It was more than we expected! The room was huge, it had everything you needed and it was cleaned daily. It is close to the promenade, bars and restaurants but it is quiet and you can sleep like a baby. Bonus: they have a swimming pool on the roof. Everything was perfect! I highly recommend this place!

Bed was really comfy and curtains were blackout so got a chance to sleep in. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was big and had kitchenette stocked with necessary pans etc. It was good to have use of a pool which was not busy as well as the pool at the Bayview which was more beach club type vibe.

we have been staying with s t hotels for many years now when visiting malta. we book a seaview apartment which is lovely, great view and well equipped. views of the harbour and manoel island. staff are great , always sort any problems out for us and very helpful. There are lots of pubs and restaurants on the front which are reasonably priced. Valletta is well worth a visit, only 5 minutes away on the local bus

No tea towels, washing up liquid or cleaning cloths, which would have been useful. Although the apartment was cleaned daily. Unfortunately the telephone didn't work, so didn't receive our early morning (4am) call. But no serious complaints.
Good sized 1 bedroom apartment, comfy bed, clean sheets. Large shower cubicle with glass doors, shower room good size & modern. Clean towels. Large fridge/freezer adequate kitchen equipment. Lift to apartment.

The shower was in horrible shape what they could fix in a couple of minutes for no money basically. It was leaking everywhere and the shower head was in poor condition. Make sure if you only book one room that room has no doors to the next room. We had to change it in the first day because of the noise. But it's really handy if you book two rooms and can go to each others room.
The staff was amazing. Location is brilliant. Our room were huge and comfy. Hotel is clean and accessible.

“Great 2 bed apartment with wonderful views of Valletta”
- • Leisure trip
- • Travelers with friends
- • Stayed 5 nights

TV channels were very limited for English channels although not the worst I've ever experienced. The iron in the room had a severely frayed cord which I reported but was not resolved while we were there. We also had a problem with the bathroom lock which required maintenance to resolve which they did in a timely manner. The stairs which were also the fire escape often had bags of linen on them and the cleaning trolley on the small landing between the apartments which would have been a major issue if there was a fire. Whilst reporting the bathroom and iron I also highlighted the issue with the stairs which improved slightly. We tried the breakfast in the Blubay Hotel which was ok but did not blow us away for the money. The biggest disappointment for me was going to the massage centre in the hotel for a Shellac nail varnish. I already had shellac on which needed to be taken off first. The shellac was €9 but I was advised to take the shellac off and then do the Shellac would be €20. I thought it was a bit expensive but decided to go ahead. The lady proceeded to take off my nail varnish by lifting it off and scraping it with a tool. My nails on one hand were completely ruined as this is not how you remove shellac nail varnish. I tried to talk to her to ask why she wasn't using a special shellac nail varnish remover buy her English was not very good and she struggled to understand my concerns. The stool I was sat on was not very safe as it had wheels and when I went to sit down it slid out from underneath me and I landed on the floor. Fortunately I am quite fit and whilst it hurt it was not a major problem but could have been for someone else with mobility issues. I did not finish getting my nails done but said I did not wish to continue as I was concerned about her doing the other hand too. It was a shame as I had looked forward to treating myself.
The apartment was in a great location with a number of buses running from directly outside going to Valletta making getting around the island easy. The apartment was a good size with a double bed in one room and twin beds in the other. There was a full oven with electric hob and a large fridge freezer. The kitchen had plenty of pans and utensils when we wanted to prepare our own meals. That said there was plenty of places to eat literally outside the apartment and in both directions to suit all tastes and bugets.

Our rooms lock broke and while we were told that someone is coming to fix it in the next 5 min it took over an hour for them to arrive. Our room was not in the main building, if you have big luggage and long flight behind you it's not the greatest thing to go and do check in in another building and walk couple minutes to get to your apartment building. When I first went to the apartment the TV didn't work and the kitchen "boards" (between kitchen cabinets and floor) were laying on the floor. Both were fixed after check in but should have been done after/during cleaning.
Clean rooms, nice staff, good location. Whole apartment was spacefull and airy. For the money we paid it was good value.

The apartment facilities needed a bit of TLC, (the sealent around the bath needed re-doing and the doors for the shower had yellowed etc) There was no liquid, tea towels or cloth for washing dishes, we were only there for 3 nights and the only washing liquid we could find was €3.50! There wasn't much crockery, we had to ask for mugs for a hot drink. If you want peace and quiet this isn't the place for you because of traffic noise.
The location was perfect with amazing sea views and the apartments were really spacious. The roof top pool was in a separate building and was amazing with both indoor heated and outdoor pool and also has fantastic views! There was also a beauty room and restaurant. All accommodation was clean and the reception staff were really helpful. I'd stay again!
