Fabulous Stay
Pros:

The staff are the jewel in the crown. Friendly, warm, polite and nothing is too much trouble.
Our room overlooked the harbour and the views were glorious.
We we celebrating our anniversary and they went out of their way to make it special for us. We were greeted with a plate of mini cakes, a mini bottle of wine and balloins and love hearts.
The food was lovely and the variety at breakfast was excellent.
Gym and spa were a lovely bonus. I would defintely stay here again.

Cons:

The room was lovely but it was right next to the Olive Grill restaurant so when they had their Abba night or live music, it did disturb us.

Lovely view but access to Valetta not simple
Pros:

View from our level 9 room
Bathroom
Plenty of room

Cons:

Transport too crowded on buses and ferries making getting to and from valetta difficult. Always a queue and often 2-3 buses went past before we could get on. Big walk uphill from valetta ferry terminal for 70 yr olds. And quite a long walk to hotel on sliema side.

Ideal for a break away or holiday
Pros:

The room was comfortable and clean and the bathroom too. Breakfast was excellent. Location ideal for sea views and a walk along a flat promenade. However the pavements are slippery.

Cons:

The description on Booking. Com omitted to mention that the outdoor pool was across a a busy road of four lanes and is also shared with other hotels and is payable on entry for private individuals who are not in any of the agreed hotels.
