Our room was on the second floor and the traffic noise was extremely loud. We managed to drown it out to some extent by keeping the ac on all night. We asked to be moved but the reception staff did not appear particularly helpful and didn't follow it up for us. Other than the room issue we really liked the hotel and breakfast was especially good and very varied.

Tolles Hotel in zentraler Lage

Das Zimmer hatte eine gute Größe, das Bett war sehr bequem und der Ausblick eine Wucht. Der Service im Hotel war super. Lediglich ein Kellner war unfreundlich, im Gegensatz zum Barkeeper, der alle Wünsche versucht hat zu erfüllen. Auch das Rezeptionsteam war zuvorkommend und freundlich.Das Essen, insbesondere der Burger und das Steak sind sehr empfehlenswert. Schade, das in der Rooftopbar kein Salat serviert wird. Da ich ein bisschen auf die Figur achten muss, kann ich nicht immer Burgher essen. Wir wären dort sonst noch häufiger hingegangen. Das Schwimmbad und der Gymbereich sind sehr gepflegt. Wir waren sehr zufrieden und werden bestimmt wieder kommen. Der einzige Nachteil dieses Hotels ist der Bau-und Straßenlärm. Dafür liegt es aber sehr zentral. Man kann nicht alles haben.

A lovely stay in a brilliant hotel - staff couldn’t have been friendlier and as a location it was perfect for a holiday. Plenty of eating options in Sliema but hotel food was equally nice and breakfast was excellent too. Would highly recommend and if we come back to Malta we’ll be coming here!
