10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful! The staff is very kind and helpful. The hotel is very comfy. We liked our stay. I am travelling a lot for business purpose and I am seeing a lot a bad hotel. I have almost nothing to say about this one. The AC is noisy. That's it. The only "negative" point. Very well located Close to a lot. Not so noisy (the town) The pool is... AWESOME ! Very chic. We also went to eat on the evening.it was very classy and delicious. The rooftop bar is awesome. The view is breathtaking ! A must Not to mention the breakfast with a real baristo making delicious coffee. Thank you !! We will definitely recommend this hotel to our friends and family !

owolabi, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We loved this hotel: staff were helpful and friendly, breakfast was great, and we loved the outdoor pool. We ate across the hotel at Punto restaurant where we could sit outside with blankets next to the water, and another night did a short walk over the hill behind the hotel to Balluta Bay. For me, the best thing about this hotel was the view: sitting outside on the balcony looking over the water to Valletta. Highly recommended.

The breakfast buffet eggs were cold, the bacon was over cooked, some of the pastries were tough. We left the hotel for most meals including breakfast.
Jane, 14-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

My son and I stayed here for a week and I have to say- the staff are so friendly and were so accommodating. The manager of the restaurant was so kind and helpful as well. I would recommend staying here for sure.
Jennifer, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

This hotel is very well located for a visit to Valletta without being set in the middle of throngs of tourists. The ferry to Valletta is an easy walk from the building and the big advantage is, of course, the proximity to the waterfront. The hotel itself is very serviceable and completely acceptable except that it lacks character. It has a cool, corporate feel. Those who desire more traditional surroundings should go elsewhere. The waterfront restaurants are convenient and the pool is another waterside benefit. All in all, a pretty strong choice.
Richard, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is amazing, starting from the staff which is so friendly and professional, all the facilities within the hotel, indoor pool, gym and 3 restaurants, we loved that place so much.

10/10 Exceptional

Fabulous hotel, great pool area, breakfast exceptional and staff wonderful. Area around hotel is a little grubby, lots of building work happening although not directly next to hotel. We could see 8 cranes from our balcony! Nevertheless we loved the hotel and would come back Easy walk to everywhere and great transport options. It’s in a really good position to get you everywhere you want to go. The whole is Sliema is under lots of new construction, it will be great when it’s finished !

Very Nice accomodation with super service. Highly recommendable. 2 suggestions : put dispensers in thé batchroom instead of thé small shampoo and conditioner items. Body lotion would be appreciated. I would not put thé Paper on thé tables at breakfast this would be nicer for thé environment .
