A very pleasant stay.. Very basic but you get what you pay for.. Nice location, and would stay there again
Every member of staff was smiley and helpful. The hotel met our needs of being close to th waterfront and transport links. It was clean and organised. Having a sea view room was wonderful but take ear plugs if you go to bed before the nightlife nearby has finished. Breakfast had hot and cold options. If you want something specific, I'd suggest not having breakfast included as there are so mamy eateries nearby.
Clean everywhere, spotless .Staff at reception helpful, nice
,kind .Kitchen staff very nice. Location very convenient,/bus stop ,ferry, shops ,bars, restaurants./,just on the doorsteps .Amazing, friendly, helpful all of you .

I dont know how this hotel got a 4 star rating , we stayed in a superior room , was basic , only had a window and the view was other windows covered in bird 💩 , had to pay 5 euros for a kettle, breakfast was basic and cold , and you couldn't take it your self , pool was small , no entertainment .
The room was clean, however, not the best place to stay. Could use some huge upgrades. The shower had very low pressure and was not great for me height even though I am 6’1”. Location was a key factor. It is within walking distance for the Valletta Ferry and easy location to grab a Bolt. I wouldn’t stay here again however unless they did some upgrades to the rooms. It was overpriced for what the rooms were.
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.
Hotel staff polite, supportive and courteous.
I arrived at the hotel a day late due to unforeseen difficulties, the arrival was at 1am.
I had previously sent a email relating to the delay.
The staff reception officer was very helpful and when l explained the delayed arrival he was extremely professional ensuring a room was available with suitable amenities.
The air conditioning was effective, particularly during the hot nights.
Would definitely return and spend few days break at the accommodation and recommend to family and friends.

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
