The Bristol Hotel is an excellent choice for the single traveler or couple on a budget. It isn't the fanciest but it will meet most basic needs and the counter staff was really friendly and helpful. The location is a block off Main Street and is near several restaurants and shops. More

I came back yesterday having spent 3 nights at this hotel whilst on holiday with a friend and, yes, it is in need of refurbishment but the rooms were more than adequate although I had a couple of mini-grumps - lack of sockets for chargers etc for one - the rooms was pleasant and comfortable. One important thing: neither of... More

Every room is a smoking room. Make that: chain-smoking room. If you are a non-smoker you probably will not enjoy the smell of stale tobacco smoke that had permeated everything including supposedly clean bedsheets. Revolting. More

The Bristol hotel is a fantastic looking building that it's fair to say has seen better days. The interior is old and in need of a few million pounds being spent on it to revive an historic building back to it's full glory.the rooms are very basic and befit their 2star rating, the pool is usable and provides welcome escape...

It is right in the middle of town, walking distance from loads of bars etc. Traffic noise in the hotel prevents one from opening the windows. Good size room, great value. More

My wife and I, mid-sixties, spent an agreeable four nights here as part of a short Gibraltar package. A hotel of two-star quality, quaintly "antique" in character with its dark labyrinth of wooden-panelled corridors. Staff most obliging. Our room - an outside twin - OK. Clean with all the basics though somewhat jaded. Breakfast was a self-service cold buffet, more... More

This Hotel was quite adequate for a short break and is well placed to access all the amenities. The room was quite basic but comfortable in a quaint way. One plus was SKY SPORTS on the somewhat ancient TV in the room. From my personal perspective the fact you could smoke in the room was a plus. In fact Gibraltar... More

OK, so this is a bit dated but, unlike some others, I found it to be very clean with friendly staff. You do get what you pay for and this is maybe slightly better than you'd expect for the price. Would have liked tea/coffee in the rooms and be warned that on some floors (we were on 2nd) you have... More

Having read the all the negativity about this place on line I was a bit anxious about what to expect. But when we arrived we were delighted with our choice. Great location right in the old part of the city and easy walk to the main street, the big square, the cable car base and Ocean Village. Indeed, is only... More

It could double as a period set for a 1979 hotel drama but the staff were super helpful and friendly and the room not bad. Breakfast bleak, wifi weak ( but free) but in very handy location. Gibraltar needs to up its game with its hotels, I visited the Queens but was too scared to stay. There's money there but... More
