We had a great time at The Rock hotel! The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable, although one member of staff told us that we had to book to use the pool at a cost of £30 each for the day. That was a shock, as it said nothing like that when we booked! However, after speaking to another member of staff a couple of days later, we were told that the pool was free if we were staying at the hotel.

Nice hotel, 50’s retro style, could do with some modernisation in facilities, unfortunately I did not like the fact people were allowed to smoke while others were still eating in the restaurant/veranda area.

The hotel was Central and well situated to the attractions we were looking to visit. The hotel provided a great breakfast and the bar area was pleasant to sit in with great views of the harbour. The pool was detached from the Hotel but was in easy walking distance and was a great quiet spot to spend a hot afternoon.

Fantastic staff, every member couldn't do enough for us. Lovely rooms, beautifully decorated with comfy beds. Nice and clean. Plenty of seating in bar and restaurant. Choice of inside or outside dining. On a bus route, plenty of local taxis available. Would definitely recommend.

Staff made us pay for a third child. Even though we bought two rooms. One of the rooms had 2 beds and a sofa. Still charged us $50 to move a third bed into a big room that already could sleep three.

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.

Liked: Room comfort

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.
