Pros:

Sijainti aavistuksen syrjässä pääkadulta, mikä tuo rauhaa, mutta kuitenkin lähellä palveluja ja merta. Aamupala oli hyvä ja vaihteleva. Siivous ja tilojen siisti ilme tekivät vaikutuksen. Kattoterassi ja uima-allasalue olivat mahtavat. Huoneen sivuttainen merinäköala oli kaunis.

Cons:

Tullessa vastaanottovirkailija vaikutti todella kiireiseltä, eikä ohjeistanut kunnolla hotellin palveluista. Hotellissa on mahdollisesti jonkinlaisia sisäilmaongelmia, esimerkiksi aamupalatilassa haisi ummehtuneelta. Ilmastointi on lähinnä tuuletus, mutta näin toukokuussa se oli riittävä.

A lovely place to experience Malta from
Pros:

Fantastic location right by the sea. Lovely rooftop pool. Good value. Comfortable and quiet. Shops, restaurants and the ferry to Valletta all within walking distance, plus a bus stop right outside. Decent breakfast too.
