Customer Service at it's finest!
From check-out to check-in, the professionalism of the staff was beyond amazing. Both in the restaurant, the housekeeping, the wellness and the front desk staff. I loved being greeted with a drink upon arrival. That was a bonus. Everyone is friendly and always greets you with a smile on their face. The rooftop view is amazing, too bad the 10live restaurant was closed when I went there. The gym could be bigger and have more equipment. I could not jump rope due to the low ceiling, but took advantage of the elliptical. The exercise machines were good. The bed in the room was very comfortable. I just wish there was soundproof doors because you can hear the live band from across the street playing, but at least they ended before 10:30pm, and the blackout curtains were NOT actually blackout curtains. The curtains did not hit the floor all the way. Other than that, great housekeeping. I love how eco-friendly the hotel is. They sometimes have a live band downstairs and I liked that guests from the hotel could go to the Aqualuna pool across the street for free. It is a must do on a nice sunny day. I was there end of November and there were really nice 73-75 degree Fahrenheit (22 -24 celcius) days. I like that you can walk down to the ferry and for less than 4 euros roundtrip, you can go to Valletta. There are busses to St. Julian and also Valletta up the street from the hotel. Restaurants within walking distance. I would come back to this hotel & recommend it! A solid 9/10

I’ve travelled to many different country’s and stayed in fab hotels but this has to be one of the best. The staff are so pleasant, helpful and happy to help. The hotel is in a fab location. Breakfast was really good. The chef often came out to chat to us and offer goodies he had made. Management also mingled in the breakfast and would ask how your stay was going. The room was large and had everything you needed. Honestly would highly recommend this hotel for anyone going to Sliema. It also has an amazing lido which is free to use. The pool is heated. Loved this hotel.

The property is in a good location on the waterfront, close to the local bus stops, ferry services and tourist buses. Can be noisy with the windows open but the air conditioning was good so not generally a problem. Good choice of restaurants within walking distance of the hotel We enjoyed a barbecue night at the rooftop restaurant and enjoyed drinks at the roof top bar a couple of nights. We enjoyed the use of the indoor swimming pool but it could get busy late in the afternoon.

Access to the outdoor pool opposite was excellent and a great facility. Also the indoor pool and hot tub great. Roof top bar is great for a drink but they could make more of the space to accommodate more guests. The hotel is on a busy road so traffic can be noisy. We had a harbour view room which was lovely but equally very noisy. We were put in a disabled room which was very spacious but had no drawer space in which to put clothes.

Beautiful property with a decent selection for breakfast buffet. Sliema area is vibrant with lots of dinning option and easy transportation. Hotel wasn’t able to let us stay in the same room after our tour ended despite us checking right when we arrived and twice after. The room we got switched to had a leaky shower that got the bathroom floor all wet.

Every thing was great EXCEPT the concierge. We booked hop on off @ 56 euros plus gave 5 euro tip. She pointed out the bus stop & told us to wait there. She did not tell us any thing about the buses. She did not say there would be buses to many areas. We booked the SOUTH & ended up on NORTH bus We missed all we wanted to see & ended getting off & ending wrong tour. Waste of 61 euros & time. SHE OFFERED NO REFUND AT ALL ALL. Poor info for travelers that know nothing about bus operations. This was only bad thing. All hotel was GREAT.
