Disliked: Room comfort
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.

The view from our balcony room was fantastic. The room itself was very clean and spacious. The outside pool was lovely as was the nearby Botanical Gardens. Walking into the town and various marina's and bars was easy but the walk back up the hill to the hotel might be too much for some in which case catch a bus or taxi. There is a bus stop right outside the hotel.

We stayed at the charming Rock Hotel and were completely satisfied with the experience. The staff were welcoming and friendly and the buffet breakfast was excellent with plenty to choose from. There was some road noise, particularly from mopeds, but otherwise I would recommend the hotel as a base from which to explore Gibraltar.

The staff were very friendly and supportive. We arrived late because our B.A. flight was diverted to Malaga but were still able to have dinner. Special mention to Marina who helped us to locate and retrieve missing baggage which B.A. had left at Heathrow. The food was excellent, our room was perfect and the view from our balcony was stunning

Loved our stay at this property. Parking was so easy across the street and we walked to the gondola ride to the rock and downtown for dinner. The property is well maintained and has amazing views from the balconies. I only regret we did not stay for breakfast as they had a gluten free area in their buffet and I would have liked to try it. Perhaps on our next visit.

The hotel exterior looks the part, but that's where it stops. The room was nice and spacious and the view from the balcony was good, the phone did not work in our room for the whole of our stay , even though it was reported twice.First night went for a meal in the restaurant and the service and food were very poor, as was the breakfast the next day. There's one member of staff that is worth his wait in gold and that is David
