Great location and friendly staff
Pros:

We were very enthusiastically greeted by staff as soon as we arrived and were offered welcome drinks during check-in. The check-in process itself was smooth and clear. The room was clean, spacious, and exactly as shown in the photos.
The hotel’s location is great; less than a 10-minute walk to the Sliema–Valletta ferry port. There is also a lovely promenade just across the road, which is perfect for a relaxed stroll.

Cons:

Soundproofing overall was good. On one occasion we could hear the TV from the room next to us, though it may simply have been that the volume was very high.

Toller Blick auf die Altstadt und ein sehr umfangreiches Frühstück
Pros:

Die Lage des Hotels mit Blick auf die Altstadt von Valletta ist insbesondere Abends besonders. Man kann die Altstadt sehr gut mit der Fähre oder Wassertaxis erreichen. Das Frühstück ist sehr, sehr umfangreich und gut! Das ganze Personal ist sehr zuvorkommend, freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Cons:

nichts

A room with a view... literally
Pros:

Absolutely loved everything about this hotel.
Arrived 11am and given a prosecco greeting at reception after completing check in and dropping luggage off
The lady on reception said she'd phone us if our room was ready before 3pm.
Hotel is spotlessly clean and all members of staff were really polite and seemed to love their job.
The room was absolutely fantastic and with complimentary bottle of wine. Spacious and with a balcony and sun lounger area overlooking Valletta.
Well worth paying extra to treat yourself to the better rooms..
Had to more or less drag my wife out the room when it was time to leave she loved it that much.
Check out time of 12pm is always good and no problems to leave luggage and collect later.

Cons:

The room was high up but had no blinds in the bathroom so although you get great views of Valletta whilst showering through the big windows, you can't help but wonder if someone in Valletta with a telescope is getting a great view of you given we could see directly into our shower area from our balcony sun lounger area.
Apart from that bit of paranoia I can't fault this hotel on anything and would definitely stay here again.

kelelme, kedves a szemelyzet is elérjhető, jó
Pros:

MINDEN OK VOLT

Cons:

MIVEL A csapvíz nem iható, ezért naponta egy liter vizet kapunk, ugynakkor szerintem 3 vizet kellene kapnunk ahhoz, hogy ne kellejen ott vasarolnunk a szallodaban 8 euros vizet

Un personnel et un emplacement exceptionnels
Pros:

L'emplacement exceptionnel a mon sens le meilleur de la ville avec une vue imprenable sur La Vallette.
Le personnel est très sympathique, disponible, serviable et attentionné, avec une mention particuliere pour Inman.
L'hotel tres bien insonorisé. En 10 minutes de ferry on debarque dans La Valette, les restaurants de Sliema sont dans l'ensemble bon et copieux a 5 minutes a pied de l'hotel.

Cons:

La telecommande de la tele est tres complexe a utilisée.
