Great room, large and spacious with a good view from the balcony. Our room was upgraded on check-in. The staff were always friendly and helpful. The inside pool was a little small, so crowded at times, but still a good place to relax. The TemptAsian restaurant served excellent food. The hotel was ideally located for walking to the Sliema ferry/buses and to local restaurants as well.
