Decent old hotel in a walking distance from cafes, bars and 30 minutes walk away from Gibraltar. All good yet basic, some facilities feel old but are kept in good shape and clean.

Unfortunately, it is "you get what you pay for". The room was very small. Bed mattress was not good at all. In spite of the No Smoking side, the corridors smelled like the Smoking Parlor, and instead of the view of Gibraltar there was a view of the wall immediately in front of the window. It is probably OK for one night due to its proximity to Gibraltar, but not longer than that.

It is very close to Gibraltar, and the price looked extremely reasonable when we made a reservation.

Neighbours were a bit in considerate, too noisey, talking and slamming doors, till 2am in the morning and

Very friendly and supportive staff.

n/a as I didn't expect more for the price

Value for money. The room is very simple and reminds of old fashioned student accomodation. Furniture has seen better days. Great for a night or two on a budget.

the noises, but that was definitely the wind's fault

Friendliness of the staff, wonderful location.

A bit damp and musty but I guess it's because the building is rather old, but it is its charm.

Great location in the centre of the town, many parking spots in 5 minutes walking distance, nice staff, clean sheets and comfortable bed. I loved the ambience, my room reminded me in an uncanny way of the opening scene of "Apocalypse Now". I recommend this place.

The walls - no sound isolation (rooms and toilets), but for 1 night it's ok. The bed covers could be cleaner. It was cold..so if not a heater, then at least extra blankets would be nice 🙂

It was a good place one night stay! The staff is super friendly. We liked it!

As mentioned above, La Esteponera needs modernising as it is very dated and run down. However, it currently exceeded my expectations considering I only paid £15 per night for a single room.

This certainly isn't a 5* Luxury Hotel - you pay for what you get. But in my opinion, it's well worth the price I paid!! I was on a solo budget holiday to Gibraltar. La Esteponera cost me £15 per night for my own room with a shared bathroom. (The only hostel in Gibraltar cost £30 per night to share a room with 5 other people. The cheapest hotels in Gibraltar tend to cost in excess of £120 per night - so La Esteponera in La Linea is much cheaper than staying in Gibraltar itself!) The rooms are very basic and in need of modernisation, however, as I've said, you pay for what you get so you can't complain! La Esteponera is a few minutes walk to all the main bars and restaurants in La Linea, and about 10-15 minute walk to the Gibraltar border.

Staff were not very friendly and didn't seem to like receiving guests.

The room was nice and location not far from the centre nor from the border with Gibraltar, which is why we came here. Sometimes free coffee and tea at reception, also a microwave to heat some food.

They don't have heating. The room was cold.

The location

Stayed in December 2023

This hotel is like stepping back in time, except for the wi-fi. From its cosy, communal reception and tiled marble stairways to the bare rooms with just one light and one powerpoint, it is totally authentic. Blankets instead of duvets, and more in the cupboard if you feel chilly. No pretence to offer a contemporary 'boutique' or chain experience - La Esteponera is honest, practical, and local. You feel you are where you are - embedded in a frontier town on the edge of Spain. Those who want higher levels of comfort and are okay with blanking out their location as soon as they step off the street - this is not for you. For the real traveller - La Esteponera is just right.
