would definitely visit it again
The room was a Deluxe Double Room Full Sea View Terrace, spacious with a nice seating area, flat-screen TV, and minibar. The hotel had a large outdoor pool open till late October and a great spa that provided excellent relaxation options. Breakfast had various fresh options including baked goods and an omelet station with views of the harbor.

Private marina for waterfront excursions, stunning views of the Grand Harbour, unique themed dinners with cultural cuisine
The hotel badly needs an upgrade!!! It suffers from inconsistent elevator service, and the layout is confusing with inadequate signage!!! Multiple guests reported issues with room maintenance, leaving a less-than-stellar impression!!!

Totally recommend for a two-day stay
Spacious room, excellent breakfast, with a variety of fresh food items to choose from, and friendly staff, especially at the front desk, who were very accommodating during our early arrival.
Absolutely nothing to criticize.

Plus, I scored a room upgrade to a spacious partial sea view, which was a cherry on top. The cheerful and attentive staff made every moment delightful.
While the hotel has charm, it’s just yearning for a bit of sprucing up, and the frequently reconnecting Wi-Fi had me on edge. Oh, and that hairdryer? A total relic – you'd get more airflow blowing on it with a straw!

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel, especially the spa experience featuring a variety of recreational activities. The views of the Maltese Archipelago were breathtaking, and our family room provided ample space for our large family, including two babies.
In my wife’s opinion, a kids' play area would have been a great addition.

The pools were inviting, making our stay relaxing and enjoyable. The breakfast offered a delightful variety of fresh options, which was a fantastic way to start the day. However, the hotel could certainly benefit from some updates, as the decor felt outdated and the plumbing made odd noises at times.

A Luxurious Retreat with Stunning Views
During my family’s four-night stay, I fell in love with the spacious room offering breathtaking harbor views. Breakfast was a delight with a variety of options, including gluten-free selections for my friend. The spa and pool areas provided great relaxation after our city explorations. Highly recommend scheduling a massage!

Nice place with beautiful views
We just came back from 6 nights at this place and wow, the views were incredible! Our room had an amazing panorama of the water, and the pool area was nice for relaxing. The breakfast was solid, great choices. Though, the service by the pool was a bit slow, like it took forever to get a drink. Still, we loved the vibe!
