Wonderful location, nice services
and very good breakfast
We had a lovely time staying here. The staff are amazing specially the breakfast staff. Saviour and the team are wonderful kind and helpful. Our room had everything we needed and was really comfortable. The location is great, lots of shops, bars and restaurants to choose from and easy access to get around Malta.
Staff very efficient and very helpful. The hotel is good place to stay for location if you require some nightlife. We had a high floor room which was good way to avoid any late noise
Staff were great, i put in a recommend that the room needs a mini fridge and the next day it gets brought to my room. All the staff were great from start to finish. Hotel and room clean, close to a bus route to valletta.plenty of options for food around. Will use hotel again.
The hotel is spotless and clean. Staff arr super helpful and friendly.
Breakfast was good. Always a good selection on offer.
Bar prices werent excessive.
Room amenities were spot on.
Access to the health suite next door was a great perk too.
All on all.
10/10.
Staff was great, room was clean, however room was very noisy it sounded like people were moving furniture all day long. Then at night there was music all night long even though they said the rooms were soundproofed all in all though it was a good stay
The staff were extremely friendly and helpful in this hotel. I actually feel they went above and beyond to make our stay brilliant. The hotel was kept spotless clean and the layout was great. The hotel was in an ideal location and felt safe. The views from the terrace and balcony were great and gave us the option of eating both indoors and out for breakfast
Basic hotel but outstanding as such. Lovely breakfast included- cooked full English and continental - grab bags available if you want take breakfast out. Room clean , beds comfy. Can be a little noisy late on an evening due to the nightclubs surrounding the area of hotel- but not too bothersome. Good location to bus routes and several places walkable. Plenty of dining options. Would definately recommend .

The staff interaction was very good, breakfast was healthy, but noise and music from neighbouring properties made sleeping uncomfortable and annoying. We moved from the fourth to the sixth floor, but still could not go off to sleep until 3:00-4:00 am.
Great staff, breakfast and location. Very good! Would recommend!!!
The only thing that is weird is the pool situation- it’s kind of unclear. That isn’t an issue for us though. Loved it.
