you get what you pay for
We were drawn to this hotel for the price and that should have been an indicator of what we would be getting. Our room was spacious and did have a fanstatic ocean view that was just breathtaking in the morning. There were two issues we had while staying there, the first was minor, the paper thin shower curtain and rod kept falling out of the wall. The second was major and could have really put a dampor on things, apparently when it rains in Malta the winds and rain are so strong that it is common for the windows, doors, etc to leak adn for water to surround your closed and locked doors and windows. This information would have been helpful knowing in advance so we didn’t have our luggage right near the door leading to the "balcony". Several of our items were wet influding a saturated carpet that went about 15ft inot the room. The maintence dept’s idea of fixing the problem after we complained at the front desk was to throw blankets ontop of the wet carpet. Not a pleasant surprize when you come back to your hotel at the end of the day. the location was great, right near a bus line that we took everyday we were there.

Tired hotel best suited to large groups
I found the hotel to be tired, with room having bare minimum fitout - bathrooms tired, and need updating. The restaurant is in the basement - had one dinner there, and breakfast for 3 days. Institutional is the best description, and very tired, minimal choice. The hotel does not have an internal laundry, and if you put laundry out the hotel has a world leading 48 hour response time. Very tired, institutionalised, no money being spent on it - its cheap, but not good value.

NOT RECOMMENDED
The only good thing about this hotel is the view from the room if you get an ocean-view hotel. There is very expensive wi-fi connection. 2 euros for 30 minutes, and you can only connect once. The speed is terribly slow, and gets disconnected frequently. The front desk refunded me the money when I complained. The phone in my room did not work. The lady at the front desk said she will send for service, which never came. One of the girls that works day shift closed her register 30minutes before her shift was over. She would not sell me the internet connection voucher because she closed her register early.
