Categories

Cleanliness
4
Multiple reviews report poor cleanliness — "povsod je bilo umazano", stained towels and generally dirty rooms; cleanliness is a clear negative.
Service
9
Mixed but generally positive service: several guests praise helpful staff, a welcoming manager gesture (wine and water, voucher) and good reception from some employees; one report of an unfriendly receptionist lowers consistency but overall staff responsiveness was highlighted.
Location
9
Consistently praised location near bus stops and seaside promenade; described as a very good base for exploring Malta (Qawra, Bugibba, easy bus access to Valletta, St Julian, Sliema, Mdina).
Room Quality
6.4
Rooms are described as spacious and in some cases clean and well-equipped (fridge, kettle, air-conditioning), but several guests report malfunctioning or noisy air conditioning and occasional shower problems — mixed room quality.
Amenities
9.2
Strong amenities: multiple pools, rooftop terrace with Jacuzzi, gym and bars noted positively; guests enjoyed pools, terrace and leisure facilities.
Value for Money
6.5
Mixed value perception: some guests found the half-board acceptable, others warn against all-inclusive due to food quality and note the hotel needs renovation — overall slightly below average value.
Food and Beverage
5.6
Repeatedly criticized for monotonous, repetitive breakfasts and limited variety at meals; some appreciated continental options but overall F&B variety and quality received negative comments.
Overall Experience
7.1
Mixed overall: some guests were very satisfied and would recommend (praised service, pools and location), while others were disappointed mainly due to cleanliness, noisy environment and poor AC/food — averaged impression aligns with target rating.

Malgré l’isolation assez mauvaise je recommande cet établissement, tout le reste été parfait
Pros:

Très bon accueil, personnel très agréable, chambre propre.
Problème avec une de mes affaires disparues, malgré que je ne parle pas l’anglais, personnel très réactif, très à l’écoute.

Cons:

Très mauvaise isolation, des personnes qui hurlent en terrasse et rigolent à gorge déployées à partir de 5h30 du matin et personne ne dit rien.

Dezamagitor
Pros:

Mi-a placut faptul ca am avut mic dejun si cina. Mesele frumos aranjate. Camerele spatioase. Mi-au placut prajiturile si cafeaua. Micul dejun si cina au fost acceptabile, daca nu esti pretentios. Cam atat...

Cons:

Sunt multe aspecte care nu mi-au placut. In primul rand ca pe holul de la primul etaj mirosea groaznic a urina si asta din cauza turistilor care si-au facut nevoile acolo. Ca o recomandare, ar trebui scoasa mocheta de pe hol. Camera in care am fost cazata avea mobila veche care mirosea foarte urat, nu am putut pune hainele in dulap. Lenjeria de pat foarte veche, ingalbenita si prosoapele murdare, patate, nu le-am putut folosi. Citind recenziile inainte de a rezerva, am crezut ca se exagereaza, dar din pacate asa este...

Lo consiglio solo per la posizione.
Pros:

La cortesia e la gentilezza dello staff, ma non basta. La posizione è tutto sommato buona, a pochi passi dalla stazione di autobus di Sant Paul’s Bay e da lì puoi raggiungere quasi tutti i luoghi di interesse di Malta. Il lungomare è a pochi minuti a piedi, ci sono molti ristoranti e bar vicini.

Cons:

Struttura vetusta è un po’ sporca. In camera l’aria condizionata funzionava male ed era molto rumorosa, c’era anche la ventola in soffitta, ma anche questa era rumorosa. In bagno c’era la vasca con doccia, ma era lesionata. Dovevano cambiare gli asciugamani ogni giorno, ma dal secondo giorno non hanno lasciato quelle del lavandino. Prezzo eccessivo per la qualità della struttura

Non un 4 Stelle...solo per persone con un alto grado di adattabilita´
Pros:

La posizione. Lo staff in generale era gentile e disponibile

Cons:

Partiamo dal presupposto che questo Hotel non e´un 4 Stelle. Se prenotate qui aspettandovi un 4 Stelle vero, rimarrete delusi.
Confermo come scritto in altre recensioni che le Lenzuola e gli asciugamani presentano macchie di dubbia natura.
L´Aria condizionata ha funzionato per i primi 3 giorni poi si e´spenta. Nonostante le mie richieste di ripararla non e´accaduto nulla.
Il Ventilatore a soffitto faceva lo stesso rumore del treno Dehli-Agra che presi qualche anno fa.
La qualita´ della colazione e´ bassa.
Se siete flessibili, volete spendere relativamente poco e volete stare pochi giorni, si puo´fare. Se cercate comfort e una vacanza tranquilla, cercherei altrove

Pros:

Balkon z widokiem na wschód słońca. Pokój 430.

Cons:

Wracam po roku na kolejny pobyt.
Niestety ogromna różnica w pokoju w porównaniu do roku poprzedniego. pokój 430 bardzo malutki łóżko nie wygodne. Nic się nie zmieniło w kwestii tv który niedzialal rok temu i nadal i nadal niedziala, brak pilota okazało sie ze za pilot jest depozyt. Brudno i to bardzo. Pełno włosów po poprzednich lokatorach. Klimatyzacja bardzo głośna. Woda cieknąca w spłuczce to chyba gratis w postaci muzyki relaksacyjnej „odgłos wodospadu”. Rok temu ciekła w innym pokoju i tu jest to samo. Śniadania monotonne produkty słabej jakości. 2 karty do pokoju to już chyba powinno być w standardzie jak się okazuje nie w tym hotelu. Do jacuzzi to strach wejść lata 80. Wyłożone płytkami i pełno grzyba fuj. Krzesła na balkonie to od Nowości chyba nie były umyte. Lodówka cała zamarznięta. W połowie pobytu Na pościeli były jakieś robaki niezidentyfikowane. Ręczniki wymieniane codziennie Le bardzo stare i zużyte. Nie zawsze były wydane wszystkie. Winda strach pomyśleć kiedy się zablokuje. Zapach grzyba z klimatyzacji na holu głównym. . Gorąco w windzie i korytarzach.

Very cool
Pros:

Very good location, staffs were very kind . During our stay we had a problem with our toilet seat, we reported that and it was repaired very quickly. They clean our rooms almost everyday and we had fresh towels 😀which is very good.

Cons:

The breakfast was really not nice 😀. The cucumber 🥒 taste very bitter, orange were quite great. They should add more yogurt categories but not just two taste categories.
