    I stayed at this hotel previously and would definitely come back. The property was fairly clean with incredibly nice and always pleasant stuff and hot breakfast. The location was favourable, at walking distance from Bisazza Street...

    The reception staff was extremely helpful with suggestions as to where to go and how to get there. Always happy to help with taxis which we needed as it was extremely hot. Location - the hotel is in Sliema which is very central, close to bus stops, restaurants, cafes but not in the noisier tourist area. Room was cleaned nicely every day and towels changed if left on the floor (as explained in a notice in the bathroom).

    It was very hot in Malta during our stay - 36 degrees and 80% humidity. The airconditioning in the room was not strong enough to keep the room cool enough to our liking.

    Free parking, good view on the bay, easy access to the ferry to Valletta, cruises, large room.

    It's rather 3 star hotel than 4, few facilities in the room, breakfast could be better, strong smell from the toilet (because of the first floor?). The location is good just for the first time when you discover Malta in particular Valletta. Next time we would live either closer to the beach or near different entertainments, night-life.

    Nice, a bit outdated hotel very close to all kind of public transport facilities. Nice restaurants.

    The swimming pool is under reconstruction which wasn't told at the moment of booking. The replacement, a kind of a sun terrace, had only a few sun chairs allthough the hotel was fully booked.

    Hardly heard a sound from other residents, very peaceful. Conveniently situated for touring and shopping. Breakfast was very good and the optional dinner was also very good value.

    No tea/coffee making facilities in room. Poor choice of English TV channels. The bathroom in our room was in need of refurbishment.

    I was given an excellent sea facing room with a fabulous view. The hotel was also positioned to get sun throughout the shorter winter days and was in a good location for walking along by the water. I got good value from my stay.

    I would have liked fresh coffee at breakfast rather than using a machine.

    Magnificent location close to the Sliema ferry to Valletta and several bus stops, the bars and restaurants and Malta in a shopping area. New-fashioned and updated rooms with a good partial view, balcony, as for instance, enjoyable breakfasts.

    The friendly, helpful attitude of all the staff. The spotless consition our room was maintained to. Excellent hot water facility, no waiting whilst the cold bit goes through the pipes!. Hotel is near to Bus Stops, and therefore Valetta is easily reached, making Bus Travel around Malta fairly easy.

    The hotel has the potential to be a proper 4 star hotel in a very central harbourside location

    Too many things (the wi-fi being out of order, the poor conversion of two single beds to a double, no tea making facilities in the room, dirty plates and unappetising food for breakfast) could be easily improved.

    The location is fantastic, with easy access to the ferry and fine views from upper floor rooms. The staff is great, quickly addressing any issues we encountered. The rooftop pool was not functional , a letdown.
