We spent a week here and the hotel is very charming. Ideal for touring Southern Spain, (we did fron Cadiz to Ronda and Marbella quite comfortably). Saturday night is party night for the locals, they all come out in their best finery and dance the night away, the best spectacle I have seen in years. Decor is a bit tired... more

If you want chic boutique, this is not the hotel for you. If you want peace & tranquility in the middle of Spain's biggest port city, this is just up your street. With ample free parking, friendly reception staff, & clearly signposted throughout the town, staying here was easy and stress-free. I enjoyed an enormous room with the luxury of... more

This is a beautiful hotel and worthy of a stay. Like many we found ourselves here for the night before taking the ferry to Morocco. The Ferry is walking distance which mkaes it nice. This hotel is situated with great grounds and views and is a stunning place. Yes the rooms themselves could use some updating, but they are clean... more

Our stay at Reina Cristina was great. The price was hard to beat, and it was a relatively convenient location. It's just a short walk to the bus station for trips to Gib, or to get in and out of town. There is a great market in the center of town if you're spending a day in Algeciras. The hotel... more

Used this hotel for a one night stay prior to catching a flight from Gibraltar. Location can only be described as an little oasis is a busy port. Nice grounds, plenty of car parking, and probably great for relaxing in the summer. But our visit was in December and the weather was freezing - there was a lovely open log... more

This was definitely a grand hotel in 1930. Although nice, it is definitely dated and need modernizing. Our room was on the third floor at the front of the hotel. It was quiet, and had a view of the straights. It also had a door to the balcony which overlooked the grounds. Had a small refrigerator in the room which... more

I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights, August 28, 29 and 30th, 2008. Upon my return from Morocco. It's a large beautiful hotel, with great gardened grounds. Friendly and helpful, and English speaking front desk personel. Maid service was daily and efficent. The restaurant was buffet style for all 3 daily meals. The meals were tasty and filling, but... more

The hotel is not in a holiday resort and does not cater for package holidays. Most of the guests are either passing through, business people or occaisionally coach parties staying one or two nights. The rest, generally, are regulars like us who absolutely LOVE the hotel and come back year after year. They do cater for conferences and a lot... more

Having read the mixed reviews for this hotel we were at least forewarned of possible problems. However, we experienced none. The receptionist spoke clear and familiar English. The room was beautifully clean, spacious, will fitted and with a great power-shower. Ok, no coffee or tea-making facilities but that is not the general culture of Spanish hotels, pensions, hostals. You get... more
