Good size room. Very friendly staff. Clean. Huge choice for breakfast. Value for money. . Easy walk to ferry get to Valetta. Directly by the sea. Pleasant restaurant nearby.
A little stressful to get away by car, as the area is very built up. Maybe breakfast a little overambitious - some of the cooked food was a little dry or cold, even early on, but given the huge choice this is only a very minor niggle.

I had not the room with sea view so I can speak about only the view from roof terrace which was absolutely gorgeous, the room and facility was satisfactory, breakfast was nice and delicious, in the early morning fresh. In general everything was okay.
It is a little overpriced, facilities are a little old but clean, btw if someone go there keep in mind that they have British style electric sockets so bring adapter if your charger needs different one

Friendly helpful staff. Comfortable rooms with a great view. Nice breakfast
Disappointed after paying extra for a "Seaview with a balcony" to find the balcony was a hinged patio door opening onto a 300mm deep ledge and a juliet style balcony rail. To be fair, the hotel website calls it a French balcony but booking.com's description of a balcony and deceptive picture is pushing it a bit. Enjoyed our stay despite this though

really good location. lovely staff. brilliant sea view on some rooms, really nice rooftop pool and terrace. it’s not 5star super luxe, but it’s excellent value for money and we’d definitely come back. thanks for a great stay.
little bits of decor could be refreshed and some of the decoration finish is a bit patchy but it’s really not an issue, the important stuff is spot on: comfy beds, good tv, hot shower, good water pressure, breakfast is good enough and plentiful, lovely staff, EXCELLENT location, not too noisy, and all in all really great value.

The Check-in was perfect. Thanks to the french receptionist one (Jack?) and the welcome drinks. Also, we were very well served during Breakfast by the adorable colombian one (Angelica?)
I payed an upgrade in order to have a room with the view. The room was great but the view was a bit weird. Unfourtunetly, I payed a aeroport-hotel cab ride in advance trough booking.com, this is the first time I set this kind of service. The experience was terrible. I didn't take the ride and I was charged. I tried to connect to booking.com's cab partner but I do not received an satisfactory client phone service. I didn't expect to start holidays like that. Avoid to pay for this, the bus service works very well in the whole island.

The staff is excellent, they made our stay great, were very helpfull and answear all our questions.
Breakfast is not on the level for 4 stars, it needs improvement in quality of products and also variety. Nevertheless, staff on breakfast is constantly cleaning and maintaining everything so everything in the end looks much better :)

nice location, not very far from city center, comfortable beds, good breakfast
Doors/walls could be better isolated. easy to hear what’s going on in the corridor, heard the elevator sound every time it arrived on my floor

The buffet breakfast it was very varios and tasty . The staff it was very welcoming and frendly. The pool area was very nice, with loads of sunbeds, hairs and tables. you can enjoy the sunset with a drink as it is on the roof. The rooms are quite old but very very clean. Every day you get a housekeeper doing your bed and topping up toilet paper and taking out the rubbish.
The hotel it is quite old, so if you go for something modern I woud not recommend, the photos are a bit misleading on the internet, however that does not mean you gingto have a bad experince as we enjoyed it a lot. The double bed, however was just two single beds put in together and there was a gap in the middle, which was not very comfy.

The rooftop pool and bar. We went there every day. The bar keeper is a great man, he made real efforts to keep us happy. Other than that, the front desk and cleaning personal was nice too. We have had a good time.
Timing of cleaning of the room! Sometimes it took them more than half a day to clean up the room, and sometimes they were banging on our door at 8am... very inconsistent. But after talking to the front desk and cleaning personal and requesting the cleaning to be done when it was more convenient, they figured it out after doing the talks for a few days.

The majority of staff were very friendly, polite and helpful. Breakfast was excellent and location superb.
One member of staff was not friendly. Our flight was delayed by nearly 5 hours so we arrived around 4am. The receptionist (older chap, minimal hair) barely said a word, no friendliness at all. Just said "passports" and held his hand out. Then we had a problem with one of the rooms as the aircon was broken and sounded like a motorbike engine (would not turn off either). The older man was completely unsympathetic and just said there was nothing he could do and there were no other rooms available. So 2 of our party took mattresses and slept on the floor in the same room as 2 others from our party. This was sorted out the next day to our satisfaction by the much more friendly day staff.
