An excellent hotel, close to the cable car base. (Be warned, though, that if you're wheeling luggage from the bus stop, the climb up to the hotel is quite steep. Also, my room's lighting was weird; I couldn't find a way to turn off a couple of lights (I had to unscrew the bulbs to turn them off).)

Location: up a steep hill a bit of a walk from the city centre, with lovely views over the harbour towards Spain with the Rock behind. Room: clean and a good size, has aircon (that isn't pointing directly at the bed so cools the room nicely without you sleeping in a draft). Balcony was lovely to enjoy, shame the guests in the room next door kept smoking on their balcony, forcing me inside. In room fridge was also welcome, I kept drinks in there to keep cool in the hot weather. Swimming Pool: salt water pool across the road, lovely location with the gardens around and when floating on your back you have a great view of the Rock. Breakfast: could have been better for the price, especially the coffee, but adequate. Overall staff were friendly and welcoming, check-in was easy and they were happy for me to leave my suitcase early and go explore. Checkout I had to wait for the staff to finish their smoke break which was somewhat annoying when you've got a flight to catch.

Good, but "could do better".

Overall it was very enjoyable, especially the pool. There were some 'niggles' though. The breakfast buffet was quite good, though nothing like so good as many in hotels I have stayed in with a far lesser rating. There wasn't a coffee machine so getting a refill was haphazard at best. Service in both the breakfast room and the bar was bordering on poor with long waits to get any attention. Our room was well maintained and clean and the beds were very comfortable, plenty of storage space too.

Unfortunately our stay was rather disappointing. Our double room would have been fine for one night, or a single person, but not a couple for 5 nights. It was very cramped, rather shabby, and the smallest shower room I’ve ever seen. It should not have been allocated to us. The service was good, if slow at times. The food was very good, breakfast was good value for money. The pool is lovely, even if you have to cross a busy road to get to it. A zebra crossing would be far safer! Unfortunately, we left a day earlier than we’d booked for, when we told reception we were leaving early because we were uncomfortable, they were not concerned in the slightest. We won’t stay here again, the great food, good service and lovely views do not make up for the negatives for us.
