From the moment we stepped in, till we checked-out, we felt important. Customer service is above and beyond, from front desk, to the barman at the pool, we felt they were happy to be there and always wanted to make sure all was well. Breakfast is fantastic. Don’t hesitate, book it.

A beautiful boutique hotel in the centre of Hal Ghaxaq Church square. Peaceful and relaxing but a great base for visiting the whole of Malta. The bedrooms are beautifully furnished and maintained by a great team of friendly staff. The buffet style breakfast is delicious and fresh. Lovely pool & rooftop bar area.

The room was decorated beautifully. It was one of the nicest hotel rooms I’ve ever stayed at. Very comfortable bed and pillows. It had great full length mirrors if you wanted to do an outfit check before going out. There was a rooftop pool with a bar with music, it had a nice vibe. Wish I stayed more than one night. This hotel was close to the airport which is the reason why I chose it as I had a morning flight and I was staying on the other island of Gozo prior to this. I would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic place to stay - highly recommend to everyone. Room was really spacious and comfortable. Quiet hotel, great location - only a 10euro bolt from valetta and a short drive to lots of coastal areas. Staff were really helpful and courteous, dinner was delicious.

No main restaurant open, not told before we arrived only roof top bar with limited options for food . Parking a nightmare, limited spaces round hotel. Staff need extra training in customer care . Room was very clean and comfortable and very quiet. Enjoyed our stay.

Had a great dinner on the roof deck, with views of the city. Had an early flight, so missed breakfast, but the staff prepared a takeaway meal of sandwiches, yogurt, and apples. Hotel was very clean and modern. Staff was very helpful and thoughtful.

Amazing stay! The staff were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and always happy to help. If you needed anything in particular, they were always available and very accommodating. The rooftop is fantastic, and the dinner at the hotel’s restaurant was absolutely delicious. The only downside was the breakfast. It’s a bit disappointing that there wasn’t more variety or more frequent changes in the selection from one day to the next. Other than that, the hotel was excellent, and I would definitely recommend it. If I ever come back to Malta, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay at this hotel again 😎

What an excellent boutique hotel! We arrived very late and although the front desk staff departs at 9pm, we were able to enter without issue with the provided doorcode. Our room had everything we needed and the bed was amazing. The morning breakfast had plenty to offer and was perfect after a day of travel. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I’d give more than 5 stars if I could.

Great rooms,staff are very polite and friendly. Dislike, the breakfast could have been hotter but I've been assured that new warming plates are being ordered. Maybe the introduction of bacon....we left before, 7am to catch our flight.so missed out on breakfast, staff don't start until 7.30 am. No night porter /reception, for a 4 star boutique hotel not that professional.
