Quiet location in Sliema. Modern Hotel with fantastic amenities. The Pool was one of the best i have ever visited on vacations, with views over the city. The room was spacious, modern, with a nice view. Staff was fantastic and helped with any request we had. Our flight left before the breakfast buffet opened so they even provided us with freshly made sandwiches and fruit, that we can take with us and eat on the road.

The room was great, the indoor pool was good. The outdoor pool was horrible. As a solo traveller it's near impossible to get a sun bed and you have no control of the umbrella if you do get a bed, so if you want to work on your tan, go somewhere else. The customer service was awful. Extremely difficult to put any food/drink on your room (maybe it's easier if you book direct with the hotel rather than via an operator?) The evening restaurant dinner was disappointing and not worth the price.
