Pros:

The hotel is in a good area. The only positivity.

Cons:

The walls are too thin, the doors are closing very loudly. The balconies are very close and in front of each other in a closed, small area. No fresh air can come in the room.
Every morning on the 9th floor! the whole room smelled frying oil, because of the breakfast prep. Plus there was some issue in the shower too, as it smelled like fish or and sewer smell. And there is only one small swimming pool in this hotel. The other bigger one is another hotel.
For breakfast there is not much choice.
We are not recommending this hotel.

Unwelcoming and unwelcoming
Pros:

Good location. Lots of food options near by. Very close to public transport.

Cons:

Aircon had pungent smell just after 5mins or starting it. Hotel staff tried to resolve it with maintenance but couldn't after 3 trials. Unfortunately they couldn't move us to different room since hotel was full. The reception staff was trying his best to reach the manager to resolve the situation - but he couldn't. I can see he was trying his best though.
Spent the night very uncomfortably in warm weather with window open while there is loud street noise coming from.
On second day, they moved us to another room with somewhat better situation.

Overall, very unpleasant experience staying there. Hotel manager and the reception staff need to improvise the customer experience further - and surely, treat customer as customer and not someone they are doing charity on.

Never coming back to this hotel again.

Sono rimasta pochi giorni, ma sono stati intensi e piacevoli
Pros:

La gentilezza dello staff, la camera e la posizione dell'hotel vicino al mare e alla scuola che ho frequentato

Cons:

Migliorerei la colazione, aggiungendo la frutta intera non solo tagliata a macedonia. Farei controlli più frequenti sul funzionamento degli ascensori. Aumenterei il personale addetto alle pulizie per una maggiore efficienza ed attenzione verso il cliente

Pros:

Czysto i nowocześnie (12 piętro pokój z widokiem na zatokę)
Fajny basen na dachu byliśmy w maju 40 leżaków a zajętych max 20, i jeszcze bardzo miłe było to że po oddaniu pokoju obsługa pozwoliła korzystać z basenu (wylot był o 19)
Śniadania duży wybór (chociaż niektórzy napiszą że monotonne)

Cons:

Brzydkie zapachy/zaduch z łazienki
No i niestety budowa obok hotelu młoty pneumatyczne od rana (to nie wina hotelu ale warto wiedzieć, tam budują coś co 500 metrów)

Geras kainos ir kokybės santykis.
Pros:

Gavome geresnį kambarį nei buvome užsakę - su terasa 13 aukšte. Iš terasos atsiveria ypatingai graži panorama į Valetą, prieplauką, miestą. Vaizdas puikus tiek dieną, tiek sutemus. Terasoje yra gulta, tad, kam patinka, galima ir pasideginti. Ant stogo nedidelė, bet jauki terasa su gultais, baseinu bariuku. Geri pusryčiai, labai malonus ir paslaugus personalas, kasdien tvarkomi kambariai, gera lokacija susisiekimui.

Cons:

Visą laiką jautėsi specifinis ir ne itin malonus kvapas kambaryje. Žmonėms, kurie jautrūs kvapams, galėtų būti nemalonu.

Good views, but the poor maintenance, noise, and lack of service did not justify the high price.
Pros:

I liked the location and the rooftop pool, although the pool was somewhat small. It offered a very nice view of Valletta. The bed mattress was comfortable and of good quality, and the breakfast was varied and fresh.

Cons:

The staff was not particularly friendly, and the housekeeping staff were very loud early in the morning. Unfortunately, the walls and doors were not soundproof, which made it difficult to sleep properly, as we were repeatedly disturbed by noise.

The room also had several maintenance and cleanliness issues. The bed sheets had stains, the coffee service was not sufficiently clean, and the electric kettle was leaking. The bathroom door had visible damage that appeared unrepaired, and the TV constantly displayed an error message. In addition, there was no iron in the room. I requested one around 18:00–19:00, but it was only delivered at 23:30, when we had already decided to go to sleep.

Considering the high price of the hotel, I do not think the overall quality and service justified the cost.

B dobrą lokalizacja, wygodny i duży pokój, Netflix
Pros:

Super lokalizacja, naprzeciwko praktycznie przystanek autobusowy w obie strony - blisko do promu do Valetty, Promenada aż do St Julians.
Na dachu taras z leżakami i malutki basenik, widok fajny, jednak obok trwa budowa więc dźwig i ciągłe odgłosy z budowy więc to troszkę przeszkadzało.

Cons:

Śniadania słabe.

Mon fils et moi avons apprécié ce séjour on reviendra très vite
Pros:

Excellent petit déjeuner, la propreté de l'établissement des chambres, pas de bruits, belle vue sur la mer, matelas de bonne qualité, le personnel toujours souriant et tres aimable , enfin l'ensemble. A retenir comme lieu pour la découverte de Malte proche de tout et très bien desservi.

Rien à signaler.

Fabuleux
Pros:

Emplacement idéal ,
Chambre spacieuse petit balcon où on peut s’y mettre avec vue latérale sur le port
Le toit piscine est fabuleux ! Avec mini bar petite musique d’ambiance la piscine parfaite après une journée de visite et une superbe vue sur La Valette au loin
Petit déjeuner bien avec choix limité mais suffisant
Je recommande et regrette de n’être pas rester plus longtemps .
Le rapport qualité prix imbattable pour la satisfaction qu’on a eu !
Ne cherchez pas plus loin celui ci est l’idéal !

Cons:

Dommage qu’on ne puisse pas avoir de fontaine à eau pour remplir nos gourdes ça aurait été un plus

Pros:

Hotel nuovo, dotato di una stupenda terrazza panoramica e piscina poste all’ultimo piano, vicinissimo alla fermata bus Ponsonby per andare alla stazione dei bus di La Valletta e da lì proseguire per diversi punti dell’Isola e da/per l’Aeroporto. Disponibilità del personale della reception e di tutto lo staff.

Kedves személyzet, tiszta, minden könnyen megközelíthető.
Pros:

Nagyon kedves segítőkész személyzet, tiszta volt minden, és szuper volt a skybar a medencével. A szoba teljesen megfelelt, bár egy picit zsúfolt volt. Volt alternatív tej a reggelinél :-)

Cons:

A reggeli jó volt, de minden nap ugyan azt kaptuk, maximum egy édes péksütin változtattak. Nem számítottam rá, hogy ilyen hangos a környék.
