Hårlig utsikt, nära till det medta.

Trevligt hotell med bra frukost, bra poolområde på taket med en härlig vy mot Valletta och inloppet. Ett par minuters promenad till Färjan över till Valletta. Rent och fräsht hotell, trevlig personal. Enda att klaga på var väl att kalla det för balkong?? En liten balkong in mot en liten öppen yta och andra rum ett par meter ifrån. Fungerade att hänga badbyxor på. Annars kan jag rekomendera detta hotell.

Très bon séjour

3 nuits en couple pour visiter Malte. Hôtel très bien situé. Très agréable. Clim dans les chambres, possibilité de rendre la chambre à tout moment. Snack et boissons au rooftop avec petite piscine et quelques transats, idem devant l’hôtel, un système de bar restaurant Juste le petit déjeuner mériterai d’être amélioré niveau qualité des produits fruits/yaourt/gâteaux sucrés Sinon les œufs et bacon super !! Le personnel est très gentil, agréable et a notre service. Superbe vue mer sur la rue passante de Sliema

Bad furniture, ugly rooms, old beds, but clean, as clean something very old and broken can be. Anyway, room service daily and pleasant stuff. Also, good location, but too expensive for the service in general.

6/10 Good

Great view if you get seafront room. Pool and rooftop area was out of action , not stated when I made the booking so disappointed on that. Cooked breakfasts good. Rooms tired decor, damaged floor and wall tiles, sink. Fire alarm went off two nights in row around 2am, earlier alarm call than I’m used to.

The main reason to choose hotel pool with bar and snacks.When I booked they were said to be open. They were not open and therefore I feel we should get some sort of compensation. Ovreall then disappointed

Disappointed

The room was dated, however clean...nice view overlooking the sea...nosey at night. Breakfast was dreadful...no choice and had to wait to be served...cold!! This is the 16th time we have been to Malta..last minute booking so our normal hotel was booked up...will not stay here again, not the 4 star quality we are used to 😏
Erika, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Hôtel avec piscine en roof top très bien situé pour visiter La Valette et les 3 cités. Le personnel est très agréable et réactif. Le petit déjeuner propose du sucré comme du salé sous forme de buffet. La chambre était conforme à la photo ; le mobilier mériterait néanmoins d’être renouvelé et la salle de bain rafraîchie mais le rapport qualité prix reste correct pour l’ensemble de la prestation.

4/10 Fair

Staff were great. Bed was not changed once in whole stay. Advertised with pool but pool and terrace was closed whole stay so had to pay 20 euro each to go on pool opposite until Wednesday then went up to 35 euro each as summer started, not good to have to pay extra when advertised with pool and terrace
Donna, 7-night trip

2/10 Poor

Hôtel bruyant et lits grinçants

Nous avons réservé un lit double mais avons eu des lits jumeaux. Après négociation à l’accueil nous avons eu un lit double qui faisait du bruit ! Tous les bruits de la rues s’entendent. Ascenseur bruyant aussi. Il faisait trop chaud dans la chambre, obligé de mettre de la climatisation.
