Very modern hotel with great amenities. The sea view room was amazing, had a huge terrace. Great bed. The pool is beautiful, and we had dinner at one of the restaurants on premises, also breakfast was great, tons of options for 30 EUR. One small detail - the light switches are a bit confusing, some are on a timer and turned off a few times while i was in the bathroom. There probably is a system to it but we only stayed for 2 nights and didn’t have time to look deep into it. Location of the hotel is great - 5 minutes to the Sliema ferry, and incredible views of the harbor and Valletta. Highly recommend this hotel.

The hotel itself and staff were faultless, it really is an excellent hotel to stay in when visiting Sliema. My only reason for not giving 5 star across the board is the use of the pool, it wasn’t made clear that it was not for sole use of hotel guests and is actually part of a beach club called Manta. Being restricted to how long we could have a sun lounger for was a bit disappointing and once allocated a sun lounger all hotel guests were placed in a far corner away from the pool and in my opinion not treated the same as those who had paid to use the club.

Great hotel, definitely 5 stars. The view to Valletta from the ocean view room is amazing, makes a big difference. Clean, spacious bathroom, great selection at the buffet breakfast. Very friendly staff at the front desk. Pool a bit small, but if you booking morning hours, you will be able to find great sunbeds. Too busy in the afternoon. Great location. You can easily get to Valletta by ferry or local boatmen. Definitely will recommend this place.

You have to book the pool 24 hours in advance. It's a busy pool, and you have to go via a tunnel or cross the road, you can't "swim" at all as it's so busy, due to it not being owned by the hotel, it's a rental and anyone can do a day hire. You book either morning or afternoon slot, but hotel tell you to get to the pool for 9am for a good spot. I tried to book on Sunday evening for Monday morning and was told no, it's full. Strictly no food or drink allowed in, not even water. You have to buy from them. AC is awkward, you can't lower below 19c/66f, the max speed is very low, you can barely feel it in the room, and it turns off when you leave the room, so you can't "chill" the room for later. These are all "Green" measures, great for the environment but unpleasant to get ready in or sleep in. The hotel control the dials, as I had the engineer up thinking it was faulty, he confirmed it's correct. Bathroom has a horrible smell in the evenings. Shower head not central so causes a leak at the door seal on the tiled floor. If you ask the hotel for a bucket of ice, because you want to cool some water, they try you charge you €3 for the use of bucket!!! Luckily I was let off, but I've never experienced a charge anywhere in the world for a bucket, apparently a glass of ice is free. Location is good, shopping centre is 5 minutes walk away, Ferry to Valletta is a 7 minute walk away, costs €4 return, and takes 10 minutes, last ferry at midnight.  Several restaurants, bar

Overall very good, few things worth noting.
Overall our stay at the hotel was very good. Room was very spacious and staff were very attentative. Few things worth noting: - [ ] we were given a Disabled room , there wasn’t much space for our toiletries - [ ] Shower overflowed , the drainage system was noticeable poor, and we had to be careful how much water we used. Wasn’t a massive deal because there was only 2 of us - [ ] Beach club , not very relaxing - [ ] at the beach club, there were lots of locals who use the venue for day time drinking. Lively , and we didn’t mind , just bare in mind before booking. - [ ] we needed to secure our sun lounges early to get a good spot - [ ] there was 1 Power cut during our 7 days . water stopped working - but was fixed immediately - [ ] Werent able to book sun beds on 1 day as it was too busy - [ ] Weekends really busy - [ ] No water fountain in the gym - [ ] Guests are given less favourable loungers
