Nice pool and bar area; comfortable indoor bar seating area. Based on the edge of Valetta, it was easy to get to both the town and the Bus station at the top of the hill.

The hotel was lovely but the plumbing in our bathroom was very problematic with a toilet that didn’t flush properly. Somebody did have a look at it but it didn’t really improve things much. The breakfast buffet was excellent but the coffee was so strong it was undrinkable. A small but important issue!

Staff excellent, hotel very clean, breakfast excellent but very busy and very noisy. Room tired decor. Big hill to navigate each morning and evening to get up to Valletta or climb the many flights of steps as hotel built at sea level. But very near city gates and bus station to get around island.

Fantastic except for two things. The aircon was not working properly so we opened the sliding door get fresh air in. Unfortunately the staff at the entrance to the hotel working nights thought everyone else was also up so they kept us up with their laughter and banging about of luggage, slamming car doors. So if I were to book again I would book sea view, far away from front door!
