Pros:

Emplacement pratique. Personnel à l'accueil présent 24/24. Ménage impeccable et prix raisonnable.

Cons:

Hôtel un peu désuet, chambre avec douche dans la baignoire avec un rideau plastique qui évidemment colle à la peau... Le petit déjeuner est conçu davantage pour les anglo-saxons, donc peu de sucré, pain rassis et jus d'orange pas bon.

Good location, disappointing; stay somewhere else
Pros:

Location, staff friendly

Cons:

I last stayed here over 18 years ago, unfortunately nothing has changed. Same decor, very poor bland breakfast. No tea and coffee facilities in room, not even a kettle. The room we were in was tired and poor condition. Send as though part of the hotel has been improved but I didn’t get to see these areas. Overpriced, look for somewhere else I would suggest. Please if you actually read this lose the Covid era screen on the front desk. It served little purpose then and even less now.

Cons:

Camera un po' datata e senza una finestra per cambiare aria, l unica finestra davanti sull interno dell' albergo e in alto era chiuso,quindi era come nn averla a parte che di fronte c era il corridoio e quindi dovevamo stare anche con le tende chiuse

Jól éreztük magunkat! Minden OK:
Pros:

Nem változatos, minden nap ismétlődő.

Cons:

Például lehetne két pohár a fürdőszobában fogat mosni. A szobában sincs pohár!!! Lehetne tusfürdő.

The stay was okay, the best thing about the hotel, was the view.
Pros:

The room had a beautiful view of Sliema harbour/ Bay and Valletta. Other than that, nothing special at all. The roof pool was pleasant , nice to relax and cool off each day if we had time. It was close to several restaurants and right across from the bay, Most were within a 10 min walk, which was very convenient.

Cons:

"Hot" breakfast was cold, shower wasn't good for anyone over 5 foot 5 , lack of water pressure, room itself was small for the cost, balcony also was smaller than expected and only one chair, so if two people are there, only one can sit on the balcony at a time.

Pros:

Lokalita byla dobrá, výchozí bod na výlety skvělý.

Cons:

Hotel nesplňoval 4*, spíš průměr 3*. Vybavení staré, pokoje nevyvětratelné, buď okno do vestibulu, ze kterého šlo už od 6 hod. ráno kravál, protože připravovali snídaně a nebo okno do dvora, kde byl po 2 metrech další hotel. Tekl záchod, tekl odpad z umyvadla. Voda nikdy nebyla studená, max. vlažná. I když na recepci řekli, že bazén zavírá ve 23 hod. (nikde totiž neměli napsanou otevírací dobu), tak už v 19:30 nás vyháněl barman, že se zavírá.
Tento hotel bych si pro další ubytování již nezvolila.
