What an experience
Horrible…..the sink didn’t work, there was no hott water for a shower. Also, the toilet didn’t flush and lastly the AC/heater didn’t work! Didn’t expect much but definitely didn’t expect that! I will say, it’s a great location for ferry and food… also bed wasn’t bad!

Great Location for the Port
The hotel is very well located for the port (about 5 minutes walk) if you are wanting to make day trips to Ceuta or Tangier. It is basic but the reception is open 24 hours and a really nice kebab takeaway next door with the staff speaking good English. It is about 10 mins from the bus and train stations too. The area can be a bit quiet late at night though.

The location of the hotel is excellent if travelling on the ferries to Ceuta or Tangiers, it is opposite the terminal gates. It is about a kilometre from the train station . It has been a lovely hotel in its day. The cafe next door offers food which is ok.

Great location.
The location was perfect for taking the ferry. The cafeteria next door was reasonable & delicious. The bed was comfortable. The bath/shower was spacious. Very clean! The only complaint walls were thin for late night talkers. No English tv stations. Only Spanish. Disappointing. Very walkable location. We'd return.

Thisis a beautiful old hotel on the waterfront.I loved its historic feel and the old elevator. Room was good, bathroom stellar after days of being on the road, and great location for boarding train and a tour bus for Morocco. Staff was very helpful and friendly. I'll recommend this hotel to anyone!

It's fine for a couple of days
I arrived at about 10pm,having made the trip from Tangiers. The reception guy was pleasant and immediately noticed that a mistake had been made - I had been allocated an upgraded room for the two nights. So I got this room for the first night at no extra charge and had to change to my basic en suite single the next day. No problem for me at all. It's near the port,which has its advantages but pretty far (for someone in their 7th decade) from the posher places in town with nice restaurants and large supermarkets. However, there are plenty of small 24 hour corner shops open nearby as well as snack or fast food places that are also open 24/7. On the second night I walked to the high town for a nicer meal. It took it out of me, but for a younger,fitter person it would be no problem. The one downside of the hotel in general was that they said they had no fridge at all to store some bits and pieces in overnight. The whole hotel was clean and comfortable enough including the rooms. The bathroom is spacious and well equipped. However, there were downsides to the room, as well as the hotel in general. There is a flat screen TV with satellite options. However, all of the channels are in Spanish. I didn't accept the offer of a remote control for the second night. And that TV is nailed down to the only table where one can put a laptop. So using the computer is rather cramped. I'd go back. It's certainly worth the low price.

For an overnight crash near to the ferry terminal for an early morning boat it was what I expected. They do not have their own parking and for security recommend a near by car park which it turns out I was in anyway. The major downside was that my no smoking room had cigarette ash in the bathroom but did not reek the way other hotel rooms have.

Pictured as a great hotel 30 years ago
Although it might have been great 30 years ago, it's not the 70's anymore. Not bad for an old hotel, but not also something to call the best.

One night only
We where intending to stay in Gibraltar me and my friend but as the price was ok for one room with twin beds we decided it's ok to stay here instead , photos look nice so let's go for it we thought .. Arrived to the hotel and it's above a loud of kebab restaurants and promising comunity possibly from morroco or so and when we got inside and started to do our check in the twin bed became a single bed , so we where obliged to have changed the room , and prices and the whole situation changed because what was mentioned on wotif wasn't 100% true so we whereby very pleased at all with the situation , but we paid and kept a straight face ... we had a meeting in Gibraltarvin 1 hour so we didn't have time to mess around ... When we get into the room , it's a very simple room , it was ok besides the matrace being those when you sit on you feel the bottom of the bed , and the bathroom being with black fungus in the corners , and paint splatters from repairs etc all over the mirror of the bathroom. You can't have a bath because there isn't any plug so only showers are alowed . But it's alright for one night and leave , but there are much better places that you can stay and for resinou the same price .. I hope this can help , but we where not impressed and pretty disappointed with the distortion of facts ... because that was the only reason we stayed there in the first place ....

You get what you pay for
The hotel is convenient to the port, that's its only good quality. The hotel staff are not helpful at all. Didn't have any information on the town ie maps, brochures. After checking out they would not let me use wifi to confirm my next hotel. The walls are very thin, be prepared to hear every neighbor. Room was clean but the beds were not comfortable. Would not stay here again.

Great location, nice staff.
The hotel is at a great location either if you want to travel to Tangier or to Gibraltar (port and the bus station is only a few minutes on foot) or if you want to go to the city center which is about 10 minutes by walk. The staff is very kind and helpful. Luggage locker room is available. Wifi sometimes works sometimes doesn't. Bed is a little cramped, however the room is very clean.

Convenient for Transportation
The hotel is located between the bus and train stations and the ferry terminal, which is directly across the street. You can't get more convenient for catching the ferry to Morocco. It is also perfect for a day tip to Gibraltar. The hotel itself is faded, though no doubt once classy. It had excellent double, double-pane windows to block street noise, and huge rooms, though no amenities and no food service in the hotel. There is a paucity of restaurants in the entire city center.

Hotel was not for me
Not a good hotel and in bad area, got in late and passed many escorts on the way from bus station so took a taxi. They issue you a remote for the tv, meaning they can't trust their guests with it normally. Didn't feel safe or comfortable. Changed hotels next morning. Wouldn't stay again.

Quick stay at Algeciras.
The old low-cost hotel is facing the busy Algeciras Harbour, surrounded by shops, bars and restaurants. Nothing much to see here. Just a convenient base to do daytrip to Tangier. We booked the RT trip to Tangier from one of the shops next door on the street. The fare included bus to Tarifa and back, about 63 Euros/person. We booked with Intershipping ferry company. The bus stop was across the street from the hotel, but still a 10-minute walk. Clean & reasonable size room. AC not working well. Breeze from the window helped.

Marina Victoria will give you what ou paid for. Basic, confortable enough ensuite rooms. located next to the Port it is an ideal place to spend a night waiting for your ferry. I'd recommend particularly if you are in a budget.

Convenient hotel to algeciras ferry
The room was basic. The cooler did not work very well, so it was hot and the street noise kept us awake. Complained to the hotel staff-they just said sorry. Convenient hotel for overnight stay if you are going by the ferry to Tangier. I would not use it for more than a day.

Good location with the Algeciras ferry port across the street and all other services within walking distance. Tour office next door with ferry tours offered to Africa from Algeciras or Tarifa. I took a tour from the Tarifa ferry port to Tangiers. A free bus was available from the Algeciras ferry parking lot to and from the Tarifa port. The tour was 50 euros but along with ferry ticket a tour guide led with a walking tour of the Tangiers market center, free lunch, and an ending bus tour of the city. A stop was made if you wanted to take a picture on a camel. Started at 10:00 am leaving the parking lot and ended up back at the hotel at 9:45 pm. A busy day well worth it. At the hotel, keep the windows closed at night as flying insects get in and I was on the 5th floor. I was amazed at what kind of insects can fly.
