Room and service was very good. Swimming pool and service was excellent. Breakfast service for tea and coffe slow and my tea was only luke warm on one occasion. In general I enjoyed our stay and would return if visiting Gibraltar again.

Location: up a steep hill a bit of a walk from the city centre, with lovely views over the harbour towards Spain with the Rock behind. Room: clean and a good size, has aircon (that isn't pointing directly at the bed so cools the room nicely without you sleeping in a draft). Balcony was lovely to enjoy, shame the guests in the room next door kept smoking on their balcony, forcing me inside. In room fridge was also welcome, I kept drinks in there to keep cool in the hot weather. Swimming Pool: salt water pool across the road, lovely location with the gardens around and when floating on your back you have a great view of the Rock. Breakfast: could have been better for the price, especially the coffee, but adequate. Overall staff were friendly and welcoming, check-in was easy and they were happy for me to leave my suitcase early and go explore. Checkout I had to wait for the staff to finish their smoke break which was somewhat annoying when you've got a flight to catch.

Good, but "could do better".

Overall it was very enjoyable, especially the pool. There were some 'niggles' though. The breakfast buffet was quite good, though nothing like so good as many in hotels I have stayed in with a far lesser rating. There wasn't a coffee machine so getting a refill was haphazard at best. Service in both the breakfast room and the bar was bordering on poor with long waits to get any attention. Our room was well maintained and clean and the beds were very comfortable, plenty of storage space too.

Unfortunately our stay was rather disappointing. Our double room would have been fine for one night, or a single person, but not a couple for 5 nights. It was very cramped, rather shabby, and the smallest shower room I’ve ever seen. It should not have been allocated to us. The service was good, if slow at times. The food was very good, breakfast was good value for money. The pool is lovely, even if you have to cross a busy road to get to it. A zebra crossing would be far safer! Unfortunately, we left a day earlier than we’d booked for, when we told reception we were leaving early because we were uncomfortable, they were not concerned in the slightest. We won’t stay here again, the great food, good service and lovely views do not make up for the negatives for us.

Very Good Stay

One night in Gibraltar, we walked from the border. Easy until the you reach the hill the hotel is situated on 😂 (better with a taxi!) Warm and friendly welcome, staff are great. Room spacious and clean & we did have an adjoining room door which seemed to be open which made us a bit uncomfortable though. Perfectly clean, however some odd mixes of the lovely retro furniture with plastic floor panels etc. Could just do with a bit of bringing back to life. Views from our west facing room excellent!

The Rock hotel is a very nice hotel where we stayed for a 3 nights and attended a wedding party reception there. The hotel location is perched on top of a very steep driveway, there is a side path with steps which makes walking up easier, or alternative you get there by taxi. Staff were all pleasant and helpful. Restaurant / bar food and drinks were good. We had a lovely sea view room, the view out to the harbour / sea was amazing.
