We had twice stayed here, enjoying the faded early 20th Century style & the gigantic Bay tree in the garden. This week, stuck in Algeciras, awaiting a car repair, we opted for a drink & lunch, in civilised surroundings. What a let-down! The Bay had been felled & replaced by scattered "cabanas", presumably occupied by the under-dressed rabble who thronged... More

We chose this hotel as we were interested to know what it was that attracted, amongst many other notables, Edward Heath, Rock Hudson, the Sultan of Johore and KingXIII of Spain. Whilst Algeciras is not the most pleasant of cities it was our stop before travelling to Ceuta. We were delighted with the gardens and public rooms of the hotel... More

What a lovely time we had at the hotel , first of all there is a new young Head chef his buffet food and presentation is first class unfortunately the Maitre D took ill after a few days but Juan recently promoted was an excellent stand in and ran his team very well . There are one or two staff... More

Internet bookings get placed in a dark basement corridor that smells bad. Lots of elderly people dancing. The rooms are very bad furnished but are spacious. The outdoor is splendid with very nice garden and two swimming pools. Breakfast also very good. I might give it a second chance but only because is the only hotel with swimming pool I... More

Whilst the hotel is amazing in pretty much every way possible (cleanliness 5* / staff helpfulness 5* / facilities 5* / food 4*) the location within Algecerias is very poor. The town is just a bog standard port town which is quite rundown at that - the town does not have many tourist attractions except one sole square with a... More

Have just returned from a girls break too this great hotel. We were looked after so well and nothing was too much trouble. Will be returning again in June with my husband for our summer holidays.When we arrive we are totally relaxed which is so important with the jobs we do. We have been going to this hotel since 1999...

Had a brilliant 3 night stay. We used it as a base to go to Gib. The hotel was very clean and welcoming if I had to find any fault it would be that the buffet evening meal was only available on one night of our stay, the a la carte menu was quiet limited but the buffet was fantastic.... More

If you're taking the ferry to/from Morocco, this is a restful place to regroup. The Reina Cristina is past her prime but a welcome oasis near the industrial port and a fascinating glimpse into bygone days of elegance and intrigue. Good value with buffet breakfast and dinner included. We joined the party on a Saturday night, with the dance floor... More

Stayed here before and after our ten day trip to Morocco leaving our rental car in secure parking with no extra charges. Able to walk to port in 20 minutes to catch ferry to Algier. We loved the hotel which has beautiful grounds, lovely large room with mini fridge, lots of windows, fresh fruit with complimentary wine and water and... More
