Old hotel - renovation needed
This is NOT a 5-star hotel, would give it 3 1/2 stars. The hotel is old a serious renovation would be desired. The front desk is not familiar with VIP benefits despite this hotel claims to be VIP property- I had to ask multiple times reception to get my welcome bottle of wine & room upgrade since I am VIP gold member. Hotel llocation is great to explore old Valeta and free hotel shuttle is very convenient. The most value of this hotel is private beach with sea access, because most properties in the area have NO sea access

I liked this hotel a lot. Its a bit old, I had single beds which I didn't order but the hotel is lovely and in a great location. I did not tell them it was my birthday and yet a cake & bottle of wine turned up which I was not expecting. They must have triggered that from my passport I guess? I will stay here again for sure

Room, pool areas, and food all outstanding. Friendly and efficient check in. Only lost one point because check out was a little clunky and we didn’t appreciate being woken one night at 1045 (after we’d gone to bed) because staff had forgotten to ask us to sign for two beers! This episode aside, we had am amazing holiday and plan to go back.

Mixed experience. Good- pool facilities and location by harbour, and staff service. Food and room both good. Bad- on arrival, told we would be told when room ready but no call. Had to change for pool in toilet because not allowed to use spa changing room. TV not working, had to ask twice. Breakfast coffee stewed and undrinkable.Kettle broke twice, had to ask 3 times. Charged 5 euros for losing one plastic room card. Steep 5 minutes walk up stairs and hill to town- was hard and I am quite fit!

Beautiful side view of the marina from our balcony making a magnificent backdrop as the sun sets. All the staff are courteous, friendly and extremely helpful. The breakfast buffet was generous and had a great selection of foodstuffs. The lunchtime salads and coffee served in the bar were delicious. Great indoor and outdoor pools and a decent gym facility for a hotel. The bathrooms and some decor could do with updating but they were clean and comfortable.
