We arrived via the rock hotel bus stop as taxis are non-existent in Gibraltar and looking up at the hotel you get a very grand feeling but that’s all that’s grand. The staff were welcoming but we didn’t feel special. We made our way up to the room and found a letter under the door warning us that the water will be shut off at 11am the next day. The worst part about that letter is that it was covered in ants. The room was tired and needed a good clean, the floor was old and had traces of what we can assume is ant powder. After a long day we decided to head down to the bar for a quick bite to eat and the food was average at best. The ceasar salad was just salad and chicken smothered in mayo. The door had a bizarre locking mechanism which wasn’t explained at all and would leave the room open if not used correctly. The room had the very basics of what you needed. No spare pillows, no iron etc Air con was noisy and weak. The bed was like sleeping on concrete and using breeze blocks for pillows. I ended up sleeping on my jumper to compensate. The hallways have wooden flooring and you can hear absolutely everything going on in the night. When the room next to us came back and closed the door it sounded like it was our room. A few times throughout the night we woke up to the noise of people returning to their rooms. when mentioned the ants the next morning it was blissfully ignored as we were told to pay our bill.

Room was small but cozy. Best part was the balcony with a great view of the harbor and clean bed. Since the room was fairly small not much space in the bathroom.

I do have a grievance. The personnel was just not up to par with other 4-star hotels. We had to walk out on day one because after waiting nearly 20 minutes, nobody took our order. Second day, while we were waiting for coffee, nobody would come to serve us. I went to the person that was scheduling the tables and I asked for someone to bring our coffees, so what happened was that instead of lattes they brought drip coffee with milk. They still charged us 5,50 pounds for that (which was horrible). Anyway, not coming back to this hotel.

This is the most famous hotel in Gibraltar as far as I’m aware. It’s looking a bit tired and a little pricey,but overall it was a very good experience. Had a pleasant room with a nice balcony overlooking the water. It has the best shower I have experienced in a hotel. One negative point is it has the steepest driveway of any hotel I have stayed at.

We were expecting better from such a renowned hotel with so much history. The staff was friendly especially the porter, the views were spectacular, however the dining experience was terrible, and very expensive. The rooms were pretty small but offered all the amenities needed and having a balcony was great. Good for 1 night but wouldn’t recommend staying longer.
