The accommodation is away from the main road and offers a quiet location. The pool and spa facilities are located a short distance from the accommodation but within easy reach. My studio rooms were a little tired but clean and comfortable with hot water. In room TV facilities could do with being modernised to enable access to internet and portable entertainment

Lovely big apartment

Fabulous big apartment. Booked a studio and was given a really large 1 bedroom apartment with a sea view. Staff were extremely helpful and very polite. Apartment was very clean and comfortable with everything you could need. Could do with a bit of a refurb as the bathroom and kitchen are a little dated. All in all very good value for money.

Excellent value for money

The hotel is a very good value for what you pay. It is in a nice location with beautiful views overlooking the bay. We did not use the pool while there but looked very nice. The room itself was very big. The only complain I have is the room is a bit outdated. Everything looks like from the '90s. the towels are a bit thin and they don't give you enough soap/shampoo (although I'm sure you can ask for more at reception). The location is good - it is a 25 minute Uber ride to center of Valetta, about 20 eur. Overall - very good hotel but could use some updating.

Our room had 100s of ants on the floor we switched rooms to a smaller room with out. Hotel still charged us the same amount, and this room didn’t have AC and only 2 single beds. We are on our honey moon and found this to be an absolute nightmare hotel and will never return. For the price point there is at least 10 hotels in the area that are way nicer and better value

My wife and i enjoyed our stay. The property is beginning to show its age, but it is far from shabby. Our suite consisted of a kitchen/ dining area/second bedroom.c the kitchen had an oven and 2 burner electric stove. It had platrd and sikverware etc. Curiously there was no microwave. The bedroom ws comfy and decent size. There was a balcony with chairs and a clothe a frying rack. The sofa in the kitchen cpnverts to a double bed. PROs Kitchen means not all meals have to be eaten out. Convenient location Cheaper than many other hotels in the area Several good restaurants in the area. Indoor and outdoor pools (we did not use them) Very accomodating, friendy staff. Fridge is very cold. Very clean. Two mini grocery stores very close. Chaplin's restaurant next door does a good English breakfast, beans on toast, egg a andwich etc. CONs Parking is difficult, but not impossible. No microwave. No drinking water - it has to be purchased like most of the hotels. Buy a 7 litre jug from the mini mart.

La pulizia a Malta non è sicuramente il forte ma purtroppo l'esperienza in quest' hotel non è stata diversa dal contesto(purtroppo abbiamo trovato una blatta nel bagno). In particolare Il bagno era in condizioni generalmente pessime: vecchio, senza bidet, vasca con tenda sporca, finestra piccola e con affaccio interno all' hotel, tavoletta wc malmessa e non utilizzabile. Per il resto le condizioni e le pulizie risultano discrete ma il personale(problema generale di Malta) purtroppo non ha una base di competenza solida di ospitalità alberghiera e ristorativa

J'ai été déçue par l'hôtel, je trouve que ça ne correspondait pas du tout aux photos. La baignoire était pleine de moisissure. J'ai failli tomber plusieurs fois le cul dans les toilettes car la planche n'est pas adaptée et trop petite. Ils disent qu'il y un sauna dans le spa, on ne l'a pas vu on a juste vu le jacuzzi (qui était avec des jets froids) et la piscine. Très bruyant, si vous voulez vous relaxer oubler. Pas surveillé donc enfants sautaient et nous donnaient des coups dans le jacuzzi. Le principe du spa c'est quand-même le calme et la tranquillité ... il faut sortir de l'hôtel pour aller au spa et pas de cabine pour se changer, c'est une pièce où tout le monde peut te voir tout nu ou alors faut aller dans les toilettes mais la lumière s'éteind donx on ne voit rien ... je me suis aussi réveillée un jour avec des fourmis sur moi .... et pour se garer pas facile de trouver faut tourner plusieurs fois .... sinon le personnel était gentil.

We were hoping for a nice balcony with a view of the ocean. If we stood in just the right spot, we could just see the ocean between buildings at the back. The A/C was greatly appreciated but really caused excessive humidity in the room. We also didn't realize that the pool was across the road. Nice restaurants within walking distance.

AX Sunny Coast war für uns ein richtig guter Platz. Auch die kleine Küchenzeile ist ein lobenswertes Plus. Toll auch, dass einige Buslinien direkt vor dem Hotel abfahren - speziell die X3 zum Airport (vom Airport auch die X3 nehmen, hält dann gut 100 Meter vom Hotel). St. Pawl's Bay ist aber ein reiner Touri-Ort, es gibt fast alles - aber nur wenig Ur-Malta. Deshalb ist das mit den Bussen (tallinja card explore, 25 Euro 7 Tage super!!!) prima.
