This hotel had it all. Bar, restaurant, gym, jacuzzi, steam room and a roof top pool. Ideal location for bus routes and within walking distance to Sliema shopping area and the marina in St Julians. Fantastic buffet breakfast with options to suit everyone. Fruit, cereals, breads, cooked meats, pastries and more all with juices, teas and coffees. Very clean with daily housekeeping. Modern room and bathroom.

Room had been advertised as with a balcony. There was none, it was literally a metal surround outside the window which you could not stand on never mind sit on.

- 20 minutes by taxi from the airport - we had a large, quiet room on the 6th floor with a sea view (603) - luggage storage and dressing room so that you can still enjoy all the facilities of the hotel if you arrive early or leave late. hotel. -very friendly staff -Everything in the hotel looks very well maintained and clean. The location is perfect, you can easily walk to St Julians Bay or the other way for the Ferry for the crossing to Valetta (2.00 per person - one way / 3.70 for return). Swimming opportunities in the Sea are opposite the hotel. And nearby are a few nice restaurants where you can enjoy a delicious meal with a sea view. Also the sea water swimming pool is not far. With sunbeds and restaurant (recommended) We still hesitated whether we would stay in Valetta, but afterwards we are happy with the choice to stay in Sliema. The most wonderful thing about the hotel, as everyone already writes, is... the breakfast. Everything fresh, lots of fruit, pastries/sweets/eggs fried and scrumbled, English breakfast, very extensive and everything is continuously replenished and kept clean. So no empty dishes, even if there are not many people in the breakfast room. Everything very well organised.

Location and stuff were nice, rooms were cleaned regularly and towels were changed every day. Overall good experience.

I booked a single (queen size) bed but in the end got two single beds, which is not okay.

This hotel exceeded all our expectations. Its central location was ideal, and the rooms were both comfortable and spotless. The rooftop pool offered breathtaking views. However, what truly made our stay memorable was the exceptional service. The hotel staff, especially hotel manager, Adarsh at the reception and the super attentive bar service, went above and beyond to ensure a perfect experience. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Sliema.

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

Very nice, polite and friendly personnel. Good breakfast selection, nice view (seafront room), mini fridge, good location.

Room needs some refurbishment, furniture and bathroom is a bit tired, AC was pretty noisy. No soundproof windows or door. Seafront room with french balcony so a lot of fly in the room if window open. No umbrellas on pool area.
