Lovely and historic hotel
Pros:

We selected the sea view, and it was spectacular; overlooking Algeciras/Gibraltar Bay, and Africa clearly visible across the straight. Our room was nice, comfortable, and everything worked. The Wi-Fi signal in our room was a bit weak, but functioned with careful positioning. Ghazi's Bar is simply wonderful. We were there for 4 nights in the shoulder season, so it was great value.

Cons:

The Rock Hotel was fine. Gibraltar has a taxi shortage, so there's a lot of walking involved when getting around.

Comodidad y tranquilidad en Gibraltar
Pros:

El desayuno es fantástico, las camas muy cómodas y la suite familiar es impresionante. Todo muy espacioso y con detalles para que nos sintiéramos a gusto.

Cons:

Hacía un poco de frío en las habitaciones. Pusimos el aire acondicionado en modo calefacción y no calentaba mucho. Uno de ellos, en la habitación de las dos camas, no funcionaba.

Pros:

Bardzo wygodne łóżko, wanna w pokoju hotelowym, czysto.

Cons:

Śniadania bardzo brytyjskie, monotonne, brak warzyw, poza pieczonymi pomidorami, brak wędlin. Codziennie ten sam zestaw, jedyne na plus to omlety, które można było zamówić u obsługi. Z uwagi na zamkniętą kolejkę linową, lokalizacja tego hotelu przestała być atrakcyjna, dosyć daleko od centrum i większości atrakcji. Mieliśmy tego pecha, że w trakcie naszego pobytu w hotelu było wesele, co w nocy dostarczyło dodatkowych, niepożądanych atrakcji.

Perfect
Pros:

Lovely hotel and lovely staff. It was perfectly located to anywhere you need to go for a start, shops just a few minute walk, bus to the airport just down the road, save money on a taxi. They were very accommodating from the start, we got there early but allowed us to change and leave our luggage. Had a meal in the restaurant which was very nice too, a bit pricey compared to some places but the food was lovely and staff happy to help. View from our room was perfect, couldn't have asked for better. Would definitely go back :)

Cons:

I wish we knew the hotel pool wasn't open before we booked, possibly would have booked the following week

Pros:

A great hotel with friendly helpful staff.

Not the hotels fault but I have difficulty walking up hills. But im glad I didn't research the position as I might not have stayed. And im very happy I did.

Pros:

-

Cons:

We were unpleasantly surprised that a Soviet-era resort could charge such high nightly rates - as if it were listed in the Michelin Guide - despite its decor, service, cleanliness, and state of repair. It’s completely absurd.

Beautiful stay at The Rock
Pros:

Beautiful comfortable room with a lovely view of the sunset and sunrise. Loved the location, easy to walk to town and The Rock, but be warned there are steep hills to climb.

Cons:

Service in the bar and restaurant was a little slow.
