Globales Reina Cristina

We had a room at the end of a wing and very quiet with good views out to the gardens. The room was cleaned well during our stay and towels replaced on a daily basis. Breakfast was buffet style with a good supply of cold meats, cheeses, yoghurts, pastries etc. We used the swimming pool most days. There was a good supply of loungers with shade provided by a good distribution of sun umbrellas. The pool area was kept very clean with a plentiful supply of clean towels available from reception. A real bonus at the hotel were the gardens and this is a real oasis in Algeciras. The staff were courteous and helpful at all times. A good bar on the ground floor which leads out to a lovely terrace where you can sit with a drink and order light meals.

We cannot think of anything. Bear in mind that this is a historic hotel and therefore "older" than some you will find in the city but we think it has been maintained well.

There is a lot of history and old-world charm in this hotel. Staying in this hotel gave you a sense of what the world was like in the turn of the century, and much of the furnishings date back to the days of the Titanic. The hotel had a British charm, and sometimes we felt like we were in a ghost hotel, and that was actually very cool. Our favorite person was the barkeeper named David he made us feel at home and went out of his way for anything we needed.

The front desk was OK, and they did give us a stand-up fan. We asked for a fan because there was no air conditioning, and if you opened the windows, the flies would be all over your room. Also, Tarifa is a better destination if you intend to take the ferry to Morocco.

We were not at this property for very long, I wish we could have stayed longer as it seemed there were a lot of amenities to take advantage of. We did appreciate that it was within walking distance of the ferry terminal, the bus station, and the train station. The room was a good size and included a balcony.

We tried to ask the front desk for some help determining options with a bus/train after we had issues with a rental car and unfortunately they were not very helpful. However, it might have been due to more language barrier issues than their unwillingness to assist.

Two couples stayed here two nights before taking the ferry to Morocco and we found it very relaxing and comfortable. Short walk into centre of Algeciras and short walk to the port. We thoroughly enjoyed the evening buffet - a varied and tasty selection. Special mention for the attentive and helpful service by Nayara at dinner and breakfast. The swimming pool is clean modern and very inviting set in extensive grounds. This is a classic old style hotel and a delightful contrast to hi-tech modern chains.

Beautiful hotel, wonderful staff, excellent location. Food was very good both breakfast and dinner. Room was very large with large bathroom and roomy balcony. It felt like a step back in time with the large number of fully draped windows and high ceilings. Furnishings and wardrobe were stunning and appropriate to the feel of the hotel. Bartender and bar were extremely nice. It was too cold to use the pool but it looked lovely and well kept.

Weak air conditioning and no screens on the large number of windows in the room (mosquitos).

this is a terrific place to stay in a port city that doesn't have a great deal to offer in the way of tourism. The most exciting thing was that the Treaty of Algeciras was signed here in 1906 on the subject of sovereignty, and all major nations including the USA were represented there. You can see the conference room and it's easy to imagine all the delegates in this grand hotel. It has large verdant grounds and a huge patio where you can take a drink and have a walk, with lots of trees and shade and plants. This was a surprise, as was the lovely inner courtyard area. It's about a 15 minutes walk into the old part of town. There is a modest pool which adds to the ambience.

It's an old hotel, and probably costs a fortune to maintain. We didn't eat dinner there instead opting to walk to town which is an insight into a city which represents a crossing point between wealth and destitution. Lots of poverty in evidence, and the highlight, the main plaza, was modest at best.

We chose this hotel because it is close to the port, as we returned by ferry from Morocco, and the transfer to the airport after 2 days was from another hotel directly opposite the port. The hotel is quite old and has probably seen better times, but after the many nights spent in a tent, it felt like a castle. Reception very friendly, there was also a separate room for our 6 bicycles. There is a balcony and a view from the window to the garden, finally we sleep in real silence. We have ordered the rooms without breakfast, because we have a different travel rhythm, there is a shop nearby and a 10-minute walk from the port, where the old town soon began. The hotel has a pool where only 2 pensioner couples sunbathed, maybe it's not the holiday season, but it's fine for us.

Beautiful old hotel set in spacious grounds. The food was great - breakfast and evening meals were both generous and varied buffets. Our room had a lovely balcony with space to sit comfortably. Staff were polite and helpful.

We could only get in via the back, vehicular entrance and as we walked up from the station this made our journey considerably longer which was unpleasant in the heat. The air conditioning wasn’t particularly good and our room got quite hot.

It is a beautiful hotel near the port of Algeciras. It is a large property and has a pool which is nice for those who don't like to swim in the ocean. The staff were super helpful, which I did appreciate very much. There was a huge buffet that offered different choices.

The bed was a bit uncomfortable and it was hard to sleep. The breakfast was ample but many of the HOT items were cold. It is a bit far from the centre and taxis are a bit expensive in Algeciras.

Really friendly staff welcoming at reception and in the bar. The hotel was spotlessly clean, pool and garden areas well kept and maintained. Good provision for free car parking on site.

Breakfast buffet was a mixed offering - continental and pastries good, but cooked breakfast looks extremely unappetising, coffee abysmal (although coffee purchased in the bar next door was fantastic - would have been nice to have decent coffee included in the breakfast you pay for) and wait staff were very brusque and seemed unfriendly.
