The Rock Review

This hotel overlooking the straits first opened in 1932, and although furnishings in the rooms and restaurants are elegant and colorful, they still preserve something of the English colonial style: bamboo, ceiling fans, and a terrace bar covered with wisteria. There are various whimsical touches, like plastic ducks in the bath and toy-monkey key rings, plus more useful amenities, like complimentary tea, coffee, and biscuits. The lavish buffet breakfast includes the typical English fry-up of eggs, bacon, sausages, mushrooms, tomatoes, and baked beans. Refurbishment (in stages) of all rooms and public areas started in spring 2012 and is expected to last a year.
