A hotel I would come back to in a heart beat
Pros:

Small boutique hotel, super friendly staff, lovely pool put back, quality coffee available all day

Cons:

In October when we went the pool got sun around 3-4 hours in the middle of the day, location is actually very good and central but you must like walking or Uber taxies.

Una piacevole sorpresa
Pros:

Struttura ristrutturata e molto pulita, buona colazione a pagamento con ampia scelta di prodotti (anche senza glutine), camere confortevoli e silenziose (a noi hanno dato una camera che non era sulla strada). Su richiesta rifanno le camere ogni giorno, c'è anche una piccola piscina e uno spazio relax. Il personale è estremamente gentile e utile in caso di informazioni. Dista circa 10/15 minuti a piedi dall'imbarco dei traghetti.

Pros:

Чистота, комфорт и персонал!

Cons:

Никаких претензий к отелю. Выбирали расположение по отзывам и большинство писало, что отличная доступность публичного транспорта в любую точку острова. К сожалению, нам так и не удалось это сделать, т.к. транспорт ходит просто ужасно, никакого расписания и логики. Отель совершенно не при чем, все вопросы к транспорту :)

Buon prezzo. Posizione strategica sull'isola. Piscina rilassante.
Pros:

Siamo stati in questa struttura 2 notti per un festival, non per una vacanza al mare. Location perfetta per noi. Non lontana dall'aeroporto (meno di 30 euro di Bolt), vicinissima a St Julian, ma senza essere nella confusione della movida. Silema ha tutto (ristoranti, negozi, supermercati) ad una distanza raggiungibile a piedi. La piscina è piccola ma molto rilassante. Ci sono acqua e caffè gratis tutto il giorno! Francis è stato super gentile e competente! La colazione è anche molto buona e non costosa.

Pros:

We booked only one night at Alba. Because of extreme weather conditions, our flight was diverted to Italy and we got to Malta 10h late. Even if we got to the hotel just 30min before checkout, the staff was really understanding and allowed us to have a late check out just so we could get a few hoirs of sleep. No extra charge. The staff were literal angels for helping us. Thank you very much!

The room was spatious and really clean, new furniture amd big balcony. Did not have time to check all facilities.

Cons:

Everything was amazing

Profitez tout avec le sourire
Pros:

En numéro 1 l’accueil et la gentillesse du personnel, des sourires tous les jours, l’hébergement est propre, et très bien placé. Nous faisons tout à pied, la piscine est un vrai plus, et la chambre bien insonorisée. Encore merci pour ce beau séjour!

Cons:

Rien
