Closest Studio to Gibraltar Border
A studio sleeping up to 2 in Marina Bay. Rated 7.8 from 230 reviews — bottom quarter in Gibraltar.
Our verdict
A studio in Marina Bay that reviews worse than most of Gibraltar, on 230 reviews.
It sleeps up to 2, and is about 28 minutes' walk from Main Street, in Marina Bay — Ocean Village's older, calmer neighbour, sharing the same water.
It holds 7.8 from 230 guest reviews on Booking.com — well below the Gibraltar median of 8.9 across 140 ranked places, and on a large enough sample that it is unlikely to move much. Set against every ranked place we track in Marina Bay, it comes 10 of 10 — in the lower stretch of them, where scores run from 7.8 to 9.6 and average 8.9. Booking.com is the only channel carrying it, so that is where to read the reviews in full.
Practically, the Spanish frontier is roughly 2 minutes away, which matters if you are parking in La Línea. With room for 2, it reads as a place for a couple or a solo traveller who would rather a quieter base than a central one.

About Marina Bay
The original marina, immediately north of Ocean Village and sharing its waterfront. Lower-rise and a little dated by comparison, which is precisely why people choose it — the same walk into town and the same boats outside the window, with noticeably less noise. Most dolphin trips leave from here.
