Plenty of choice for the breakfast. Comfortable room with nice view. Quiet location of the hotel, a bit of a steep walk to the center of Valetta. Nice and warm indoor pool.Good Spa facility.
BelgiumIn general everything was very good. The room was quite large, the breakfast had tons of options, the staff was very helpful, and the free parking garage onsite was convenient. The location was also good because it was right next to Valletta without being directly in the hullabaloo of Valletta and its narrow streets with car restrictions. We were also particularly appreciative that the hotel was able to lend us electrical outlet adaptors as we were naive and didn't realize that they use the same plug type as the UK and not the rest of Europe.
Spaini like the presentation and the food that was serve. Staff are courteous and helpful. This front desk personnel help me with all my quastions. I think the name is certain Miko or Milo.
United States of AmericaStaff friendly and helpful at reception desk, poolside and bars. Pool and seaside facilities were great. Very glad we were able to store our luggage after we checked out. Breakfast buffet was excellent at a lot of choices.

United States of AmericaThe location is great! Within 10min walk of Valletta city center. Staff is very helpful and friendly :) Awesome buffet breakfast. Our room was amazing! Very spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed the panoramic views from our terrace, especially during sunset.
United States of AmericaHelpful, friendly staff, breakfast with almost any food you can imagine, and a nice spa, outdoor pool and private beach area. We had nothing really to complain about, even when our door and A/C broke. The hotel sent someone right away to fix everything. We also used the spa and can recommend the massage - great value! The hotel is located perfectly right outside of Valletta within walking distance.
GermanyStaff and services were impeccable. We were there to celebrate our anniversary, and the hotel made sure that this was a memorable one. We will surely be back.
MaltaEverything, staff were exceptionally friendly and it always seemed genuine. There were lots of staff and service was always very quick. The breakfast was brilliant. The pool was nice and the little man made beach and swimming area. It's also a great location. Our second time to stay there and another short stay booked before leaving Malta.
