Bristol Hotel

Good location！Next to the main street and the plaza. Easy to access any where. The customers may ask the staying hotel. Bristol is well noted on its history.

We are staying in the Bristol hotel, Gibraltar for 3 nights before travelling on into mainland Spain. The flight is easy from Bristol UK 3:30hrs and we thought it fun to spend a couple of days in the rock and stay in the hotel that is our namesake of where we are from I'm the UK, big mistake! The hotel is from the colonial days and had revived much attention since then. It feels like a hotel out of the 80's. The A/C is a floor unit added into the room that blows coldish air line a fan but doesn't cool the room down. The bathroom is super hot and the shower a drizzle. There's a TV but don't expect to find any channels on it and you can't get Netflix. The fridge is just another cupboard as it cools nothing. The worst of all is the continental breakfast. There's no fruit, the yogurt pots taste like dry powder splashed with a little water and the coffee tastes like it's made from instant. For the price is a standard 3 star hotel, this feels like it just makes 1 star and tastes being generous!

This is the worst hotel I have ever had the displeasure of staying in , fusty smells , stains on walls and carpets. Rock hard beds. Very dated with awful carpets and wood panelling , really over priced for what is no where near a 3 star hotel it’s a 1 at best.

I picked the hotel because of it's location & the fact it had a pool. From the outside it looks modern, inside however it's stuck in the 1930's. Maybe that has a certain charm for some, for me not so much. My room No. 203 stank like it was also stuck in the 1930's, this was what i used most of my deodorant on...however despite leaving the windows open all day the smell remained... Great that I had a small fridge & a makeshift air con unit but I could not reduce the fan noise on the unit meaning I wasn't able to leave it on during the hot sticky night. The bathroom was just as dated & the sink taps strangely placed so that it was difficult to open the cold tap... The breakfast was average as no fruit or hot food was included - so it should state that - because a hot breakfast is standard in UK hotels. The croissants were also not fresh & just packaged ones from the shop. Some staff were lovely others felt a little rude at times. The pool area, bar & breakfast area is actually outside the hotel & across the road - definitely something i've never encountered before. However these areas were nice. The pool area especially so - kept to a nice standard, the pool was cleaned daily & it got the sun all day too. There were shady areas if people needed too. The pool bar was disappointing in that they didnt have a card machine - it's 2025!! Forcing you to pay by cash when you only get back Gibraltar pounds which you cannot use in London is not ideal. So I just went to the local shop instead. The airport bus drops you a short walk away & everything is within walking distance, including the rock cable car. I was able to check in extremely early which was a massive plus for me & they do have a luggage room for storage. They dont however have a shower room which is strange considering the size of the hotel. Paying for a late check out was also very expensive at over half the cost of my actual room price. Overall if I found a cheap enough deal & I got a room that didn't smell i probably would return - just for pool & the location but otherwise look elsewhere.

Although a bit dated and tired I found the room was regularly cleaned, bed made up every day. Having said that, all I need is a bed to sleep in and a pool to cool off in.

If you want a modern hotel with a cooked breakfast, don't book the Bristol. If you want a reasonably priced, comfortable hotel in a brilliant location, with friendly staff, this is the place to go. We stayed for three nights, the room was dated, but spacious and clean with comfortable beds. The bathroom was huge and looked like it had had a revamp recently. There was an air conditioning unit which was a bit noisy, we found if we ran it until we were ready to sleep, the room temperature remained cool enough during the night without it on. Other than that, we didn't hear any noise from outside or other guests. The breakfast is basic but OK, with croissants, toast, cereal, cooked meats, cheese and yoghurt. The pool area is gorgeous and was never busy when we went down there.
