    The pool area is a bit tired but it does the job and there is a lovely space next to the harbour that hotel guest can use to swim in the sea (lots of fish!) with a bar and sun loungers.

    We enjoyed our stay at the hotel. We liked that there was filtered water available on every floor and the breakfast had a variety of choices both cooked and continental. Room was large and had all we needed with good A/C. The location was perfect for us as it is in a quieter area of St Paul's Bay but close to the boat dock for trips to the blue lagoon. There is also a lovely bar just down the stairs from the hotel which is cheap and cheerful for food and drinks.

    Not much. A kareoke under my window on 2 nights (I was there for 13 nights) but it wasn't that bad. I think it stopped at 11 or 12. I don't like the fact that you have to pay for a safe. This would be better included in the room rate.

    I have stayed at the Gillieru twice before, so knew what to expect. The staff ni reception, particularly Ariana are wonderful and very helpful. The room was perfect (side sea view) I had a generous balcony overlooking the boats and loved it. Personally I think the hotel has some old Malta charm. The bedrooms and wardrobes etc could do with a repaint, as there are chips etc...but this is a little thing. The price is good and it is so easy to get a bus from Mosta road towards Valletta, Naxxar or Sliema. There is a nice sunbathing area and the pool is saltwater. It is sometimes billed as 4 star, but I would put it at a good 3 star. Everything you need for a comfortable and well priced stay. I didn't have breakfast as there are plenty of options around, especially the little cabin to the right,out of the doors and walk down. Coffee is 1 euro etc. Well worth the money paid.

    The restaurant and facilities are laid out very well, i think the staff need to be properly trained and need some more experience.

    We didn't book with breakfast but used the restaurant area for lunch and it was pleasant, the food is a bit expensive for what it is.

    The adjoining restaraunt. Over priced for a start and food that really doesn't live up to it. Very disappointed with the food I received for the price paid. Steak at €43 which was served raw and cold in the middle. Returned to kitchen and the new steak given was too tough tocut through.

    Nice location. Quiet. Very well sized and laid out room. Tall ceilings which was really nice

    Room was comfortable and thoughtfully included water vessel and bottle opener. I didn't give 10 rating as the decor was rather tired and could do with a lick of paint.

    Lovely location with easy access to transport. Choice of different restaurants around to cater for all tastes and finances. Reception staff were very helpful.

    The view from our room was of the underneath of the bridge to the pool area, however as we were only there for one night I can understand why we were allocated this room. The mattress protectors were plastic-backed, making for a rather uncomfortable night.

    The lobby area was tastefully furnished and the receptionist was friendly and helpful. Our room was clean, bright and spacious. The location is handy for accessing the facilities in St. Paul's Bay, Bugibba and Qawra.

    I liked everything. But if you want somewhere with all the flash gadgets and overwhelming breakfast options then this may not be the place for you. For me, it was perfect

    The hotel felt like an authentic Maltese hotel, rather than just another corporate hotel. That is what I really liked about the hotel. The staff were very welcoming and friendly too

    The property is dated and needs upgrading to be considered a 4 star facility. Bed was uncomfortable with old springs. Room furniture and fixtures need upgrading. Room was not clean with bugs in the bathroom and in bed. Breakfast was mediocre : overcooked eggs, no butter, stale bread, etc.

    Great location on the water. Corner room with two balconies. Great swimming pool and patio
