The room was a bit too small for us / room 332 and the bathroom was a bit of a joke ... we moved from room 206 because there was no bath .. but the bath in 332 was so small it was not fit for purpose. overall i was expecting a much more luxurious room than we got

We arrived via the rock hotel bus stop as taxis are non-existent in Gibraltar and looking up at the hotel you get a very grand feeling but that’s all that’s grand. The staff were welcoming but we didn’t feel special. We made our way up to the room and found a letter under the door warning us that the water will be shut off at 11am the next day. The worst part about that letter is that it was covered in ants. The room was tired and needed a good clean, the floor was old and had traces of what we can assume is ant powder. After a long day we decided to head down to the bar for a quick bite to eat and the food was average at best. The ceasar salad was just salad and chicken smothered in mayo. The door had a bizarre locking mechanism which wasn’t explained at all and would leave the room open if not used correctly. The room had the very basics of what you needed. No spare pillows, no iron etc Air con was noisy and weak. The bed was like sleeping on concrete and using breeze blocks for pillows. I ended up sleeping on my jumper to compensate. The hallways have wooden flooring and you can hear absolutely everything going on in the night. When the room next to us came back and closed the door it sounded like it was our room. A few times throughout the night we woke up to the noise of people returning to their rooms. when mentioned the ants the next morning it was blissfully ignored as we were told to pay our bill.

Room was small but cozy. Best part was the balcony with a great view of the harbor and clean bed. Since the room was fairly small not much space in the bathroom.

I do have a grievance. The personnel was just not up to par with other 4-star hotels. We had to walk out on day one because after waiting nearly 20 minutes, nobody took our order. Second day, while we were waiting for coffee, nobody would come to serve us. I went to the person that was scheduling the tables and I asked for someone to bring our coffees, so what happened was that instead of lattes they brought drip coffee with milk. They still charged us 5,50 pounds for that (which was horrible). Anyway, not coming back to this hotel.
