Excellent hotel with amazing staff. The breakfast is plentiful with great variety. It would be nice to have hard boiled eggs instead of the scrambled eggs which are cooked to order. This is only a small complaint and I would definitely try to stay at this hotel again.

The room was a good size and very clean. Great shower and great breakfast. Restaurant and reception staff were very pleasant and helpful. 10 mins walk from where the TD3 bus from the airport stops off. Buses to Valletta from outside the hotel. Code for hotel and room entrance sent the day before arrival, which worked well. The only issue was the aircon, which was very noisy, even when switched off.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Overall the room was clean, tidy and good value for money. The only downsides were the air conditioning was set for heat and not cooling. Even though I appreciate it's winter for the locals, 16° was still very warm for me and dropping the temperature would have been more comfortable for me. The second niggle was probably just me, but I couldn't operate the TV properly to sign into Netflix. Apart from that all was satisfactory. I'd definitely stay again.
