The hotel was lovely, clean and very central to the madness of Paceville I don’t think people realise this when booking hotels in the paceville area, one of our party had an extremely grumpy security guard banging on be door after a noise complaint ( it was 7pm an she was on FaceTime with her mum) other than that we had a great time. Something else to add we where not warned of the building work outside our window that starts at 7am every morning.

Great hotel! Very central in St Julian’s and easy to get around. Friendly staff and the rooms are very spacious. The pool on the roof is a great touch to the hotel but have limited sun beds so keep an eye out for busy times. Only downside would be that there are road works directly in-front of the hotel, making it difficult to get to in a car and the surrounding pavements aren’t in the best conditions (be careful at night). I would recommend to stay here.

Amazing hotel, modern, lovely pool area, decent spa, big comfy beds, friendly maids who clean every day! It is a very good location for everything in St Julian's. Shame about the outside of the hotel which is currently a building site and incredibly loud! Request a room on the other side of the hotel or you will be woken up very early!

Great location and a good 4 star hotel. AC was good, bed was comfy and room was large. Building work outside created a lot of dust, but in a room without a balcony the noise didn’t affect us. There was, however, a hotel arranged party all night on the roof terrace that kept us up until 3am with a lot of non-hotel guests coming and going.

The hotel is conveniently located for visiting other parts of Malta and there are some good restaurants within walking distance. The rooms could be good but ours had a faulty TV, a socket not attached to the wall properly, the lamp above the bed was broken, one wardrobe door didn’t close properly and the lighting in the bathroom was insufficient. The pool is good but the music is too loud for relaxation and the staff surly when asked to turn it down. There was also an afternoon where two older men were very obviously ‘entertaining’ two younger women … not really appropriate? The whole hotel needs more TLC and a stricter guest policy!

Emergency stop

Emergency stay so not a problem for me for one night (self propelled wheelchair) Could be a problem /affect stay because wheelchair access is only to reception and from corridor (with tight right-angle making difficult if assistant pushed wheelchair. Cleaning equipment stored in hallway making access more difficult. Access to rooftop bar tight turn and again only possible to order if you have a companion. On plus point the staff were very helpful and happy to do what they could to assist.

The interior of the hotel is appealing and my room was large, well styled and comfortable. Refrigerator in my room did not work and was not fixed or replaced despite maintenance staff visiting my room to check it. One towel was frayed, a dirty spoon was in my room when I arrived and was still there when I checked out despite my room being cleaned. Used glasses also not removed. Breakfast was not available in the hotel, but instead served at another nearby due to ongoing refurbishment, this was not mentioned on hotel website or Expedia booking page. Immediate surrounding area is being redeveloped with building and roadwork. Hotel is well located for main bus routes, shopping and restaurants. Overall stay was fine but did not meet expectations.

When booking this hotel we were not told that roadworks and construction was going on all around it. The main entrance area was all cordoned of and unsafe to walk through to get to hotel. In fact i went over on my ankke on the uneven makeshift path and injured my ankle and couldn't walk for days. I am still dealing with the pain now at home. Outsude your balcony is buildings going up and also noisy. Not a good view at all. Also when rooms were being cleaned there was no milk or coffee replaced and had to go get stuff most mornings and never enough towels left when changed. The rooftop are is nice but definitely not peaceful with crane noise and constructive going on. Definitely would nog stay here again unyil all work around the hotel is complete. You can also here a lot of noise from nightclubs etc a few streets away. Hotel itself is nice and beds are comfy but to much going on around it.

Large comfortable room. Good air conditioning. Pool area on the roof was nice, but the bar there is always closed. Lots of noise, in common with everywhere else in Paceville. During the day it is from construction work, and at night from the partying youths outside. Not the hotel's fault, but did spoil the stay.
