Gibraltar Hostels

Gibraltar is much less touristy than Costa del Sol. Prices are like in the U.K. and shopping is duty-free.

Gibraltar is very touristic and overpriced. But if you travel trough the south of Spain, it's a must to visit.

Gibraltar is a dump at the bottom of Europe. Stay in Spain -- it's cheaper and a lot nicer.

Gibraltar's a nice place. It can be costly but well worth the trip. The rock is scary to drive up though.

Gibraltar in very touristic and overpriced. But I must say The Rock is worth a visit. But I do recommend that you stay and eat in Spain to save money.

Gibraltar … I had a great time -- duty free booze and cigarettes. It's culturally interesting.

Gibraltar … It's a great place. I highly recommend it.

Gibraltar … It is very touristy, but I really enjoyed getting to see the monkeys run wild and see the caves and some of the history that was there. Duty free is good on some stuff and makes virtually no difference on others, but overall I would say definitely worth a day visit.

Emile Hostel in Gibraltar … Right in the the centre of town, of course with pros and cons. The staff was rather friendly, especially the young guy at the desk, really a good boy. I missed breakfast nearly all the time, one time I was able to be there right in time, hardly able to keep my eyes open. But I received what I paid for. Nice mentality of the owners and really nice visitors around. Also a pub is nearby. The owner of which is also a nice man. Nice visitors, too. I enjoyed the whole stay at Emile's youth hostel. Obviously the place was an old school building, perfectly situated in the middle of Gib. Cool. I want to come back. The hotels in Gib are much more expensive and Emile is right next to the big market place, where in summertime concerts are held, too. Cool Gibraltar, cool places to be. I miss the monkeys.

Emile Hostel in Gibraltar … Good friendly hostel, right in centre of town.

Emile Hostel in Gibraltar … This is probably your only budget option in Gibraltar, and for 15 pounds a night it is adequate. The beds have warm duvets for the winter. Trash cans would have been nice in the rooms and the bathrooms. There was plenty of hot water and the showers were free. The staff prepare your toast and coffee and bring it to you in the dining area, and if you want to do a tour of the Rock (highly recommended), just ask the hostel owner. They also let you store your things there while you look around on your check-out date. The lock-out from 12 to 4:30 was a pain, but overall a solid hostel.

Emile Hostel in Gibraltar … Bed n Breakfast. Bed was a bed. Breakfast was tea n toast. At that price I expected at least something on the toast other than jam, like an egg. Apart from that, lovely people.

Emile Hostel in Gibraltar … I stayed at this place several times -- summer of 1999 and 2002 as well as March 2004. It was the same everytime. A decent location by the main square at the end of the main pedrestrian street. The hostel itself, however, is quite expensive 15 pounds ($30+ USD) and is probably more now. The atmosphere is kind of dingy as well as the rooms. There is only one common area which is the dining room. It's okay (not great though) for meeting people. The staff is pretty average. One thing that kind of irked me is that you have to pay for the shower, and it requires a token (which you purchase) and only allows you five minutes of running water. There are other places (hotels) which are also in good locations and are much better for only a few more pounds.

Emile Hostel in Gibraltar … This is an abomination of an accommodation in a nation of frustration. The rooms were attrocious, the staff obnoxious and the city platitudinous! Never go here!!! They smell and their attitude stinks! It's also very expensive.

Emile Hostel in Gibraltar … I didn't like Gibraltar as a whole so that may influence my review! I thought this hostel was ridiculously overpriced, the toilets were dirty and smelly and the "breakfast" was awful. However you don't have a lot of choice, as this seems to be the only hostel on the island! Staff were helpful and it is quite central. Bedrooms were reasonably clean.
