Cristina

Our small room had everything we needed, plus a balcony and a lovely view across St Aubin bay. The hotel was spotless, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The food was excellent, and the bar was well stocked. It’s about a five-minute uphill walk from the bus stop, which wasn’t too much. We’ve just spent a week here and would really like to come back one day.

The staff really made the stay. Everyone serving food and drinks was cheerful and patient, and Maurine, who looked after the rooms, greeted us each morning with a smile, asked what we had planned, and wished us a good day. She worked so hard and was especially lovely. The hotel was clean and tidy, with rooms of a reasonable size, though not especially large. Breakfast was well cooked and had a good choice. The eggs were cooked ahead, which I didn’t enjoy, and I’d have liked fried eggs instead. There was a good selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, including beer, wine and cocktails. I’d recommend Hotel Cristina.

We spent most evenings with wine on the balcony, watching the sunset. The hotel is very quiet, and the rooms have decent furnishings and good mattresses. Most have balconies, too. The Cristina sits on a hill with a sweeping view across the whole bay, probably the best on the island. Without a car, you can take the steps from the terrace to the main road and bus stop, about a four-minute walk. The restaurant was decent, though the menu was a little limited. All in all, a great place with nothing to complain about.

We only stopped in for a drink, but the lovely atmosphere and beautiful terrace views convinced us to stay for a meal too. The staff were polite, friendly and professional.
