Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: business
Positive: The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was good with plenty of choice. Options for the evening meal are good but expensive. The location, just 10 minutes walk from Valetta, is excellent (though there is a walk up a steep hill).
Negative: The only real disappointment was that the hotel did not provide an itemised bill at the end of the stay and I believe I may have been charge double for the breakfast vouchers I had.
Summary: A lovely hotel with great staff

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Great Location with Good views , its a steep walk up in to the main town but apart from that its in a good location with plenty of parking
Negative: The Hotel describes its self as a 5 star Hotel , it is not . more 3 star. The rooms are dated and the carpets have stains on them every where . The aircon in our room started leaking and it took two attempts to get it fixed. The pool area is excellant with lots of sun beds and space to sit
Summary: A good base but not a luxury get away
