Pros:

Great stay at Hotel Alba in Malta. The hotel is new, very clean, and tastefully designed. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and our room with a jacuzzi was exactly as expected. Breakfast was fresh, tasty, and offered a good variety. We had a very pleasant stay!

Agréable séjour d'une nuit
Pros:

Jolie guest house récemment rénovée et dotée d'un agréable jardin avec une petite piscine chauffée. Literie confortable. Chambre côté cour très calme dont certaines avec balcon. Excellent rapport qualité/prix.

Cons:

L'hôtel donne sur une rue passante. Mieux vaut privilégier les chambres côté jardin si vous aimez vivre avec la fenêtre ouverte.

Pros:

Havre de paix à Sliema, si vous préférez une belle bâtisse traditionnelle avec un jardin délicieux au lieu d'être dans un grand complexe impersonnel.
Les personnes travaillant à l'hôtel sont au petit soin pour vous !
Très bien situé dans la ville, arrêt de bus à 50m très pratique et proche du ferry pour la Valette.

Pros:

La struttura si e' presentata abbastanza bene, pulita e accogliente.
La posizione non e' delle piu' brillanti ma nemmeno delle piu' scadenti.
Era fuori mano dai punti piu' frequentati ma fortunatamente i mezzi pubblici, di ottima qualita', vicino da usufruirnep
