    The only thing is that area is very busy and noisy at evening/night, but it is the location right in the center of everything so if you want party no problema at all 😃. We were with child and consider it as not a big deal as well.

    Great hotel with good location. We really love breakfast, cleaness of the hotel, and the lovely staff. Location is very close to beach, bars, opposite the shopping mall. Outdoor and indoor pool was paid but for very good price at connected hotel. We love it.

    The location of the hotel is in the dead center of the party place, so if you want to go clubbing it is very convenient. As there was no refrigeration in the room and we needed to keep our medicines cool, the staff was kind enough to put it in the staff refrigerator. Also we loved the swimming pool and sauna experience.

    The extra gym and pool facilities were not always available during my stay. I visited the pool, but it was not very clean. As for the gym, I attempted to access it multiple times over the course of three days, but the staff was not informed of the working hours, and the key cards to access the gym entrance didn’t work. On the day I was trying, I went back and forth to the reception more than four times in just a few minutes. It would have been greatly appreciated if someone had accompanied me after seeing me struggle so many times. When I finally managed to reach the pool area, which provides access to the gym, the key cards still didn’t work. Fortunately, someone kindly let me in, but when I reached the gym, it was locked with chains, despite being told it was open. I ended up wasting more than 20 minutes. This experience was quite frustrating, and I hope improvements can be made to ensure better access and communication in the future.

    Everything was great during my stay! The room was very clean and well-maintained, which made me feel comfortable and at home. It was spacious and had all the necessary amenities, creating a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. I especially appreciated the attention to detail, which made a big difference. The breakfast was lovely, offering a great variety of options, and the coffee was absolutely fantastic! As a coffee lover, it's not always easy to find good coffee, but here, it was really top-notch. The location of the property was also perfect. It was conveniently situated, making it easy to explore the area and access everything I needed, from dining to sightseeing. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend it.

    Our room was on the 7th floor, right below the breakfast area, so it was a bit noisy in the mornings due to guests dragging their chairs. Apart from that everything was wonderful!

    We had a lovely stay. Great location, nice breakfast, and helpful staff. The hotel was very clean and smelled great.

    No parking (it was specified in advance) but we managed to find free public parking near; The same breakfast everyday; Not enough tables for 3-4 people at breakfast; No clothes cabinet in the room, only a hanger bar.

    Excellent location, near water / shopping mall / pubs / restaurants, comfortable room and bathroom, indoor pool access, helpful staff.

    My room was with street and partial beach view next to the party strip which you could hear the music every night. So if you prefer a peaceful night, do not choose a street view balcony. Unfortunately the shower wasn't very powerful. Apart from that, everything was great.

    I stayed at the hotel for New Years. I had a double room with balcony on the 2nd floor. I was greeted by Leah who was really lovely and helpful during my stay. All staff were friendly and accommodating, especially Saviour who was always so welcoming and warm. The room was clean, spacious and bed was really comfortable. Breakfast was a good variety to choose from. The indoor swimming pool, sauna and steam room was easily accessible and shared with the joining IHG hotel next door. The hotel is just by the beach, St George's Bay, and has the shopping mall with lovely restaurants nearby. You can walk to Spinola, which is the next town for more restaurants, shops and a nice coastal walk. The Hop on Hop Off bus goes from the beach and you can take it to Valetta or you can jump on a bus or uber.
