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

Just stayed here on business for 3 nights. had some reservations having read other reviews. Yes the building is rough round the edges on the outside and a little dated on the inside.

Dear Atters68, Thank you for taking the time to contribute. I appreciate and thank you for your comments about the staff and our breakfast offering. Our impending investment will certainly take care of our infrastructural shortcomings and the remainder of our old TVs will be very much a thing of the past as we go thoroughly flat screen. Likewise, the... More

“Always lovely”

Reviewed 17 May 2013 via mobile

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

Dear Liz M, Thank you for this contribution. You will be pleased to read that we are working on Barbary Bar menu changes right now. Your comments about the food in our main restaurant are most welcome and we shall certainly look at the pace of service in there. The last thing that we want you to feel is 'hurried'.... More

“TRAVEL BACK IN TIME...”

Reviewed 17 May 2013

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.

Dear Reto1961, Thank you for your review. Your comment about our friendly staff is particularly appreciated. and as you say we have a location with views that are a second to none in Gibraltar - and many other places for that matter! Thanks once more. 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...

“Fantastic!”

Reviewed 10 May 2013 via mobile

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
