Staff were awesome, really went out of their way to make it feel like a 5* even though I have to admit the building and grounds felt more like a 4*. It wad really dated and some things in my room were broken. Biggest complaint is the outdoor pool was so cold it was unusable. Great gym though and indoor... More

We stayed for a week, using it as a base to explore Malta, Gozo and Comino. Overall it did the job, however I expected more for the price charged. Pro's - location to Valetta - a short 5 mins walk - the swimming pool, and its view across the harbour - our room was fine, recently decorated even if the... More

Really Good hotel, with fantastic views. If you can, choose a delux full sea front room. Room very comfortable with magnificent views over the bay. Breakfast more than substantial with good quality food in abundance. Had dinner one night in the hotel and again wasn't disappointed. Did the tour of North of the Island on our last day and it...

I was only disappointed that I had to wait untill 2 PM to check in. The staffis excellent. I was able to book a tour with the hotel car. The... More

This hotel is a great location if you want to escape the bustle of the city and don't want to stay "in the middle of it all" but is still within very close reach of the town. The pool area, fitness centre, indoor pool is all great for relaxing. The staff are quite friendly and helpful and the rooms are... More

As evidenced by the varied reviews it appears that this hotel is rather hit and miss. My first 'standard' room was closer to a prison cell! Situated on the entrance level it had a 'land view'. This meant a high window which looked out onto a 2m high wall just a meter or so from the window, with broken pipes... More

Wonderful friendly staff, food choices, general excellence. Carpet in room shows it's wear, but, the beggest negative is almost non-existant Wi-Fi in rooms. More

A nice bit of five star luxury on the small island of Malta. Staff were extremely friendly, willing to help but not too intrusive into your private space. Stunning surroundings and rooms nicely done out. Although the air conditioning didn't seem to work, it just wasn't cooling the room. Probably not too much of an issue in April but in... More

General service was not so much bad, more alinged to being disorganised, possibly due to the start of the season and new staff on all guest facing services. Rooms were very comfortable and clean, food in the resturants (breakfast and dinner) were also very good. One complaint, it is possible to swim in the sea, or rather the mouth of... More
