Generally clean with housekeeping praised and pools described as very clean, but a reported sewer smell in one room and busy spa evenings reduced perceived cleanliness/comfort for some guests.

Multiple comments highlight a very central location, short walks to buses, restaurants, shops and the ferry; a few noted that some tourist sites require a short ride but transport is convenient.

Pros:

Check in was smooth, staff were welcoming and accommodating. The room was well designed and spacious. Bed was comfortable and the shower had good water pressure. I was particularly impressed with the gym facilities, a spacious area with ample cardio equipment as well as plenty of fixed weight machines and free weights. I paid the additional fee for breakfast on one morning and found the buffet to be varied in terms of choice as well as of a good quality. The hotel is conveniently situated, just a short walk from the main area of the town where there is an abundance of restaurants, shops and other attractions. I would definitely stay here again and I would also recommend it to anyone looking for a hotel in this area.

Pros:

Mixed but ultimately positive experience. The hotel is clean and modern with good amenities and a decent location. The spa staff and housekeeping were outstanding but the main reception was inconsistent and it really depended on who available to deal with your questions. The lobby bar is small, but had enough options and was fairly priced for the area. The spa was far too busy in the evenings and was filled with screaming kids, making it less of a serene relaxing experience and more like being at a leisure centre swimming pool, the 7PM closing time also didn't help.

Pros:

Das Hotel lag sehr zentral in 3 Minuten zu Fuß fuhren
die Busse nach Valletta. Von dort konnte man über die ganze Insel Fahren.
Das Zimmer war sehr gut eingerichtet, das Frühstück war ok. Das Schwimmbad war groß und sehr sauber, sowie der Außenpool. Wir werden bestimmt noch einmal nach Malta fliegen.

Pros:

Great location, staff were lovely, breakfast tasty, views from the rooftop bar and pool exceptional. Overall a wonderful vibe and a short walk from everything in Sliema (including the 5 minute ferry across to Valetta). Wonderful little trip, thank you so much for having us.

Pros:

Very nice brand new hotel in Malta that’s close to the bus stop. The location is not too convenient for exploring typical tourist destinations but ride share is inexpensive in Malta so we opted for that most of the time.
The bathroom in our room smelled like sewer but they were able to get us into a different room the next day.
There’s construction going on everywhere near the hotel but the rooms are pretty soundproof. We could only hear the construction noise when we opened the sliding door.
There’s lots of restaurants about 2-3 blocks away that’s by the water.
The rooftop pool looked nice.

Our stay at this hotel was amazing. Wouldn’t change a thing. Enjoyed the location and the room itself. Perfect size for a couple. Loved the full length mirror and the small balcony. Wonderful staff. Breakfast was pretty good. Would especially like to thank Sarah at the front desk. She really helped make sure that our stay was so memorable. Thank you!
