We really enjoyed our stay for 6 nights at this hotel. Staff were so friendly and always willing to help with a smile. Spa facilities were great- we used them almost everyday after a busy day out it was really relaxing to use the sauna and the jacuzzi. The beach club was convenient as it was just a walking distance away. I would highly recommend this hotel with no hesitation. Five star service all the time. Thank you all staff at the hotel!

The hotel was in a good location with free access to a beach club and the room was kept extremely clean, thanks to staff Azam! Unfortunately the pool is accessed via a booking system and during our 3 days there was no availability, we went up to the pool to check and the sun-beds were empty yet we were still told they were fully booked. This ruined my birthday as one of the reasons we booked this hotel was because it had a pool.

Can not rate this hotel enough! The staff, food, facilities, location. Perfection. The only minor negative is a bit of construction going on across the road, but that seems to be the normal all throughout Malta at the moment. They go above and beyond to ensure you have a fantastic stay. Will be back

Liked: Cleanliness
I have never given a 1 star review but this place deserved it — I’m not even sure where to start. The noise: construction all hours of the day. The view from room is a construction site 10 feet away, terrible view and the loud banging in the morning is incredibly frustrating and makes it very hard to sleep. Room: The bed was hard as a rock. Everything is done through an app, including unlocking and locking your room. We were locked IN our room for over 30 minutes on our first morning. It was extremely unsafe. Amenities: They have a rooftop pool that was booked up everyday of our 5-day stay. However when we went to look at it, it was a TINY pool with a view of construction and cranes. The pool club was nice, but it was a bit further of a walk than advertised due to the construction. All of the pictures on the site are of the pool club, not of the hotel, so it’s VERY misleading. Nor is the construction noted. We were so excited for this hotel (even had family come to stay and book rooms) but when we arrived, our jaws dropped. Definitely recommend looking up other hotels.

The hotel is fantastic, modern, clean with great facilities. The breakfast buffet was also good with plenty of options and the food was good quality. The staff were all friendly, polite and always happy to help. The hotel even puts on complimentary excursions, we went on two. The first was a walking food tour around Sliema, it was great to see the side streets away from the busy tourist strips and try some local food. The second was a vintage bus tour. I didn’t really know what to expect, but it far surpassed any expectations. The trip was around 4 hours and we saw parts of Malta that we otherwise would not have seen. I highly recommend anyone staying at the hotel to do this excursion. Unfortunately there are building work everywhere in Sliema, including right next to the hotel. This makes it difficult to totally relax when using the rooftop pool due to the noise. I cannot fault anything inside the hotel. Unfortunately the building work is unavoidable and outside of the hotel’s control. Had there of not been the building work, it would have been a perfect holiday.

Liked: Amenities
What We Liked: * The spa was excellent – relaxing and well-maintained. * Enjoyed the Molton Brown toiletries – a lovely touch. * The sushi was fresh and delicious. * The staff working at the rooftop pool was particularly welcoming. * The bus tour was a highlight – well-organized and a great way to explore. * The bar was pleasant, though not extraordinary. * The luggage staff were nice Areas for Improvement: * Dinner reservation communication was unclear, and we didn’t receive confirmation despite requesting it and had to ask again - then told we were on a waiting list - which is fine but the lack of communication was not great * The complimentary wine was a nice touch, but when we politely asked to switch from red to white, the response felt rude and unnecessarily judgmental. A simple "no" would have sufficed. * Our shower flooded on every use which made the bathroom uncomfortable. * The reservation system seemed disjointed – cancellations via chat weren’t properly relayed to the pool team. * The beach club felt run-down, and staff at the sunbed area were not welcoming * The issue with credit not being pre-authorized and they held it saying itd be a holding charge but then they took the full payment out - we tried to resolve on checkout and was met with a condescending tone and minimal apology. There is also not enough explanation on why i was charged.

Modern clean hotel

The hotel is very clean and modern with only hangong space and no drawers. My room was one of the smaller doubles and looked out onto building work which started before 8 most mornings so it was a bit noisy. The fiod at the beachclub is very good but it is a 5 minute walk away.

Don't recommend

For the price point I would not recommend this hotel. The room was very small. Lots of noise in the hallway and you can hear your neighbor in the other rooms. Breakfast was very very bad, very poor selection. The staff was good, location good. I think most people stay here for the pool club. This hotel does large tour groups, so many mornings the lobby and breakfast was over crowded. I would not recommend this hotel. There are many nice hotels in Malta for a better price and experience. There is currently a large construction project across the street, so if you have a room by the street you hear this construction.

Perfect spot, just check your room location!

The room was more basic then expected, it could do with a little paint. Our room was right opposite a building site so it was quite noisy in the mornings not great when arriving late the night before. It also meant we couldn't open the curtains or doors. Maybe a heads up to guests would be good. Otherwise the spa was great and treatments booked. As well well as the location, beachclub and breakfast.

A Real Let Down

The hotel try’s to market itself as high end but more 3 star. Interior finishes were poorly done and many small issues such as leaking roof in utility, broken door handle to bedroom terrace that could not be locked. The new App basically does not work when trying to book things and Whats App messages are removed if negative. Free benefits like roof top area impossible to book but if you are searching for a paid for service that is easy to achieve. After first night we disengaged and spent no further money with the hotel - just a place to sleep on a building site.

This hotel is lovely and you can tell it was design to be of a high standard but it is getting a bit worn. Lots of marks and patches up holes on the walls of the room, quick fixes to things like glass shower screens that have come out of place, etc… having said that the bed was extremely comfortable and clean. We went over the bank holiday weekend in May, so appreciate it is the start of the season however the beach club with getting built around us with drilling, painting and stocking of the bar. It almost felt like we were getting in their way being there. The staff though were extremely friendly and helpful, and I could speak more highly of them!
