Jó kiindulási pont Málta felfedezéséhez.
Pros:

Jól felszerelt hotel, bőséges reggeli vàlasztékkal, nagyon kedves ès segítőkész szemèlyzettel.
A buszmegálló pár perc sètára van, a központ és a kikötő kb 20-25 perc sèta, ahonnan a kiránduló hajók indulnak. Sajnos üzlet nincs túl sok a környéken.

Goed hotel dat voldeed aan de verwachtingen
Pros:

alles was aanwezig, proper en goed. Ligging een beetje buiten het centrum, dus minder druk, vlak aan de promenade.

Cons:

de foto's online (Booking.com) zijn niet helemaal realistisch: het lijkt alsof het een immens groot hotel (de lokalen, niet het aantal kamers), maar in werkelijkheid is alles net iets kleiner, minder modern (maar wel in orde).

Dal diplomatic al cavalieri in un attimo 🫣
Pros:

In teoria avrei dovuto soggiornare in questo hotel, ma in pratica ho’ soggiornato in un’altra struttura, e’ la prima volta che mi capita , ci sono rimasta molto male, perché io ho’ richiesto appositamente il diplomatic perché era a 100 metri dalla partenza in escursione del giorno dopo, dal Diplomatic al Cavalieri in un attimo …
Quindi sinceramente non so veramente cosa scrivere

P.s. Ancora non ho ben capito cosa sia successo, lo staff del diplomatic , mi ha detto che il sistema non ha funzionato, quindi hanno provveduto per un’altra sistemazione.

Cons:

Non saprei , ho’ solo sostato 5 min 😏
