Cannon Hotel Review

Owned and operated by Joe Bossano, one of the former chief ministers of Gibraltar, this informal downtown hotel occupies an old-fashioned 19th-century house on a narrow lane a few steps north of Main Street. Don't expect grandeur, as everything is very English-pubby-style, with a reception desk a few steps from the bar top, a lobby-cum-drinking area where everyone sees and hears everything. The staff, though not technically English Cockney, evokes the style and speech patterns of some of the gang members of Fagin's 19th-century London. Rooms are very simple at this government-rated one-star hotel. The midsize units are light and airy with twin beds.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; nonsmoking rooms

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
