Had outstanding stay on our last visit. The pool area was clean and the location was prime and reasonably priced, near Valletta and St Julian's, the Harbour and ferry to Valetta and the most fantastic island. Also, the venue was near Soap Cafe Beauty Supply Store. We did not want to leave there, so recommend this hotel.

The place was fairly clean with highly courteous and experienced staff members. Got the same well-appointed deluxe room with view booked online, really enjoyed that. I found the hotel's location excellent and stunning, near to Balluta Bay and St Julians in around 15 minutes, downtown, and restaurants and shops in Sliema. Nice food in the poolside restaurant was the best part.

All is superb, I had a nice trip. Make sure you stay in the superior queen room with balcony view, a massive bed, for example. The hotel is in the central location on the ferry to Valletta. It's also adjacent to buses to get to st Julian, all the attractions of Sliema and the promenade towards st julians. When I am in Sliema, I like staying here.

We didn't have time, so stayed here only for 7 nights, even so everything was very good. Our room was tastefully decorated and new-fashioned with a patio enclosed by very high concrete walls, views across the harbour to Valletta, for example, slept well.
Well, the views were awful here.
