I really enjoyed my stay. It’s nice to have such a lovely hotel in this area, and it’s a great incentive to explore the south of Malta. I had a small problem with my room at first, but the reception staff kindly let me stay in another room for one night and then move back to my original room once the issue had been resolved. The room also had a perfect amount of natural light coming in, which made it feel very comfortable and relaxing. All of the staff members were very positive, which really added to the atmosphere. The breakfast restaurant was also very vibrant and elegant, and they served really good coffee.

Great hotel in Superior Ocean View Suit.

What a fabulous hotel. If your can afford it, our last two nights of a 15 night tour of Malta & Gozo, so we treated ourselves, to a superior deluxe ocean view room, well worth the extra! The morning sunrise is fabulous!

Staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. Very clean and renovated hotel. Great value for the money. Location is on waterfront with busy area. You would need to take transport (Bolt or Uber or bus) to Marsoxlokk to have small fishing village vibe or Blue Grotto.

The staff exuded a genuine warmth and friendliness which made us feel welcomed. Our room was impeccably clean and quite comfortable. The hotel is located in a quaint community of Malta near the sea. We were fortunate to have a room with a view of the sea. Although we only stayed one night, it was an enjoyable experience overall.

Clean room. Beautiful sea view, including a park and beach. Delicious breakfast buffet, great 24 hr staffed front desk, 10 minutes by car from the airport. Also quick ride by bus (Malta Public Transport). 12 ride shareable bus pass just 19 euros, can be bought right in the airport. Highly recommended.

This was our third visit in the last 12 months. The hotel is on the sea front, a small sandy beach is just across the road and promenade. All the staff are very friendly and helpful. The whole hotel is kept very clean. The rooms are cleaned every day, They are reasonably spacious, a very good bathroom with a good shower. Plenty of storage space, with an open cloths hanging unit with a free to use safe, also a free to use small fridge. A good buffet breakfast, and coffee made to order, the breakfast staff are very attentive and have time to chat with the guests. There are 3 lifts serving from the foyer to the 7th. floor. It is not far from the airport, around 15 to 20 minutes by car, There is a very good bus service by the hotel and there is a public bus service to the airport. There are some restaurants close to the hotel and the area is generally very quite.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Room floors were not clean with other people’s hair in several places, beds were VERY hard and had thin mattresses with springs you would feel, pillows were thin and not possible to open any window or balcony door without significant street noise and air conditioning not functioning. Room heaters, yes, but cooler air, no. Bathroom was nice but small and would be difficult for a larger person to get under the shower. Water pressure and heat were good. Nice breakfast buffet and staff was pleasant.

Not good idea cash deposit for amenities

Staff very kind, really bad experience when needed beach towels, a clothes iron or a hair dryer you need to have 20 Euro cash in order to pay a deposit that will be return as soon as you return the item back to the reception. I suggested Credit card they said not possible, another currency which I have on hand they said not possible either. Nowadays is less and less of us with cash, and since I travel frequently to so many countries is not even possible for me have cash in so many currencies. So I will suggest maybe an iron station per floor so you can go there and iron your items. And for the beach towel maybe an ID or make a notation, at check-in we were asked for a 100 Euros deposit per room so if towel or towels not return the hotel can discount from there, just make it convenient for the guests.

Sauber.Zimmer geräumig.Balkon mit Meerblick.Personal sehr freundlich. Aber: direkt vor dem Hotel Baustelle/Straßenbauarbeiten. Bei geöffneter Balkontür Lärm unerträglich.Presslufthammer, Bagger , Betonmischmaschine. Stromgenerator etc. , von morgens bis abends inklusive Samstag und Sonntag! Ich habe die Hotelmamanagerin darauf angesprochen und gesagt, dass ich erwartet hätte, rechtzeitig über diesen Umstand informiert zu werden.Sie entgegnete mir , im Hotel selbst gebe es keine Bauarbeiten.Die Straßenbauarbeiten könne die Hotelleitung nicht beeinflussen. Die Gäste darüber zu informieren, sei nicht ihre Aufgabe.Ich hätte auf Google Maps nachschauen und somit feststellen können, dass sich vor dem Hotel eine Baustelle befindet.
