Thank you for making us feel so special during our time here. All the staff are so friendly and helpful especially the concierge desk, which is a fountain of information and helpfulness. We will return once the refurbishment has been completed.

I love this hotel, the view across to Sliema is breathtaking and interesting. The hotel has a comfortable atmosphere, whilst having many facilities. The outside pool area is wonderful and sunbeds are plentiful, in shade or sun. The staff are attentive and the buffet breakfast is really good and has a vast choice. Its location is amazing, only a 5 minute walk into Valletta, (a shuttle bus runs every 20 minutes, as the walk is on an incline and Malta gets very hot.) The Malta Transport system is by bus and all main routes start at Valletta and go to every town or place of interest on the Island. So transport is easy and carefree.

From the time we arrived until 3 nights later when we left, we found all staff to be very helpful, friendly and kind. We enjoyed service from the pool, the breakfast, the bars and everyone was super polite and efficient. I must give special compliments to the reception staff and the concierge for their care and kindness that they welcomed us with and showed us while we were there. The rooms and facilities (including the extra large pool) were terrific, the location was wonderful and we would certainly stay there again.

Ideally situated with a great pool and facilities. No crowding or queues with all the staff attentive and efficient. Just a few minutes walk into Valletta with fantastic bars and restaurants. All very reasonably priced, roughly half of London prices and cheaper than most British towns. Coupled with a safe polite atmosphere makes it fantastic. The hotel breakfast offered a selection of every food possible!! The room was a good size and cleaned twice daily, A/C was brilliant. Courtesy bus from the hotel to town even though it was only 10 mins walk, this ran all day. Can’t fault anything, a proper 5star hotel
