The welcome bottle of wine and pleasant/helpful staff were much appreciated. The cleaning staff needs work and the property should have ‘do not disturb & make up the room’ sign/s for the maid staff. They don’t seem to know what is needed for obvious reasons. The room service & food were excellent and the balcony view of Valletta was sublime.
