“Good location with a good breakfast”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2010

Just walk to the port and get the ferry to Morocco. And bus station is very close by and can get a bus to go to the Gibraltar. Some rooms overlooking the port. very good breakfast buffet is included to the room rates. must bargain for a good rate as this hotel used to be a good one but need lot of maintenance in all the rooms.

Dinner buffet also very good.

“dirty&bad smell”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 August 2010

if you go to marocco it's ok, but spend more days it's terribile! because the hotel is dirty and the city stinks, because it is facing a huge port.

“Location...is all that it has going for it”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 March 2010

We picked this hotel solely on location. It is directly across the street from the ferry terminal and down the street from our car rental agency. Other than that, there isn't much going on here. One of the floors (5th floor I think) is being completely renovated and is just a gutted shell. They charge you a 10 euro deposit for the remote control. The TV (while a flat screen) is a tiny 19 inch mounted on the wall and it doesn't work. The heat didn't work. The beds were like sleeping on slate slabs. The breakfast isn't that good either. The view wasn't too bad. Nor was the price, so I shouldn't be complaining that much.

So in conclusion, if you need to make that early ferry to Morocco, stay here. Otherwise, go somewhere else.

“We Fled to the AC”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 March 2010

Our tour group arrived on our way to Morocco for a 2-night stay. We were two couples travelling together and saw a total of 5 rooms. One had a sewer smell, three had visible mould (and the other two smelled of mould). This hotel might have the noisiest plumbing in Europe. The rooms were dingy and dark and very sparsely furnished. The telephone did not work in one, and in two the beds were dreadful. Everything looked dirty. The dining room had a great view of the harbour, but the food was cold and unappetizing. We left our tour group members to their own complaints and checked in at the AC. It wasn't very convenient for the tour (although they certainly were accommodating) but we were the happiest people there! Our tour guide said the best solution would be to "implode" the hotel and build again. Couldn't agree more. It had a great view, but the building was a disaster.

“Average”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 May 2009

An average hotel. Very central location right across from the port to Morocco. Although having said that, Algercias is not that big so there would have to better choices out there. In fact there is a lot of hotels in the streets behind this hotel. Average breakfast was included in the price. Rooms were very big and roomy, and the bath in the bathroom was a welcome sight. Not very clean room, the sheets in my room looked dirty. Overall, and average choice.
