Pros:

Bellissima posizione e molto comoda per i vari spostamenti anche con i mezzi,fermata del bus praticamente sotto l'hotel.
Comodissima la piscina,piccola ma molto carina questa terrazza con la piscina e i lettini.
Stanza e ambienti comuni molto puliti!

Cons:

Unica cosa che manca in camera è il frigo,ma chiedendolo alla reception l'abbiamo avuto tranquillamente con un supplemento di 2€ a notte.

Geras kainos ir kokybės santykis
Pros:

Vieta yra gana rami apsistoti pasivaikščioti promenada, lyginant su St.Julians esančiais barais ir klubais. Galima naudotis 8ame aukšte esančiu baseinu ir gultais atsiveria puikus vaizdas, pusryčiai buvo pakankami.

Cons:

Salotos buvo padžiuvę, vonios kambaryje trūko muilo papildymo, bet visa kita buvo gana gerai, kambarys tvarkingas.

Pros:

Fajna lokalizacja tuż przy plaży. My akurat mieliśmy pokój z widokiem na morze - rewelacja.Pod samym hotelem jest przystanek autobusowy, niedaleko są sklepy i restauracje. Sam pokój całkiem ok. Czysty ale niezbyt przestronny - na kilka nocy daje radę. Fajna opcja to możliwość zjedzenia śniadania na dachu hotelu z widokiem na morze. Dobry stosunek jakości do ceny.

Cons:

Mały balkon - 2 osoby na raz na balkonie to już tłok ;). Przy meldowaniu trzeba podać numer karty kredytowej lub zostawić depozyt na poczet ewentualnych zniszczeń - nie wiem czy mieli z tym problem w przeszłości czy po prostu taka jest polityka hotelu ale zawsze czuję jakiś taki brak zaufania do klienta jeżeli poza standardową płatnością pobierany jest depozyt.

Great value hotel with pool and good breakfast
Pros:

The staff on reception were lovely. All of them we're really helpful
The breakfasts were really good for a small hotel. Every day there was a slightly different variety of cooked and continental breakfast.
The small roof top pool was a bonus, although the sea is only across the road.
The refurb is nice.

Cons:

The rooms were on the small side, however. that's to be expected given the price of the rooms

True 3 star hotel - clean, polite but…
Pros:

Overall okay, staff were all kind and helpful and polite. The senior man1 who was working in the day we arrived 21.08, including the woman and a tall man - all 3 of them were kind, professional and helpful (which I cannot say for the senior man2 who was working during the day on 27.08 - he clearly had problems with his younger colleagues I quote from his words “I worked 20 years in this business and never seen such situations, the new people come and they do not know anything”, - and HONESTLY? I really do NOT want to know or get engaged into the “beef” staff has between each other, what did he expect from me? (P.s this situation was because he could not find our room keys - which at the end apparently were under a stapler on the desk)

Facilities are kept clean, cleaning was everyday, room has a fridge and a TV and a private WC,
does not have a safe,
Swimming pool is so small - (in life hot tubs are same sized) so there was no point in getting into it.
View is of course beautiful, see the photo attached.
So my conclusion is: the hotel is okay and you can choose it if you plan to come at night and leave in the morning and have your breakfast elsewhere.

Cons:

we had the room with a seaview and balcony - you will see tons of other reviews mentioning the awful food smell coming from restaurants below the hotel - BELIEVE them, and yes it is to an extent where you cannot stay with an open window/door, so we had to run AC all the time without getting any fresh air while staying at the seaside…
Breakfast had a VERY SMALL selection. If you do not consume pork - then there is pretty much nothing warm/hot to eat. Other food like hashbrowns and etc were sooo dry - one had to drink water after each bite so it goes down your throat lol 🫣

Pros:

I liked the area, where the hotel is located, with promenade, beach and different restaurants. The room was not very big but comfortable, with amazing sea view. English and continental breakfast on the rooftop was quite good. The staff on the reception desk was helpful. There was daily cleaning.

Cons:

Only one small thing - the shower door. But this is nothing comparing to the hotel advantages.
I will definitely recommend this hotel to my friends.
