Needs work

The beautiful iconic “The Rock Hotel” This historic hotel is now a little passed its prime. I feel The owners have taken there eye off the ball. It holds so much wonder & there are select few staff members that shine like your expectations would be. None of the staff were unpleasant & most had the correct attitude to guests, but for a premium hotel lacked training & professionalism. Our room had no electricity in the sockets upon our arrival & tripped (whilst we were not in residence) 3 more times. We were not overloading it as nothing was plugged in. Maintenance did come & assist the first time but as we knew the issue we flipped the breaker ourselves after this. The safety deposit box wouldn’t lock & there were other general issues that shouldn’t have been present in any hotel. We only ate in the restaurant once, where the food was not great & I couldn’t eat my prawn thermidor. Unfortunately its taste was just dijon mustard which took away any taste of prawn. The table wasn’t checked on & I was not asked if there was any problem when my full plate was collected. To top the presentation off, at each service all the plated food was practically thrown on our table. This made plenty of noise & food slid to one end of our plates. Mr Ghazis still had complete professionalism inside & out off the hotel (proper mister)

The hotel had a great view and the beds are very comfortable. I gave 3 stars because it was very loud. We could hear the people walking in the room above and the people talking in the room next door. Also the toilet was installed incorrectly , instead of facing outward it was sideways between 2 walls, not comfort table or even possible if you are a tall person, unless you sit on it sideways. I don’t know if all the rooms are like this. We ate dinner in the bar area and the food was so so and the service was not good. All in all it was a nice location and great view.

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.

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.

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).)
