A cozy place and very central
Pros:

A nice old fashioned and very British hotel located in the heart of Gibraltar. Rooms were large, quiet and somehow cosy.

Cons:

The service was kind but there were no city maps and no adapters for electronic EU devices available. Also no water cookers in the rooms.

It was a great location!
Pros:

Location, parking and staff.

Cons:

The whole hotel is out of date. 1960s or even 1950s decor. No extra services like bottled water and the ability to make coffee or tea in the room. Breakfast was the cheapest possible. We moved from cheaper hotel in Malaga to a more expensive one in Gibraltar. It did not come close to even being comparable. Over priced with minimal effort put forth. I blame the owner they only want money. Shame. This hotel should never be ranked as good. Fair at the most. Booking.com needs ti be clearer on standards.

Pros:

Breakfast ok but no surprises and it would have been nice to something hot, as part of the price for the room l guess it was fine

Cons:

Teeny piece of soap in the bathroom and allowing for the price it would have been nice to find just one bottle of water in the fridge good balur

It was fine for a short stay as the room was spacious but I didn't expect a shower in the bath - no,
Pros:

Having asked and paid for a vegan breakfast l foind l could only have dry toast and black tea as there was neither dairy-free spread or oatmilk. There wasn't even any fruit.

Cons:

When l told reception o had two lamps not working in my room they took the bulbs out but didn't replace them.
The place is a Warren of dark corridors with stairs everywhere. To access the bar/breakfast room one has to leave the building and go round the corner.

A British hotel from the 70s that is clean but needs to know we are in the 2020s
Pros:

A great location right next to Main Street. Also has easy parking right out side the hotel.
It has a certain charm of the 1970s and the room was clean.

Cons:

The hotel is like taking a step back in time to the 70s / 80s. With dark corridors and rooms. The shower was of the same era ( But clean)
Also for a British hotel no tea or coffee?
An interesting experience

Nicht nochmal
Cons:

Das Hotel ist einfach zu alt, renovationsbedürftig, in den Wänden stinkt es nach toten Mäusen.
Das Frühstück war sehr dürftig mit viel zu dünnem kaffee.

Pros:

The location was perfect.
The pool area was lovely and very welcome on a hot day.

Cons:

The hotel looked lovely from the outside but the rooms were very dated. I really disliked the polystyrene tiles on the ceiling. I thought this was a fire risk?

Staff were great, facilities were very poor.
Pros:

The Staff was absolutely lovely and very helpful!

Cons:

The carpets were threadbare and poorly cleaned. The room facilities were outdated, and the bed linen was from another era. The hallways had a strong musty odour, suggesting poor ventilation and long-standing dampness.
