Pros:

Lokalizacja, klimatyzacja, personel.

Cons:

Dziwny zapach na parterze przy recepcji i zaduch na korytarzach. Ale w pokoju wszystko wporządku więc dało się przeżyć te krótkie momenty, w których trzeba było przejść przez korytarz do windy.

Great stay. Just Google it!
Pros:

I loved the location of the hotel, which was on the seafront. The pool was beautiful and had a bar.
The breakfast was delicious and the variety good..

Cons:

One of the reception staff could of been a bit more helpful. On arrival I asked him where the nearest shop was and he's like google it. His manner and tone was terse.

Perfecte ligging om Sliema en Valetta te ontdekken.
Pros:

Het personeel was zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Het ontbijt was zeer uitgebreid, alles aanwezig en afwisselend.
De ligging aan de boulevard is geweldig. Restaurants zijn op wandelafstand.

Cons:

De kamers zijn gerenoveerd maar het meubilair is opgeknapt en niet vervangen. Dat maakt het nog steeds wat oudbollig.
Netheid kan beter; wij vonden vieze lepeltjes op onze kamer en ook een vlek op de vloer.

Çok iyi
Pros:

Kahvaltı SÜPER !!! Otelin yeri cok iyi, deniz kenarındasiniz. Personel de anlayışlı ve ilgiliydi.

Cons:

Kaldığımız 510 no'lu odanın banyosunda dusakabinde tek taraflı cam vardı.Tüm özelimizi rağmen, sular banyoya akıyordu ve oradan da odaya taşiniyordu.Ben skolyoz ameliyatli ve 60 li yaslarda bir insanim.Odada ayağım kaydığı için 2 kez düşme tehlikesi geçirdim.510 no lu odanın banyosu mutlaka şu tasmayacak hale getirilmeli.!!!

All in all, a good hotel & would recommend
Pros:

Location was great. Breakfast was excellent & nearly all the staff were lovely

Cons:

Reception staff have an attitude problem, especially one of them. Happy to give you his name if necessary.
For a 4 star Hotel bathroom amenities could have been better. The hair dryer was out of the arc
