Good modern & spacious rooms. Excellent staff from reception to house keeping. This is our return hotel for the last 3years, brilliant location for all amenities including the Point shopping centre which is a 2 minute walk away. Largest and best shopping centre in Malta. I would recommend this hotel for everyone, including couples & families.

The facilities (indoor pool and gym) can only be used by adults which wasn't clear on booking and would have changed our choice of hotels if we had known. We were staying with our teenage son so therefore couldn't use these. There was an outdoor pool but it was very cold and not an option.

We loved it and have stayed before, lovely clean room and great location. Only downside was that the heating in the hotel was on and it was very hot and we were told we couldn’t therefore use the aircon and to open our balcony door, unfortunately we were very close to the road so this made it very noisy.

The room was more spacious than I was expecting and had a touch of luxury about it. I can't fault the buffet breakfast and facilities available. It felt value for money. The staff who worked for the hotel were lovely, so it was a shame that the external staff at the shared facilities (Ina and Manta) were often unfriendly and unhelpful. I also found it bizarre that the hotel didn't deter large groups of local teenagers from hanging around the front of the hotel and even the bar balcony area for several hours.
