I have stayed at the Al-Mar on numerous occasions since 2001. The reception is inviting and the staff speak passable English. Alas, over the years I have witnesses this hotel become tired and worn. I stayed there for nine days in October 2011 (@ 30Euros per night) and whereas breakfast used to be included it is now an extra 5Euros... More

We stayed here for two nights at the start of a trip to Gibraltar. It is opposite the port and quite old and tired, but we found our room clean and it suited our purpose. The garage car parking was useful and we travelled to Gibraltar by bus - the bus station is about 5 mins walk from the hotel.... More

Great location. Within walking distance of port, bus, train and centre of town. Staff are nice and helpful and spoke English. It is a very old hotel and some lights and electricity was not working. My room was clean and had a view of the port. Good for a cheap night in transit or the adventurous. More

My guide book shows Al Mar as 3-star-hotel. OK, everybody, it is 3 star in Algeciras, definitely not world standard. It is spacy, but really old, or I should say that it is an old hotel, hence it is spacious. A/C didn't work in my room. Some lamps were dead. They might need a overall repair !? It is not... More

Stayed for one night after visiting gibraltar all day. Close to train and bus station so we chose it. Our first room we had looked okay at first, but realized nothing was working such as the hair dryer and heater. Then we noticed in the bathroom hundreds of ants crawling everywhere, and looked more closely in the room and found... More

if you go to marocco it's ok, but spend more days it's terribile! because the hotel is dirty and the city stinks, because it is facing a huge port. More

We picked this hotel solely on location. It is directly across the street from the ferry terminal and down the street from our car rental agency. Other than that, there isn't much going on here. One of the floors (5th floor I think) is being completely renovated and is just a gutted shell. They charge you a 10 euro deposit... More

Our tour group arrived on our way to Morocco for a 2-night stay. We were two couples travelling together and saw a total of 5 rooms. One had a sewer smell, three had visible mould (and the other two smelled of mould). This hotel might have the noisiest plumbing in Europe. The rooms were dingy and dark and very sparsely... More
