Jederzeit gerne wieder
Pros:

Tolle Lage im Zentrum, Parkplatz vor der Haustür, schönes sauberes Zimmer, große Dusche, sehr freundliches Personal, tolles Abendessen auf der Terrasse

Cons:

Um wenigstens irgendwas zu meckern: das Frühstück könnte etwas dem Kontinent angepasst sein.

It was "OK".
Pros:

THE room with a balcony overlooking the bay of Algeciras was fabulous,very nice bathroom, aircon and the king size bed was superb quality.

Not a problem for US but anybody else with mobility issues the bath with the shower above it was a problem, very high to step in and out of and slippy.

Cons:

The service in the bar was TERRIBLE, we literally had to COLLAR staff to order drinks and food.

We got in there at 18.10hrs it was 17.45hrs before the food arrived at the table.................Terrible.

Lovely place but rather resting on its laurels.
Pros:

Some staff were really helpful: Adrian and the female manageress

Cons:

When we checked in we were given keys to an already occupied room. We were given two complimentary drinks at the bar to compensate for this. On our second day (of three), we got back from a day’s sightseeing to find that our room had not been serviced. Breakfast is adequate but there is Marmite!

Pros:

Emplacement de l'hôtel. Vue magnifique sur Gibraltar.

Cons:

Bruyant la nuit à cause du port. Salle de douche minuscule, tout juste la place de s'asseoir sur le WC.
Petit-déjeuner simple. Équipements vieillots. Trop cher pour ce genre d'hôtel.

Definitivamente, onde ficar em Gibraltar!
Pros:

O hotel encanta pela história e localização com uma vista deslumbrante sobre Gibraltar. Reservámos quarto com varanda e vista e valeu mesmo a pena o que pagámos. O pequeno almoço era excelente. Jantámos na esplanada com a vista para o mar e a comida e serviço foram excelentes. Uma atmosfera de charme e história do passado está sempre presente.
