The Vincent is a hotel with a great potential but that’s not used.
The staff is incredibly kind and available, even though it’s available only from about 8am to 4pm. For this reason, I feel the “human component” of warmth and coziness was a bit missing compared to other hotels that offer full time reception/on site presence.
Regarding the palace itself, it’s incredibly aesthetically pleasing and a typical maltese building, which apart from being charming, is also extremely humid.
In particular, you can feel it right when you enter the hotel and, my room, Mediterranea, was very humid, especially the bathroom, which smelled so badly from humidity. The fact that it had no windows and the water from shower was going on the floor (no shower doors) didn’t help.
Plus, the walls and ceiling are very thin, meaning you can hear everything from upstairs and laterally, from the wc water flush to ringtone, talking, and also when people were walking in the above room, the ceiling was vibrating, it was loud and felt as if elephants were walking… not great if you want to sleep…
The air conditioning was working well and the bed was very comfortable.
The breakfast is abundant, fresh, varied and good, it’s served at -1 floor but you can choose to have it in the magical courtyard.
The conditions of the structure need to be reviewed and renovated, the potential is very high but not exploited.
