The Rock Hotel, Gibraltar | Great Hotels in Gibraltar

Are you looking for great hotels in Gibraltar? Then you need to stay at the luxurious, historical and beautiful Rock Hotel in Gibraltar. Here is my review for your consideration.

After landing at the airport we took an extremely short cab ride to The Rock Hotel, Gibraltar. This hotel is literally on the rock of Gibraltar. It is one of the great hotels in Gibraltar. It’s has a five-star rating. It overlooks the city and the bay. This hotel is definitely a great place to stay for anyone’s luxury travel vacation.

The suites

The Rock Hotel in Gibraltar has amazing suites. There’s a living area with a couch, table and dining room section.

Our bed

The bedroom is big, well decorated and comfortable. The king-size bed is soft and the blankets are great. Getting a king-sized bed in Europe is not as easy as it sounds, therefore this is incredible. If there is any doubt in your mind that you’ll find great hotels in Gibraltar, look no more, you found one!

If the giant bed isn’t great enough, there’s a giant flat-screen TV across the bed.

The AC vent blows directly on you from the ceiling (I love a cold hotel room.) However, the AC controls were a little difficult to work with. The touchpad had too many buttons and nothing happened if you tried to fiddle with it. Either way, the Rock Hotel, Gibraltar is great. I’m certainly not complaining.

The monkeys come to you

The balcony is big enough to lounge on and enjoy the breathtaking view. Although, they tell you not to leave the balcony door open because wild monkeys will climb in your room looking for food. Honestly, I thought it was a joke.

Because of the monkeys, the balcony door has two functions, it can open slightly from the top or it can open like a regular door. This ensures the monkeys don’t get in.

To my surprise, we saw a family of monkeys climbing our balconies during our stay. It was incredible.

The restrooms are basic but have all the amenities you’ll need for your stay. If I had any complaints about the restroom it’s the lack of water pressure in the shower but otherwise, the room is perfect.

The Amenities

The concierge is very nice. They will do everything to accommodate you. They have an umbrella service for when it rains. However, if there’s a strong storm they might be out of them. I broke my umbrella in the storm. It was not pretty. I felt like a tossed doll in a tornado.

The Rock Hotel, Gibraltar has a tasty restaurant called The Terrace Restaurant. We used the restaurant the first night and had a delicious dinner.

Salmon flavored Quiche or cupcake or whatever it was…

We started with salmon flavored cupcakes. This cute and small pink cupcake looked delicious. Even though I don’t like cupcakes I threw it in my mouth and realized it’s was made out of salmon. I chewed it up and gulped it down and quickly told my partner it was fish-flavored.

He detests seafood and gave me his, which I didn’t eat. As the chef came by to see how everything was, she notices a cupcake on my plate and gave me a stern talking to… Please do not shove food down my throat! Even food that’s not mine.

The bar

The bar is big. It has great lighting and decor. However, the service is slow and Americans like fast service.

This bar took its time to get our drinks. We’re not used to that. The drinks were superb nonetheless.

The bar, even though its directly in front of the hotel’s restaurant, it acts as a separate entity.

The next day we had high tea. It’s lovely and the tower of scones, sandwiches, and desserts is tasty. High tea is a must, even if you don’t eat at the other restaurant.
