Pobyt zaliczony do udanych
Pros:

Pokój czysty i schludny, dobrze wyciszony - nie było słychać nocnych hałasów z tętniącego życiem St. Julian. Obsługa bardzo mila, spory wybór dań w room service. Basen InterContinental w cenie naprawdę zrobił robotę.

Cons:

Śniadania nie powaliły, do wyboru dania ciepłe: jajka, które smakowały jak z proszku, bekon, który nie wyglądał jak bekon, pieczone pomidory, grzyby i kiełbaski - akurat tutaj całkiem smaczne. Wybór pieczywa poprawny.
Reszta bez uwag.

Leider ist der Strand beim Hotel sehr schmutzig. Wir haben das Hotel auch wegen der Nähe zum Strand gebucht und waren letztendlich nicht am Strand

We came to this hotel for the first time for a 5 night holiday and we are super satisfied!
It was me and my girlfriend.
attention to the customer, quiet, room, breakfast. Everything was superb.
Position is very good, it has a very close beach, you can see it from the terrace, if you eat and go to the beach somewhere around 09/10, you will definitely get a place.
It is good connected to public transport, you have something to visit in the surroundings and you will not get bored, if you like nightlife, there are many clubs around this hotel where you can have fun, if you do not like nightlife, do not worry, the hotel is quiet and you will not be disturbed.
The hotel offers free fast Wi-Fi
Pay attention to the sockets, carefully look for the type of socket, I personally come from Romania and the socket is completely different
