8/10 Very good

Every member of staff was smiley and helpful. The hotel met our needs of being close to th waterfront and transport links. It was clean and organised. Having a sea view room was wonderful but take ear plugs if you go to bed before the nightlife nearby has finished. Breakfast had hot and cold options. If you want something specific, I'd suggest not having breakfast included as there are so mamy eateries nearby.

The room was clean, however, not the best place to stay. Could use some huge upgrades. The shower had very low pressure and was not great for me height even though I am 6’1”. Location was a key factor. It is within walking distance for the Valletta Ferry and easy location to grab a Bolt. I wouldn’t stay here again however unless they did some upgrades to the rooms. It was overpriced for what the rooms were.

Great view if you get seafront room. Pool and rooftop area was out of action , not stated when I made the booking so disappointed on that. Cooked breakfasts good. Rooms tired decor, damaged floor and wall tiles, sink. Fire alarm went off two nights in row around 2am, earlier alarm call than I’m used to.

Would not recommend. Good location on water front. Hotel is tired, poorly equipped and shoddy. Bed was hard and covered with thin single sheet. AC not cooling room, just blowing warm air. Asked for service for AC - no improvement. It was cooler in the corridor. Breakfast felt like school lunch served behind Perspex wall and passed around. Juices could not be watered down any more. Furniture in room was old. Bathroom felt dirty and drains smelled when first used. Better options, and lower prices available off the Strand.

Staff were great. Bed was not changed once in whole stay. Advertised with pool but pool and terrace was closed whole stay so had to pay 20 euro each to go on pool opposite until Wednesday then went up to 35 euro each as summer started, not good to have to pay extra when advertised with pool and terrace

Disappointed

The room was dated, however clean...nice view overlooking the sea...nosey at night. Breakfast was dreadful...no choice and had to wait to be served...cold!! This is the 16th time we have been to Malta..last minute booking so our normal hotel was booked up...will not stay here again, not the 4 star quality we are used to 😏

Location good. Breakfast good, you could take anything you want but it was behind the staff. Room was old but clean. Window was giving inside the building, to the corridor, so you had to keep curtains closed all the time. Air conditioning didn’t work at all and because of the direction of the window, you couldn’t have fresh air. It was HOT and stuffy. Otherwise, we could go again.

8/10 Very good

Decent - serviceable.

Incredible location. So many bars, cafes, shops and restaurants around. Very close to all public transportation (to and from airport, as well as all over the island.) The lobby/breakfast area and bar are all gorgeous. The gentleman working at the front desk when I checked in was so friendly and helpful. The only thing I will say is the property (well, at least my room) is slightly worn down. The air conditioning didn't really work in my room and it was very warm. The toilet didn't flush properly and the water ran. The wifi in my room was very weak and barely worked. However - the place is still VERY serviceable for a quick stay. Price is right, and had way more positives than negatives. Those were more just minor inconveniences. Oh, if you get the "sea view", it's fascinating. The balcony in my room was divine. Highly recommend that.
