What people say

A true 5 star hotel! Staff were extremely nice and helpful, room (sea view) and facilities were great, and the breakfast qualified directly for my top 3 ever (and I have seen a few...). Never tried the restaurant, but expect it was good as well. Location was central and close to Valetta bus hub for traveling anywhere on Malta.The comfortable and spacious room with brilliant harbour view. Modern tv with english channels. Polite, friendly and helpful staff.

all reviews

Perfect start to our honeymoon and room and view were beautiful. Nice and central. All that I had hoped it would be. . It was very relaxing, the staff were very friendly. All in all, a very good experience.overall ambience,helpfulness of staff,and proximity to the centre of Valetta. liked the room, the position of the hotel, the spa, liked everything.Excellent overall. Staff very helpful. Good location for Valletta. size and furnishings of the room, free internet, breakfast. Definitely excellent hotel. I recommend this hotel.How friendly and attentive the hotel staff were.Transport to/from the airport would have been nice, and it felt a little strange to find a complete pricelist of all the room interiors (although we chose to consider it as funny rather than offensive). Besides that, this hotel was really excellent and it would be a pleasure to return at a later point!. Only the uphill climb via many steps to reach the exit and then more of an uphill climb and many steps to reach the bus station. I suffer with arthritis of the hips so I struggled.Being put on 2nd floor. Very noisy with bar and restaurant directly opposite. Cleaning of patio area very noisy. Would stay again but only on different floor.
