This hotel was very comfortable - it had strong wifi and was good value for the money (it even has a rooftop pool and GOOD AC). In general, i didnt like the area though - overcrowded with tiny streets, it was stressful to walk around

Bon séjour dans un hôtel plutôt neuf. Dommage de ne pas avoir de fenêtre dans notre chambre. Petit déjeuner correct. Situé dans une zone très festive de Malte. Le quartier vit la nuit. Les plages à proximité ne sont pas du tout intéressante. Il vaut mieux prendre le bus pour changer de zone. Très bien desservi en bus.

Nice hotel close to centre of st Julian's

The hotel was clean modern and nice with friendly helpful staff. My only criticism is there are building works going on opposite the hotel which makes for a difficult nights sleep. However it is not something the hotel has control over so I can't justifiably mark them down over this. I would recommend this hotel, the dinner suggestions the gentlemen at the front desk organised for us were fantastic.

Good hotel, close to bay

It was an interesting experience finding the hotel at first, our cab driver dropped off us at the wrong hotel. Besides that it was comfortable, just be prepared if you're traveling with a friend to have your beds very close together haha.

Parking

Lovely clean hotel. Friendly staff. Good location if you are a tourist and want a central location. Building work opposite but not a problem just not the view we expected. Must admit it was very interesting watching work in progress and everyone trying to find a place to park. Parking is terrible. After we got back to the hotel late afternoon and eventually found a parking space we never moved the car again until after breakfast the next day. We just hope that no parking fines arrive in the post. The rooms vary in size, ours was large enough with a balcony but the shower room was really small.

Comfortable and quiet

Friendly modern clean hotel near the bay and myriad bars and restaurants. Room was quite large with a safe, fridge and kettle and very good air conditioning. Shower was also good. Staff very helpful. Breakfast was ok. Quite a range of food but mediocre quality. Our room was at the back, no view but nice and quiet. Bed was comfy enough. Only complaint was we asked for a double and got a twin but there were no guarantees on that anyway.
