All the service staff where excellent and very kind. I had my 60th birthday there and we were left a complimentary bottle of wine/2 glasses. Great free shuttle service up to the centre. The room was very big and very clean and tidy/comfortable/quiet. The spa and external pool/pool facilities were terrific and we had a small private beach allowing access to the sea. Great Hotel.

Lovely hotel and a very comfortable stay. Staff very friendly and obliging throughout. We were slightly apprehensive about the hotel having read some reviews before we arrived but we did not experience any problems during our 4 night stay. There are 80 plus steps from the lobby to the top of the road but each time we caught the hotel shuttle bus due to the heat so this was not an issue at all. We always walked back down though. If you face any mobility issues then you would need to factor this in. Piano bar and gentle music in the hotel lounge was great for us. Pool area was an added bonus and we used the indoor and outdoor pool during our break. Breakfast offered a very good selection of lots of fruit,yoghurt,pastries,juices, cooked to order eggs (various) and full English options. Coffee and tea brought to table by waitress/ waiters. Our room with small balcony on front of hotel was extremely spacious and comfortable with plenty of storage. Lots of hangers, safe, fridge,robes and slippers. Bathroom offered complimentary toiletries, shower over bath and free standing cubicle and large mirror and make up mirror. Free bottles of water and milk for tea/ coffee provided daily by housekeepers. A great stay and a central location for our sightseeing needs. Would recommend to others without hesitation.

Our stay was very relaxing and comfortable. The staff was very nice and helpful. We used the spa which was extraordinary. The pools are good too . Restaurant are amazing although the food was ordinary for the price we payed..

Ideal location, 10 minute walk to the centre of Valletta and bus terminus. Lovely hotel great for all ages quiet and relaxing. Hotel is spotlessly clean and welcoming. Pool is clean with plenty of sun lounges and the food at the pool was spot on. The staff are friendly, professional and helpful. They worked hard to make our holiday a great one. We used the courtesy shuttle to the centre when the weather was at its hottest which runs every 20 minutes. The breakfast was outstanding with lots of choice, service was quick and prompt. Hotel is closing for refurbishment in February for 2 years and I’ll certainly be back. One negative am still waiting for my money which is paid on arrival.
