The classic family room was brand-new. Extensive and varied breakfast with a fabulous view of the harbour. - the staff was very helpful. - Great central location, close to the center of Valletta.

Breakfast was very good. The room is getting a little old, but still comfortable. Staff is very nice, pool area with small sandy beach and beautiful sea access.
Few sunbeds by the pool. If you want to get one, you have to be down by 8:00 at the latest. Drinks in the hotel are overpriced. Only 2 elevators for a 10 floor building, long waiting time.

The standards were met, and I plan to return; it was the best trip I've ever had with everything being really good, especially the perfect location and the warm, included breakfast.

Magnificent hotel, it has lovely views and stunning location by sea. The great thing is location in the middle of the city. The beds are large to sleep on. The property provides a good service. Happy to have a bar in the reception.

The room I had was spacious with a cozy bed, and the location was excellent, right next to buses going all over the island, as well as restaurants, bars.

Both breakfast and lunch were below average. I would have expected more from the ambience here. The staff seemed rather overtaxed. There must be no canister scrambled eggs in such a hotel. But there was only one "cook" who could make fresh omlettes and pancakes - in a room for about 200 people - no comment. What a pity, otherwise the hotel, which has gotten old but still has charm, would actually be very good.

This hotel is centrally located, within easy walking distance of the centre of Valletta. Its location directly on the harbour is stunning, making a swim in its pool a memorable experience. Our room was very comfortable, well insulated from sound outside the room and beautifully appointed. It was great to have a reasonably sized, efficient fridge in the room, which we could fill with what we liked including drinks bought outside the hotel, rather than a traditional minibar. The convenient parking free of charge was very welcome in a city where it's difficult to find a parking space.
Food was very variable in quality. Dinner was overpriced for what it was. The buffet arrangements for breakfast and dinner were good in that they meant one could ensure a choice of the best available option, but they became wearing after a few days . We did long for one exquisitely crafted meal, rather than trying to choose the best of a pretty mixed lot. Service was similarly variable, some of the staff providing faultless service whereas others were either slapdash or officious to the point of interfering. Having said all that, this was essentially a pleasant, comfortable hotel that we would stay in again and recommend to others because of the comfort of the rooms and the stunning location.

The location of the hotel was wonderful, near the city center. There was a dressing room, luggage storage, and coffee in the room, really enjoyed that.- The staff were outstandingly accommodating and helpful at all times.

Friendly staff. Quite good breakfast buffet.
Few sunbeds with shade at the pool. Although separate beds were marked, this was not implemented by the hotel, so that we had to make use of a chargeable upgrade.

The location is great. The staff is nice. You can get to the old town quickly.
The equipment is a little "outdated".

Comfortable room, great bed (2*120cm), good room service. Great access to the private beach, great pool. Great location, short distances to Valetta
Furniture has become a little old. Breakfast could be richer, with a greater variety. Beach sunbeds were somewhat worn out and should be renewed
