The room included a steam iron and a beautiful balcony. The breakfast buffet provided plentiful options. The staff looked very accommodating to all my needs.
The hotel is located near a busy road therefore some noise was audible.

The breakfast had many options. I could even order an omelette for free. The location was conveniently close to public bus stops. It was also about a 10 minute walk to the ferry TO valetta. The room was nice and neat
I requested a wake-up call twice at the front desk. It was for 2:45am for my 6am flight but no one called. Luckily, my wife set the alarm on her phone. It is the little things that matter and that ball was definitely DROPPED.

decent stay but some issues noted

breakfast relocationhigh room temperature
The breakfast setup changed midway through my stay. The dining room closed, and a smaller area in the foyer became the temporary spot. also, the room temperature was too high! the air conditioning system was off for the winter, and sleeping was uncomfortable because of this.

the breakfast selection offered plenty of choices. the room service menu was extensive. the hotel's proximity to transportation made getting around easy. i also liked that the room had a kettle.
i found the reception staff to be somewhat offhand. they did not ask if i liked the stay at checkout. the outdoor pool description was misleading, i had to cross a busy road to access it. the location on a busy road meant there was a lot of traffic noise, particularly early in the morning

adequate but not really good

acceptable locationpoor outlookmediocre breakfast
the location was acceptable since it was close to the ferry.
The room i booked did not match the description. the 'superior double or twin room lateral sea view' i received faced a building. It offered a poor outlook, and i question the value for money. the breakfast was mediocre. fewer items of higher quality would improve it.
