This hotel really was grand. Its location was within walking distance to Valletta and public transport. Plenty of room to park your hire car if needed. The complex was massive with a beautiful pool and other amenities. The staff were so lovely and very approachable. I would recommend this gorgeous hotel to any one planning a stay in Malta.
Rita, 8-night trip

A wonderful hotel in walking distance of restaurants and shops in the beautiful Valetta - that's if you want to leave the hotel, with it's lovely outdoor pool, sweet little beach, choice of restaurants, gym and indoor pool and spa! Would thoroughly recommend.

Easy walk to Valletta, hotel transport and shuttle, personal taxi takes you on private tour of islands. Breakfast not included,at this price that's a little disappointing. No evening dining except in bars. And not much dining options in local area.
Phil, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Good location and nice staff.Good quality, choice breakfast, nice pool. Raj Kumar, concierge, was very helpful to book restaurants and arrange for a private boat ride Decor is grand and was probably very nice in its prime ,however for a 5* hotel , this hotel needs some TLC with furnitures and bathroom/ toilet, including the one near the breakfast area.

Anna, 4-night trip

Great location, food/dining options, pool area and harbour access. Welcome drink and front desk staff pleasant. Terrace bedrooms are spacious with great views. Decor is dated -old carpets, theme statues. Concierge staff not helpful, dismissive and unwilling to accommodate questions.

Michael, 7-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Stayed here for a week. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Great location and within walking distance of the centre of Valletta, the bus station and ferries. The hotel runs a courtesy car to the centre if you don’t fancy the walk. Would definitely book again.
Evelyn, 7-night trip

8/10 Good

This is a lovely hotel. and was meant to be the last stay of our trip. Unfortunately both of our kids got food poisoning after eating burgers ordered at the hotel pool and were extremely sick for about 12 hours each. We had to change our flights to a later date. The only options for staying at the hotel for longer was to move out of our room to two more expensive rooms so we opted to move to a AirBnB. Moving with sick kids is challenging. If you stay at this hotel, avoid eating at the pool!!
