"Beautiful property quite close to everything. Ferry to Gozo was just a short walk away.
AC is in each beautiful room. Ours was with king size bed and pretty spacious. Bathroom was huge. Rain shower was a great touch.
We used a swimming pool on the roof of the building. Small, but ok to chill before dinner.
Omelets were done quickly. Yogurts were tasty."
"The hotel itself was very clean and the room was spacious and lovely balcony , however breakfast which although included was very basic and you had to pay extra for things that were not in the basic à la carte selection and with a very limited buffet.. Their morning on the house coffee was terrible and so you had to pay for a better cappuccino or espresso. There was not even a welcome bottle of cold water in the fridge upon arrival. Only a jug of tepid water on a 35 degree day."
"Wonderful hotel with an exceptional staff. Michael at the front desk went above and beyond to make my stay memorable. He had great suggestions for sights to see and places to dine. Everyone was so friendly. Good breakfast and my room was clean and had plenty of space. Highly recommend!"
"The room was clean and tidy however the furniture used in our room was oversized
By the time we add d our luggage the room felt small and a little uncomfortable"
"From the time we arrived our experience was perfect! The gentleman at the front desk (unfortunately forgot his name) was so welcoming and respectful! The lower level spa pool was such a special experience and the rooftop & pool was perfect as well. Located on a very quiet street in Valetta it was close to the main gate of Valetta, the Co-Cathedral and so many special places in Valetta. Although we stayed here for only one night (our first night in Malta it was special and unforgettable!"
