A Place tò relax and visit Malta
Pros:

A sincere thank you tò the hotel manager that left a message and a complimentary service that included two bottles of local White wine and a 2 litre still water . After 2 hours of airplane we enjoyed this welcome service and we Will come back next Summer and we Will recommend this hotel for the excellent service a offered. All 4 stars are deserved and the two bedroom rooms were big, clean and had air- conditioning, a fridge and boiler set with tea/ coffee.

The hotel was in a good position in Saint Paul' s bay and nearby 4 mins on foot tò the bus stop station front which we could take buses that go tò Valletta, St Julian, Sliema, Mdina. I liked the half board which included a buffet breakfast and a buffet dinner with quite a good selection of food. The breakfast was Continental/ British but there were also options for Europeans as It included cakes, yogurt, cereale and marmelades . I also loved the 4 swimming pools and the top terrace with Jacuzzi. A hotel ideal for couples, friends/groups and families. The hotel has also a bar and a la carte menù restaurant if you want tò order special plates.

Cons:

Everything was excellent. We are satisfied and the hotel was perfect for us since my sis enjoyed the Gym, the Jacuzzi and the swimming pools. I enjoyed the possibility tò Explore the entire Island and I enjoyed the lively atmosphere of Qawra and Bugibba . Every night there were music, djs and aperitivi untill late night. The seaside promenade was Amazing too. Don' t miss the restaurant Ta Fra Ben and the acquariaum and its bar called la Nave!.

Πολύ καλό καί εξυπηρετικό προσωπικό. Τίμιο για τα λεφτά του Πολύ καλό σημείο. Εξαιρετικά γεύματα.
Pros:

Μας αναβάθμισαν τό δωμάτιο για να μην μας ενοχλήσουν οι νεαροί εκδρομείς από τα σχολεία.
Πραγματικά ήταν απίστευτο τό δωμάτιο πού μας έδωσαν καί σίγουρα πολύ τίμιο για τα λεφτά του.
Στην νέα πτέρυγα τού ξενοδοχείου.
Τό προσωπικό υπέροχο καί πολύ εξυπηρετικό!
Πολύ καλό πρωινό καί βραδινό δείπνο.
Δίπλα στην κεντρική στάση λεωφορείου καί σέ σημείο πλάζ δίπλα στο ενυδρείο.
Νομίζω από τα καλύτερα σημεία για τούς καλοκαιρινούς μήνες.

Cons:

Λόγο τών νεαρών επισκεπτών η κατάσταση στην πισίνα κάποιες μέρες ήταν αφόρητη δυστυχώς.
Τσιγάρα και ποτήρια πεταμένα κάτω.
Νομίζω ότι αυτές τίς μέρες θέλει σίγουρα προσωπικό καθαριότητας στους εξωτερικούς χώρους.
Δυστυχώς το σπα είναι πάρα πολύ παλιό με σκουριασμένες ντουζιέρες καί παρατημένο.
Λυπάμαι που αναγκάζομαι να τό αναφέρω αλλά σίγουρα θα πρέπει ή νά ανακαινιστεί ή να κλείσουν την συγκεκριμένη παροχή.

Comfortable stay. Great location and nice staff.
Pros:

Comfortable stay if you’re looking for a place to spend the night and take a shower after exploring the island. We spent most of our days sightseeing, so we didn’t spend much time at the hotel.
The hotel is older but well maintained, making it a good choice if you’re not looking for a luxury stay. The staff were friendly, helpful, and supportive throughout our visit.
During our stay, there was a group of students at the hotel, so it was quite noisy at night. The rooms are a bit dated, although some have been partially renovated. The air conditioning is old but works reasonably well.
The rooms were clean, which was the most important thing for us. Overall, if you’re looking for good value for money, this hotel is a solid choice.
Great location!

Cons:

The mattresses could definitely be replaced, as they were quite old and not very comfortable. The breakfast was rather basic, with a fairly limited selection.

Vacanza a Malta Low Cost
Pros:

Posizione ottima, a 5 min a piedi dal capolinea dei bus Burgibba Bay, dal quale è possibile raggiungere tutte le principali mete dell'isola, a 10 da una delle spiagge più belle di Malta, Tan Fra (all'interno di una riserva naturale) e dal lungomare dove si sviluppa tutta la vita di St Paul's Bay.
Ampia camera matrimoniale con terrazzino, armadi e cassetti, con spazi adeguati per due persone.
Al rooftop si trova un cocktail bar (prezzi contenuti) aperto fino alle 23
Super professionali e gentilissime le receptionist. Buon compromesso se si vuole trascorrere una vacanza nell'isola a pochi metri dalle spiagge ed in una favorevole posizione per raggiungere le principali località

Cons:

Avevo alte aspettative per un quattro stelle riguardo la pulizia che sono state soddisfatte a metà. Nonostante il cartello che segnalava la richiesta di pulizia dopo la prima notte, la camera è stata pulita il giorno successivo (sempre su mia sollecitazione). Una volta rientrata, mi sono accorta dell'assenza di asciugamani ed avvertito la reception, che ha contattato il personale che si occupa delle pulizie, Asciugamani per i quali ho dovuto attendere 40 minuti dopo una seconda chiamata alla reception. Una volta arrivati ho notato che erano sporchi e con vistose macchie, ma questa volta sono stati tempestivamente cambiati. I Punti luce presenti in camera eranno solo due sotto la tv e lontani dal comodino.
Phon fornito è quello da viaggio, per giunta guasto, per il quale ho dovuto richiedere più volte la sostituzione che non è stata effettuata, ragion per cui la receptionist mi ha fornito un nuovo phon tempestivamente. La location necessita ristrutturazione per gli interni, con tanto di impianto clima funzionante ma obsoleto. Buffet colazione con una vasta scelta per gli amanti del salato, meno ampio per chi predilige il dolce con 3 tipologie di marmellate e due torte locali.
