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!

Fabulous hotel. The room has everything we needed. The view from our room on the sixth floor was easily the best we've had from any hotel. Sunrise was absolutely stunning.

Bed and pillows were very comfortable and breakfast was excellent, loved the fresh orange juice. We used the heated pool across the street even though it is the middle of November. Location is convenient to the ferry to cross to Valetta and the airport bus stop is just a short walk away. The only down side is that you can hear a lot of traffic and music if you have a sea view room.
