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.

The hotel was Central and well situated to the attractions we were looking to visit. The hotel provided a great breakfast and the bar area was pleasant to sit in with great views of the harbour. The pool was detached from the Hotel but was in easy walking distance and was a great quiet spot to spend a hot afternoon.

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.
