Stayed for 1 night at Rock Hotel convenient location near cable car. Hotel feels a little tired and in need of a renovate. Breakfast and dinner service slow and pricey.

Location location location
Great location and proximity to the cable car and the rock of Gibraltar (5 minute walk). Free parking which proved useful. It’s kind of “the” hotel due to its location to the rock. It’s a tourist haven (probably to be expected) and generally well put together with stylings of history and celebrity guests though it could be spruced up a bit. But it’s clean and convenient. The desk staff has a few less than helpful folks which was unfortunate but others on staff make up for it.

Historic hotel with a lot of character. Centric and easy to get around. Professional and hospitable staff. Includes free parking for those driving. Only criticism would be breakfast is only buffet and no options to order A La Carte.

An iconic hotel
Iconic hotel wonderful staff and good clean room and a wonderful powerful shower. The only thing I was disappointed with was the breakfast, limited choice and birds pecking at the pastries inside the hotel. An excellent stay overall and would not hesitate to return.

This is a nice hotel, we really enjoyed our room which had a spectacular view out over the harbor at sunset. It's also worth noting that the bathroom and shower facility was one of the best we've encountered on this trip.

If you’re 5 feet,10 inches or taller, you won’t be able to sit on the commode. Bathroom was that cramped. I had to go in a public one. The on off light switches were inconsistent. To keep the ac going in the middle of the night, the lights had to be on. So we had to unscrew the light bulbs. We ended up having to use a flashlight to navigate the shower. The staff was inattentive. It took 90 minutes to get sandwiches in th bar, where they allow people to smoke. The smoke wafted up into the hallways. Paper thin walls means you hear neighboring guests snoring and talking. Add it up and the result was a terrible night of sleep.The view was spectacular and for the price it should have been. Avoid this overpriced “accommodation.”

This is an older hotel but fairly well maintained. First impression was it was the scene of an Agatha Christie novel, and I half expected to see Hercule Poirau at breakfast. Well situated to the cable car of The Rock. Parking is in the driveway of the hotel on a first come basis so get in early and dont move it. Nice place. Would recommend

Nice bar area and terrace with a lovely and legendary bar staff. Pool area nice enough but across road from hotel so feels a little detached. Room wasn’t ready when we arrived and we were told we would get a call when it was available…no-one called…no apology either. Woken by banging and hammering at 6:15 am…front desk couldn’t have cared less when I told them. Not the service I expect from a hotel of this standard.
