We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff were friendly, professional and always eager to help. The room was spotlessly clean and the view of the harbour from our balcony was absolutely stunning. A big plus was the complimentary access to the pool area and sun loungers just across the street, which made our stay even more relaxing. The rooftop bar offers breathtaking views and is the perfect place to enjoy a drink while the sun goes down. We highly recommend both this hotel and Malta as a travel destination. We would happily stay here again!
