Lo staff e’ particolarmente gentile ma l’hotel un po’ datato e la camera superior non particolarmente comoda. La colazi
Pros:

La comodità è la vicinanza al centro

Cons:

Ho prenotato una superior per tre persone. La stanza era una doppia piccolissima con una brandina aggiunta all’ultimo momento messa sotto la finestra. Non c’era spazio per muoversi

Pros:

Buona la posizione, se vi piace camminare vi potete spostare tranquillamente a piedi la sera. Ottima la colazione, dolce e salata. La camera non era quella mostrata in foto al momento dell’acquisto (era molto piccola, c’era un solo comodino). Staff gentile. Cambiava le lenzuola tutti i giorni e sistemavano la stanza

Cons:

La pulizia da migliorare

Pros:

Ubicación a 5 minutos del paseo marítimo
Atención del personal

Cons:

No es un hotel de 3*, es más bien un hostel.
Enchufes con holgura para cargar los móviles, tuvimos que bajar a recepción para cargarlos
Baño sin una estanteria para la bolsa de aseo, ni secador de pelo, sólo enchufe para afeitadora eléctrica
Pedimos doble y tenía supletoria que restaba espacio cuando es justa de tamaño
Limpieza muy básica
Desayuno tb básico

Hotel semplice, forse più due stelle che tre ma pulito, tranquillo e silenzioso. Posizione molto buona. Nulla di special
Pros:

La posizione e la pulizia.

Cons:

Le Finestre della camera e del bagno danno vista muro e condizionatori…ed infatti erano con vetri opachi.
Per essere un tre stelle mi aspettavo qualcosa in più anche per il prezzo ( economico rispetto al resto di Sliema ma comunque un pochino alto per i servizi e la qualità)

Ok ca hotel de buget
Pros:

Daca vizitezi Malta, cel mai important lucru de stiut despre acest hotel este ca are o locatie foarte buna si poate fi o varianta ok daca ai in plan sa explorezi insula si sa petreci mai putin timp in camera.

Personalul de la receptie a fost amabil. Initial am primit o camera care nu mi-a placut deloc din cauza baii, iar dupa ce am discutat la receptie, mi s-a oferit posibilitatea sa vad o alta camera. Am apreciat faptul ca au incercat sa gaseasca o solutie.

Locatia este unul dintre cele mai mari avantaje: esti aproape de statia de autobuz pentru aeroport, la aproximativ 10 minute de mers pe jos de zona portului/ferry-ului spre Valletta si aproape de restaurante, magazine si zone bune de plimbare.

Micul dejun este decent, nu spectaculos, dar gasesti ceva de mancare. Au avut fructe precum ananas, pepene rosu, banane si portocale, dar si oua, fasole, mezeluri, cascaval, rosii, castraveti, branza tip telemea, camembert, produse de patiserie dulci si sarate, croissante, cereale, cafea si lapte. Nu este un mic dejun foarte calitativ sau wow, dar pentru un hotel de buget este ok.

Curatenia se face zilnic: se ridica gunoiul si se aranjeaza camera. La plecare am primit si cateva bomboane din partea hotelului, un gest dragut.

Cons:

Camerele par sa difere destul de mult intre ele, iar fotografiile de pe Booking nu reflecta neaparat camera pe care o primesti. Prima camera primita, 115, era acceptabila ca dimensiune si luminoasa, dar baia era foarte veche, cu pereti zgariati, o chiuveta extrem de mica si amplasata nepractic, chiar in spatele usii. Mi s-a parut mult sub asteptari. Atasez poze din camera respectiva.

A doua camera primita, de la ultimul etaj, avea o baie mai ok si mai renovata, dar era foarte mica si incomoda, mai ales zona toaletei. Camera nu avea vedere, ci dadea spre instalatii tehnice care faceau un zgomot constant de fundal - nu era extrem de deranjant, dar tot se auzea.

Presiunea apei la dus a fost foarte slaba, mai ales in prima seara. Prosoapele erau curate, dar foarte uzate, cu aspect vechi. Curatenia mi s-a parut destul de superficiala, iar unele zone ale camerei ar avea nevoie de renovare si intretinere mai atenta.

Peretii sunt destul de subtiri, se mai auzeau persoane de pe hol/etaj, iar fiind aproape de terasa de la ultimul etaj, uneori se auzeau turisti care stateau acolo seara, chiar daca existau teoretic ore de acces.

Per total, este un hotel basic, de buget, potrivit daca ai nevoie doar de un loc unde sa dormi dupa o zi de vizitat. Nu l-as recomanda daca iti doresti confort, liniste, camere moderne sau o experienta de relaxare la hotel.

Pros:

Staff was very kind, smiling and willing to serve you. Specifically they treated me perfectly as there was a problem with my card. They were there, to find a solution. The location was very convenient in a safe position. 3 minutes walk were enough to be in the beach and it was close to points of interest.

Even though I only stayed for 2 nights, the staff took care to clean and change my towels. The hotel areas were super cleaned. Finally, the breakfast was satisfactory 😊

Cons:

I stayed in a single room and the mattress was very comfortable but the bed was small🥹 Unfortunately what I didn't like was that light came in from the window There was a curtain but it wasn't sufficient.
