Nice stay, breakfast was fantastic. Staff were excellent. Evening bar limited. Comfortable room and a nice bed... air conditioning worked and did drown out some of the 'night time street noise' !! Our bathroom needed a refit, peeling walls and towel rails hanging off. Very noisey due to all the building work in the immediate area, great view of the cranes working around the hotel while you were in the pool !!! Also while we were there the road outside the hotel was closed, which made it really difficult for the taxi's to get close.

The interior of the hotel is appealing and my room was large, well styled and comfortable. Refrigerator in my room did not work and was not fixed or replaced despite maintenance staff visiting my room to check it. One towel was frayed, a dirty spoon was in my room when I arrived and was still there when I checked out despite my room being cleaned. Used glasses also not removed. Breakfast was not available in the hotel, but instead served at another nearby due to ongoing refurbishment, this was not mentioned on hotel website or Expedia booking page. Immediate surrounding area is being redeveloped with building and roadwork. Hotel is well located for main bus routes, shopping and restaurants. Overall stay was fine but did not meet expectations.

My room was not cleaned properly, i had a kleenex sitting on the bottom shelf of the night stand and it was never tossed away. The cup in the room was not washed properly as there was still lipstick stain on side of cup, so it was obviously just rinsed very mildly. There is only one outlet source, making it difficult to charge multiple items, or to use hairstyling tools. I had to request for an extension cord, as the outlet was too far from a mirror for me to do my hair using hairstyling tools.

The hotel is conveniently located for visiting other parts of Malta and there are some good restaurants within walking distance. The rooms could be good but ours had a faulty TV, a socket not attached to the wall properly, the lamp above the bed was broken, one wardrobe door didn’t close properly and the lighting in the bathroom was insufficient. The pool is good but the music is too loud for relaxation and the staff surly when asked to turn it down. There was also an afternoon where two older men were very obviously ‘entertaining’ two younger women … not really appropriate? The whole hotel needs more TLC and a stricter guest policy!
