Pros:

Heel vriendelijk personeel. Kamer proper. Rustige locatie, maar dicht bij alles. Goede ligging om uitstapjes te doen.

Cons:

Het hotel kan in zijn geheel wel een opfrissingsbeurt gebruiken. Alles voelt wat oud en afgeleefd aan.

Good location. Suitable for a short stay. Room very basic, pool very noisy and busy.
Pros:

Fabulously staff and great location close to bus stops.

Cons:

Room poor for the price paid. 2 electric sockets for the whole room and nowhere near the beds. Pool packed and many paying for the day causing a lot of noise. Pool water cloudy.

Pros:

Very friendly and helpful lady at reception.
The room was available before the check-in time.
Luggage room available
Convenient location for the trips around west part of Malta

Cons:

The furniture is quite old. I have to agree with other comments here the towels smell badly.
Breakfast very basic. Only toast bread, no other kinds of bread available. No plain yogurt.
The pool is opened for public so during the weekends you cannot enjoy it.
The price/quality ratio not very good but it seems like standard in Malta. The quality of accommodation for the price you pay is very disappointing

Location was as described but it was impossible to use the pool.
Pros:

Check in was smooth and the property was clean

Cons:

The pool was so busy that we could not get seated at all, but this was because the hotel sold and reserved spaces for day guests and these were prioritised over hotel guests. Surely we have paid for the use of the pool when we chose a hotel with a pool rather than a cheaper hotel with no pool.

Just avarage
Cons:

A hotel for a maximum of 3 to 4 nights. My wife and I stayed on the top floor, and the old air conditioning simply couldn't keep up. It is just no longer up to today's standard. In 2026, as guests, we expect properly cooling air conditioning, not a system from the 80s. Was it super stuffy, and was I sweating? No. But the quality of the AC was just not good enough. Another issue was the incredibly boring breakfast. It was so repetitive and dull that even though we had paid for 9 breakfasts, we started going to a nearby café from the 6th day onward. If I had known how bad it was, I would have never bought breakfast here. We also had a problem with ants, and the hotel staff just mumbled under their breath that they were aware of the issue. In the end, they managed to get rid of them, but it left a bad taste in our mouth. On the positive side: the pool and the location. On the negative side: outdated amenities. Sorry, but it is just average.

Pros:

The room was clean and well-maintained, cleaned daily. The view from the balcony was beautiful. I enjoyed spending time by the pool with music playing in the background. The service was very nice and helpful especially the gentleman from the reception desk ,Riadh .The breakfasts are delicious and reasonably priced. If I return to Malta, I will definitely choose to stay at this hotel.I highly recommend it.

Fajny hotel w świetnej lokalizacji, czysty, z sympatyczną obsługą.
Pros:

Pobyt bardzo udany, bardzo fajne miejsce w dobrej lokalizacji. Atutem jest przystanek praktycznie pod samym hotelem, wszędzie można dojechać i nawet późne powroty nie są kłopotliwe, bo wysiada się praktycznie pod hotelem. Hotel posiada świetny basen, dużo kącików miejsc zarówno na pełnym słońcu, jak też w cieniu. Czysto.
Bardzo miły personel, sympatyczny Pan na recepcji, widząc nasze przerażenie po wejściu do przydzielonego pokoju, dość smutnego, bez widoku, z kiepskim oknem, w krótkim czasie zamienił pokój na bardzo ładny, z pięknym widokiem za niewielką dopłatą. Wszyscy bardzo uprzejmi i przyjaźni.

Cons:

Do słabszych punktów hotelu zaliczyłabym śniadania, monotonne, zawsze to samo, niewielki wybór, mało owoców, niestety jajecznica z proszku, nie do zjedzenia....

Pros:

La piscina e la stanza molto grande i suoi punti di forza. A Malta ci si muove facilmente utilizzando i mezzi pubblici o Bolt e Uber... Guidano in maniera "vivace" eviterei di affittare un auto.

Cons:

La pulizia non era affatto curata e soprattutto gli asciugamani bianchi erano macchiati, vecchi, e lisi . La colazione che non costa molto è poca roba, poca scelta e a mio avviso ci si può arrangiare da soli

Quite average.
Pros:

Room was spacious for three people

Cons:

Only one plug point to share between three people unless you unplug the fridge, then you get an extra one. Should have brought an extension cable. AC unit was old and dusty and sometimes stopped working. Loads of people would come to use the pool for the day so it would get quite crowded and sunbeds all taken. The poolside restaurant was too small for when all the extra people came.
