Acceptable but not really good

wide breakfast buffetloud pool musicdifficult pool access
The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of options.
The pool situation was disappointing. The music was loud and it felt more like a disco than a relaxing space (i prefer quiet). Securing a decent spot required advance reservations and sometimes arguing with staff.

okay experience

great locationfriendly staffloud music
i loved the location it is amazing and the staff are generally very friendly. the hotel is very clean also it makes it a great choice for a short city break. the ferry to valletta is only a couple of minutes walk away plus there is a shopping centre right behind the hotel
the pool experience is awful the same goes for the gym. the pool is across a busy road and it is very misleading. music is ridiculously loud at the pool

Very nice stay with fine views

spacious roomfriendly staffparty atmosphere
i enjoyed an very nice stay. The rooms were spacious and lovely. The staff was friendly, something i value (i always try to be friendly too!). The location was great too.
i was a little disappointed that the outdoor pool attracts younger groups, resulting in more of a party atmosphere. This may not suit older guests looking for a peaceful retreat.
