Pros:

We had a wonderful stay and would happily come back again. We especially enjoyed the swimming pool, which was clean and perfect for relaxing after a day of sightseeing. The breakfast was delicious and offered a great variety of options.

We also appreciated the water fountain, which was very convenient, especially during the warm weather. Another nice touch was the selection of board games available to borrow, which made our evenings even more enjoyable.

The location is excellent, with plenty of restaurants nearby, as well as a laundry service within walking distance. There is also a convenient passage close to the property that leads directly to a supermarket, making it very easy to pick up anything we needed.

Thank you for the great hospitality and for making our stay so enjoyable!

Perfect for younger people because of its position.
Pros:

Room was good size, but one huge chair took up too much space. The hotel position was very central, near the waterfront and restaurants

Cons:

The bedroom ceiling had an area of black mould which appeared to be from a water leakage in the bathroom upstairs.

Pros:

Breakfast area was cool.

Cons:

The room was different from what I booked and not as shown in the pictures on Booking.com. It was tiny and the listing was misleading.

Pros:

Läget- nära till allt på en tyst och lugn gata något kvarter över turiststråken. En jättetrevlig och generös kvinna som var enda personal vi träffade på detta lilla hotell🥰 Jättesköna sängar och bra AC. Frukt, yoghurt och mackor fanns oftast att ta om man ville även efter frukost🤩

Cons:

Poolen var väldigt liten och blev väldigt varm snabbt så där var vi inte så mycket, men vi hade så mycket annat att göra så det gjorde inget.

Very nice stay in St Julian
Pros:

Since I checked in outside the check-in times, I was provided with clear instructions for self-checkin. The room was modern and very clean. It had a little balcony with a view of the bay. The breakfast was good and although I did not use it, I appreciated the possibility to take some sandwiches/yogurts from the fridge downstairs. The location was quite central (close to many restaurants and a big supermarket) and free street parking was available.

Cons:

Nothing. Everything was fine.

Fajne miejsce na bazę noclegową, ładne oraz zadbane, miła obsługa.
Pros:

Ładne miejsce, pomimo małego metrażu bardzo dobrze rozplanowane. Dodatkowe udogodnienia, jak np ręczniki plażowe dla gości zdecydowanie na plus. Śniadanie skromne ale bardzo smaczne. Dodatkowym atutem przestrzenie na dachu z leżakami i stołem oraz basenem.

Cons:

Basem bardzo mały, na zdjęciach sprawia wrażenie wiekszego

Wij hebben genoten en hebben ons heel welkom gevoeld
Pros:

Moderne inrichting en zeer vriendelijke gastvrouw. Op het dakterras waren we meestal met ons tweetjes, terwijl het hotel wel redelijk vol is.

Cons:

Kamer is wel heel klein, kleine badkamer en klein balkon. Vonden het jammer dat er geen kast op de kamer staat. Misten vooral wat legplanken en/of lades. (Hangrek was er wel)

スタイリッシュなホテル
Pros:

スタイリッシュな部屋で、必要なものがコンパクトにまとまっていた。
屋上のプールからは街が見下ろせて新鮮だった。
朝食でおすすめされて食べたチョコレートクロワッサンが美味しかった。
受付のスタッフは優しかった。

Cons:

バス停から坂道なので、スーツケースでの移動は大変だった。
荷物がなければショートカットできるので不便は感じなかった。
チェックインの時間より早く着いたからか、受付のベルを押してもしばらく誰も出てこなかった。メール連絡したらすぐに対応してくれ、到着から受付まで20〜30分ほどかかったが、アーリーチェックインしてくれたので助かった。
