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.

We enjoyed it.
Pros:

We stayed at this hotel for a week with my husband, and we absolutely loved it. The view from our window was stunning — overlooking the sea and Valletta. The hotel itself is very modern, everything is new and well-maintained. Tea, coffee, and water were replenished daily, which was a nice touch.

Housekeeping cleaned our room every morning. In the evenings, someone would come by to ask if we needed anything, and if we were not in the room, they would do a small additional cleaning. The staff throughout the hotel were incredibly friendly and welcoming.

The hotel has excellent facilities: a restaurant, bar, gym, spa, pool, two saunas, a hammam, a cold plunge, a jacuzzi, and a variety of massages. The spa is open until 7 PM, and the pool inside the spa has warm water, which we really enjoyed. There is also an on-site beauty salon where you can get manicures, pedicures, waxing, makeup, and more. Another great bonus is that the hotel offers 24/7 room service.

We also had access to the Manta pool area. To get free access to the sunbeds, you need to make a reservation at the hotel reception one day in advance, so it’s good to plan ahead. You can also pick up towels for Manta at the reception, which is very convenient. We didn’t take breakfast at the hotel since it ends at 10:30 and we usually wake up later, but we ate at Manta instead — their breakfasts are amazing and served until noon.

The room had everything we needed: robes, slippers, an iron and ironing board, all essential toiletries like lotion, hair conditioner, shampoo, and even dental kits (toothbrushes and toothpaste). We were very satisfied with our stay.

The area around the hotel is very peaceful, and within walking distance there are plenty of great modern restaurants with delicious food. The ferry to Valletta is only about 5 minutes away, and from the same area you can take boats to the Blue Lagoon, Gozo, Comino, and other beautiful spots.

We highly recommend this hotel.

Cons:

Spa opening hours:
The spa closes around 6–7 PM, which felt a bit too early for us. We spent the whole day exploring Malta, and it would have been perfect to relax in the warm pool, spa, or jacuzzi later in the evening — ideally around 8–10 PM.

Breakfast timing and price:
Breakfast at the hotel looked delicious and seemed to offer a great variety, but the price felt quite high — about €30 per person, which adds up to around €60 for a couple. Breakfast is also only served until 10:30 AM, and since we usually wake up around that time, we preferred having breakfast in the nearby restaurants, many of which serve breakfast until noon and it cost 25-30€ for both together.
