We have just returned from yet another lovely stay at The Rock. Yes, a little shabby bit it never fails to remain constant in the service and comfort that we experience, it is always a joy to stay here. The menu in the Barbary Bar could do with a little change now and again, but the menu and food in... More

Old fashioned hotel in Gibraltar. The view is spectacular, large rooms. If you like places as they were in the early 60s ( myself I do ), then sleep there. Staff very friendly, but the whole place needs some refurbishment. Take care - dont leave the balcony open, the famous monkeys can enter in the room otherwise.

We enjoyed a revisit to the hotel after 8 years. It hasn't changed at all. Still needing a refurbishment. Lots of peeling paint and tired furniture but the place does have a certain charm. The pool area has been refurbished and is very attractive. The staff are excellent. Rooms are a reasonable size with 6' bed and small balcony, spacious... More

Stayed for 7 nights 7 – 14 May 2013, Room 406 A delightful, Colonial style hotel, with character and good views over Gibraltar harbour and bay. We had a thoroughly enjoyable week, but there were hiccups. A lot has been said in past reviews about the general run down condition of the hotel, and the promised refurbishment, I agree with...

Stayed for 3 nights 7 - 10 May 2013, room 131. The hotel is beautiful and exudes a certain 1930's charm and elegance. The exterior of the hotel is, as many have put on here, in need of a re-paint but that does not really detract from the overall experience. Our room was great, spacious, big bathroom, balcony, sea view... More

Dear KimQueenfQuo, Thank you for your very detailed review. I was pleased to read that you enjoyed your stay and that you would love to return. Regarding our 'lick of paint' I am sure that you must be aware from my other responses on this site that there is a major refurbishment on the near horizon. Thank you once more. More

Dear dsan50, Thank you for your review. Your comment about the palm fronds on our Wisteria Terrace will be investigated and action taken where appropriate. As you intimate, the views from there are excellent and should not be spoilt by unchallenged growth. Thank you too for your comments about our bar staff. We look forward to you returning in August.

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Built on Gibraltar's western flank with stunning views across the bay, it has been welcoming guests since 1932. As the colony’s premier hotel the guest book is littered with famous names as diverse as Sir Winston Churchill and the Two Ronnies! Tastefully renovated, it has the character of a bygone era with the facilities of a modern 'Grand Hotel'. Traditional afternoon tea is served in the lounge and the hotel’s Rib Room Restaurant is recognised as one of the finest places to dine in Gibraltar. The atmospheric Barbary Bar and adjoining wisteria covered terrace are wonderful places to be on a summer’s evening, both are delightful meeting places, the latter a popular venue for weddings. The hotel’s pool area and gardens have an air of tranquillity, yet the centre of town is only a 10-minute downhill walk. ... more   less
