The hotel in general is extremely dated in its decor and my room was very dark, dated, had little flies in the bathroom upon arrival and a discoloured shower curtain. It doesn’t look like the hotel has had any modernisation in many years. The buffet at breakfast and dinner does not list allergens on the food cards and there was no vegan option for dessert except for fruit. The positive is that it is in a fabulous location for Valletta as only takes 5 minutes to walk in.

Overall good experience, great location, rooms good and beds comfortable. Decor is a bit 1980s and dated and breakfast average with really poor coffee. Dont expect a 5 star hotel it needs a serious overhaul to get it there.

Great location for Valetta . Impressive property on arrival but the room decor extremely tired and in need of a refurb . No barrier between neighbouring balconies which would have been preferred . We visited end of October and although weather was good and we enjoyed the pool , it was not possible to get any snacks or refreshments at pool area . No coffee or drinks available at all outside as everything closed . Overall this hotel was nice , decor very dated and bathrooms needed refurb ( rubber mats etc were not very appealing ) good shower . Staff all very pleasant . Breakfast average and we were charged extra for cappuccino coffee . Wonderful views from the dining area . Would consider returning due to location but not if all facilities outside are unavailable .

Fantastic hotel, and wonderful staff. Besides the confusion around which floor to exit from (the Reception is on the 6th Floor), it was pretty easy to navigate our way around the hotel! We were kindly invited to a pre-dinner drinks at an area behind the hotel bar, speaking to senior staff and the owners as well. We loved it so much, and can't wait to go back!
