Eclectic 2BR with shared terrace perfect getaway
A 2-bedroom apartment sleeping up to 4 in Town Area, in The Nook. Rated 9.1 from 14 reviews — above the Gibraltar median.
Our verdict
A 2-bedroom apartment in The Nook that reviews about as well as the Gibraltar average. The address is the reliable part here — the flats behind it are not all the same.
It sleeps up to 4, and is about 3 minutes' walk from Main Street. A small central block, consistently well reviewed and rarely remarkable. Shared across The Nook: lift access.
It holds 9.1 from 14 guest reviews on Booking.com — level with the Gibraltar median of 8.9 across 140 ranked places, and on a thin sample, so treat it as indicative rather than settled. Within The Nook it ranks 2 of 10, where the listings we track run from 7.3 to 9.2. Booking.com is the only channel carrying it, so that is where to read the reviews in full.
Practically, the cable car base is around 14 minutes' walk. With room for 4, it reads as a place for a couple or a small family who want to be able to walk to everything.

About Town Area
Gibraltar's historic centre and one of its seven districts, running from Casemates Square at the north end down Main Street to Southport Gates. Casemates is the point most visitors reach first, on foot from the frontier or up from the cruise terminal, and its old barrack arches now hold the bar and restaurant terraces. Behind and above Main Street the lanes are residential, and between them they hold more short lets than anywhere else on the Rock. Central and walkable to almost everything; loud on the square at a weekend, noticeably quieter three streets back.

Walk times
Estimated from mapped distance, not measured on foot. Gibraltar is steep — the return leg uphill takes longer than the number suggests. The cable car base is listed as a landmark: the cable car itself is closed for rebuilding until 2027.

Where this score comes from
We do not reproduce other sites' review text. We do tell you exactly where the number comes from, so you can check it rather than take our word for it.
Above the Gibraltar median
Gibraltar's median is 8.9, with the middle half of the market between 8.5 and 9.3. Guest ratings bunch up near the top of the scale, so 9.1 means less on its own than it does against the local market.

What guests say about The Nook today
These ratings are for The Nook Apartments, the courtyard block's operator — not this listing specifically. Read 1 September 2026, from 16 recent reviews.
- Guests fall for the character — a decorated courtyard entrance and warm, home-like interiors that reviewers describe as boutique rather than corporate.
- The two-bedroom units with a bathroom each get singled out for group and family stays.
- Kitchens are called properly equipped, and the tucked-away location off the main road reads as a plus.
Worth knowing. Noise between floors is the recurring gripe — footsteps and voices from upstairs appear in more than one review, and there are no blackout curtains in some units.
Worth knowing. No lift and no parking: reviewers flag it as unsuitable for anyone with limited mobility.
The most characterful of Gibraltar's apartment stays — reviewers use the language of a home, not a unit, and the 4.8 on Tripadvisor reflects it. It trades polish for charm: light sleepers should ask for an upper floor, and anyone who can't do stairs should look elsewhere.
