Eine traumhafte ruhige Oase im sehr lebendigen Umfeld.
Pros:

Ein wunderschönes, kleines, liebevoll ausgestattetes Hotel. Wir hatten ein Doppelzimmer mit großem Balkon mit Blick auf dem Innenhof und Pool. Das Bett war toll, die Dusche großartig und insgesamt war alles top sauber. Das Frühstück für 7€ ausgiebig und von allem was. Der Frühstücksraum in einem klimatisierten Wintergarten mit Blick in dem traumhaften Garten mit Pool.
Das ganze Haus ist unglaublich schön restauriert und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Das Personal sehr freundlich und sehr hilfsbereit. Zwei Bushaltestellen direkt vor und am Hotel. Das Wasser und die Fähre nach Valetta zu Fuß in 7 Minuten erreichbar.

Cons:

Es gab absolut nichts zu beanstanden.

We were happy.
Pros:

Lovely and welcoming hotel. Great facilities,
Pool area and the staff were very friendly. Breakfast options was all we needed. The room was clean and comfortable with a balcony overlooking the pool area.

Cons:

It was further away from the hub of Sliema. A bit of a walk but that wasn’t a problem.

Visita a Malta, primi giorni a sliema e a julian e poi a Sant pawl
Pros:

Lo staff

Cons:

Qualche piccolo difetto nel bagno e nella camera, ma hanno risolto subito il problema (però per 100€ a notte in quella zona i difetti non ci dovrebbero essere)

Parfait. Nous reviendrons sans hésiter.
Pros:

La localisation est top. Un arrêt de bus (Miller) a 5min à pied de l’hôtel vous amène directement à l’aéroport pour 3 euros. Ensuite en descendant la rue vous arrivez directement sur le bord de mer avec vue imprenable sur La Valette et départ de nombreux ferry pour les îles du Nord et navettes pour visiter La Valette.
L’hôtel est impeccable et le personnel super professionnel et accueillant. Le petit déjeuner est excellent. La petite piscine est idéale pour se ressourcer pendant l’après midi pour se rafraîchir en attendant les heures plus clémentes.
Déco des chambres très sympas également.
Je recommande fortement. Nous avons eu pour note dernier jour la visite du propriétaire (Jean Pierre) très soucieux de la qualité de service de son hôtel et de notre bien être.
Je précise que nous étions côté cours et pas côté rue au cas où.

4 notti a Sliema
Pros:

Siamo stati 4 notti in maggio, mi e' piaciuta molto la stanza (eravamo nella stanza al piano superiore con la hot tub), la hot tub, la posizione e tutto quello che era intorno. Alla reception gentilissimi e sempre disponibili. C'e' da camminare perche' e' in una posizione alta rispetto al lungomare, ma ne vale la pena, anche per girare un po' l'interno di Sliema e non solo il lungomare.
