Hotel staff are all very helpful. The room was very clean and spacious. We stayed in the seaview room and had a lovely view. The room top bar is nice to go for a cocktail. The hotel is conveniently located to the sliema ferries and lots of places to eat.

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.

Excellent location for boat trips and beautiful views across the harbour. Service was a little slow in the Ceilo lounge but otherwise service excellent. Particular highlight was the bbq evening at 1Olive, supervised by the head chef who made everyone feel welcome and took time to speak to guests. He was happy to cook an extra steak exactly as requested, nothing was too much trouble. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Very well-appointed hotel in convenient location for visiting Valletta and sightseeing in broader Malta. Hotel dining (including breakfast) options were great and many other restaurants nearby. View from rooftop bar was sensational. Room was spacious and nicely furnished and decorated. Frustrating that Hotel did not have a usable map of Valletta and Malta.
