Room on the first floor was horrendous (stale fried food smell, cigarette smoke and noise from cafe-bar below in plazita). When we changed to the 3rd floor on the second night, things were much better.

Nära Gibraltar till en låg kostnad.
Hotellet ligger i ett område med många caféer, restauranger, basarer och affärer. Vill man gå till Gibraltar så tar det ca. 20 minuter. Vill man bo billigt utan lyxiga rum är detta ett alternativ.

OK for a short stay
Staff are very friendly and helpful but speak little English so translation app or phrasebook is useful.
Double room was small but comfortable, bathroom very clean with bath/shower, toilet and bidet. No soap or hand wash provided which is a bit inconvenient, although sachets of shower gel and shampoo are available.
Restaurant is very good value but does not open till 8pm.
Good location for visiting Gibraltar.
Big downside was the VERY LOUD music from one of the bars at the back which went on till 4am on Saturday morning - take earplugs!

Our experience
Had a great stay at this small hotel! It’s very close to Gibraltar, therefore you may walk 15 minutes right to the border front. The hotel itself allows smoking rooms and non-smoking rooms which is perfect! The location of the hotel is also great, because it’s on the safe side of La Línea, alongside with this it has great bars, pubs, shisha lounges and restaurants downstairs. The only bad thing was that the WiFi was very weak, it never worked! No matter which one you connected too. Everything else was perfect!

Hostal Carlos 2
Hostal Carlos 1 didn't have our reservation but were very helpful finding us a room in Hostal Carlos 2 and providing a taxi for the very short distance. Our review therefore reflects Carlos 2. This is a city centre hotel and therefore you need to accept nights may be noisy whilst the fun continues. The hotel is all beautifully tiled and therefore corridor sound from inconsiderate guests is irritating. Staff were very good as was cleanliness. A good value hotel.

Helpful staff. Fine value for money. My wife and I felt welcome, and we recommend the hotel to others who want to visit Gibraltar. By the way, La Linea is far more interesting!

Great hotel close to Gibraltar
The hotel is ideally situated on the border with Gibraltar and is ideal if planning to spend some time in the 'British Territory' and for under half the price of staying in Gibraltar. Border crossing on foot only takes approx 20 mins, unlike travelling in a vehicle where there may be delays. Great hotel in a great location. Helios

Basic, but inexpensive and clean
Helpful staff, basic rooms (but clean) free WiFi, close to shops and border. Really couldn't complain. No issues with noise where I was. Couldn't beat it in terms for value for money.

Highly recommendable.
We was delighted with hostel, very clean, fresh and welcoming. There was lot's of very friendly pubs, bars, restraunts and shops on the door step. Just a walk away from Gibraltar. Would highly recommend. We will definitely be going back.
