced by scattered "cabanas", presumably occupied by the under-dressed rabble who thronged... More

We chose this hotel as we were interested to know what it was that attracted, amongst many other notables, Edward Heath, Rock Hudson, the Sultan of Johore and KingXIII of Spain. Whilst Algeciras is not the most pleasant of cities it was our stop before travelling to Ceuta. We were delighted with the gardens and public rooms of the hotel... More

There are one or two staff... More

Internet bookings get placed in a dark basement corridor that smells bad. Lots of elderly people dancing. The rooms are very bad furnished but are spacious. The outdoor is splendid with very nice garden and two swimming pools. Breakfast also very good. I might give it a second chance but only because is the only hotel with swimming pool I... More

Whilst the hotel is amazing in pretty much every way possible (cleanliness 5* / staff helpfulness 5* / facilities 5* / food 4*) the location within Algecerias is very poor. The town is just a bog standard port town which is quite rundown at that - the town does not have many tourist attractions except one sole square with a... More
