Apartment is very clean and new, located at convenience location closed to bars, restaurants, and beach. It is good for couple who what to have home cooking moment because there are oven, microwave and kitchen equipment available. Breakfast is basic but quality for us that was ok. Yogurt, granola, fresh fruit, egg, charcuterie and cheese also breads. Not too bad at all. Value of money package from Expedia. Photo of apartment is real. Flights are smooth !

Fantastic place to stay! The location was perfect, with everything within easy reach. I’d definitely choose this place again if I return to Malta
We really enjoyed this hotel/apartment. It was perfect for our stay. The staff were friendly, the space roomy, the buffett breakfast delicious, location central, the washing machine a life saver. Next time we stay in Bugibba, we’d stay here again.
