We loved this hotel: staff were helpful and friendly, breakfast was great, and we loved the outdoor pool. We ate across the hotel at Punto restaurant where we could sit outside with blankets next to the water, and another night did a short walk over the hill behind the hotel to Balluta Bay. For me, the best thing about this hotel was the view: sitting outside on the balcony looking over the water to Valletta. Highly recommended.

This hotel is very well located for a visit to Valletta without being set in the middle of throngs of tourists. The ferry to Valletta is an easy walk from the building and the big advantage is, of course, the proximity to the waterfront. The hotel itself is very serviceable and completely acceptable except that it lacks character. It has a cool, corporate feel. Those who desire more traditional surroundings should go elsewhere. The waterfront restaurants are convenient and the pool is another waterside benefit. All in all, a pretty strong choice.
