Pros:

Location, swimming pool, breakfast, service at desk. The hotel staff (desk, cleaners, etc.) were pleasant and looked after us well.

Cons:

The room was in need of an update. The air-conditioner was noisy and only just coped. The bed had only one pillow. The furnishings were somewhat old and dated.

Lovely, charming hotel
Pros:

I stayed at The Bristol for 3 nights with my elderly dad (I'm no spring chicken!). We had a lovely time. Yes it's a bit dated but that added to the charm. I loved the the grand lounge & pool with an art deco feel. Rooms clean & comfortable. Continental breakfast & friendly staff. What more could you ask for at a reasonable cost?

Cons:

Nothing to not like. The shower could have done with a bit more power!

Scary. Like being on a horror movie film set. Too expensive. Should be low budget. A disgrace to Gibraltar.
Pros:

The pool

Cons:

It it’s absolutely hideous. It’s the stuff nightmares are made off. Dark, creepy, dated. If you put the Shining and Psycho together you’d have the vibe of the bedrooms and corridors. It’s shockingly bad. The tv and lamp in bedroom is screwed to the table tops. There is no tea or coffee facilities in bedrooms which I find mean! The fridge was warm inside and the hair dryer looked at least 30 years old. Very poor. Very bad value for money. £100 per one night. A disgrace. It lets Gibraltar down! Owned by a Gibraltar family too. Needs a good overhaul. They are laughing all the way to the bank and clearly don’t care about reputation.
