Gentillesse du personnel est une grande qualité
Pros:

Nous avons passé un magnifique séjour à Malte grâce aussi à ce merveilleux hôtel où nous avons été mis à l'honneur chaleureusement durant toute la durée de notre passage. Tout le personnel que nous avons croisé est charmant et attentionné. Merci à Asif pour l'accueil courtois. Merci à Nico pour les conversations. Merci à Nirvik pour l'écoute et les voyages en discussions. Merci à Hadil pour les petits soins et les précieux conseils. Merci à Priyanka pour la gentillesse et le service aimable. Merci aussi à tous ceux avec qui nous n'avons pas pu faire plus ample connaissance et qui nous ont envoyé des sourires. Toutes cette bienveillance est à souligner dans cet hôtel. ❤️
Un "petit"-déjeuner de qualité dans le ventre nous a donné des forces pour visiter cette magnifique île de Malte. 🏝️
La propreté de la chambre était parfaite, apprêtée tous les jours. 🫧
Bus dans les différentes directions à proximité. 🚌
Bref, nous recommandons vivement cet hôtel. 👍

Cons:

Petit bémol pour la piscine trop froide (fin octobre). On a préféré la mer. 🌊

Rooftop terrasse amazing!
Pros:

The staff is amazing, i had some issues with the first room and the manager was so helpful. The hotel stands out for its rooftop terrase with the small pool. The terrase transforms from spa during the day to a lounge in the evening, where you can chill after working day or relax if you are on holiday, they bring food there, which was great taste and surprised me who does not like to eat in hotel restaurants. Some meals were really super tasty and the staff very accommodating. The rooms are pretty small but well equipped, just check if it has window if important fof you, like elsewhere in Malta. The gotel us in central stret, well connected to small shops, transportation. Usualy i stsy only in Valetta in Malta, but this hotel was very vonvenient and i will stay again.

We missed our flight and the hotel took care of the rest!
Pros:

From the moment we arrived, we instantly felt that familiar, five-star feeling! Hadil was so wonderful with my partner and our baby. I kept thinking that she was just like my son’s godmother, as if they were kindred spirits from another mother! Our son absolutely loved her, and seeing that connection was so heartwarming.
I really loved the smell of the hotel, as well as the conditioner and body lotion, which are must-haves in the Mediterranean! The rooftop pool offered beautiful views across the island. I felt as though I were looking out from the heart of a Maltese lion!
The lounge gave us the chance to unwind, gather ourselves, and enjoy some wonderful experiences, including St. Anton Gardens and the Farsons Brewery experience.
Nirvik was also there for us in such a kind and noble way, helping carry my two-year-old son, Dante, when my sister, who was visiting us, became unwell. I trusted them, and they trusted me. That kind of genuine care means so much, especially when you’re traveling with a young family.
Coming from a family with a background in the hotel business, I kept telling myself that this is truly what a five-star boutique hotel should feel like! It was cozy, welcoming, and incredibly hospitable for a young family like ours.
There was also an Italian gentleman whose name I unfortunately can’t remember, but I will never forget him! He opened up the rooftop for Dante and me so we could watch the sunrise together. We had that beautiful moment in the golden morning sunshine to meditate and pray before our flight. It was such a special memory, and I’m so grateful he made it possible.
Ebba absolutely loved the pillows, and even the locals raved about the food! I highly recommend trying the fried goat cheese.
Hadil and Nirvik, thank you for treating us like family and making our stay so special. It’s the people who make a place unforgettable

Cons:

A robe and slippers would have been nice, and I’m sure we would have received them if we had visited the spa. The service staff could use a little more training and guidance—perhaps taking a few tips from their exceptional team members would help elevate the overall guest experience.

Excellent hotel with the best staff Hadil/Nirvik and others.
Pros:

Lovely place and the staff was very very nice/good/kind/professional/helpful and Hadil and Nirvik in the reception helped us with everything and made us feel special. In the restaurant Uvi and the rest of the staff was also excellent so the whole hotel just has the aura of kindness. Birkirkara is close to everything so we took bolt/uber everywhere. The executive lounge was a good spot and easy to get water drinks etcetcetera.The pool area was small but when we were there we got a spot all the time.We had 2 rooms and one of them was the penthhouse and it was great with the big terrace. 10/10 for this hotel.Thanks Tommy with family

Cons:

A little responsive door to the corridor.
