The hotel is set up to ensure you can get a good nights sleep and keep well fed but not charging you too much. They want you to engage with the local community and enjoy the local amenities

Where do I even start? Firstly, the rooms had a ton of mold in them, and they were not properly cleaned. This was unsafe, especially with asthma sufferers. Secondly, the breakfast is lacking many basic options, very limited food options. Protein options are primarily pork and eggs. Thirdly, the cleaners did a terrible job with our room multiple times. Particularly the occasion where they didn’t even bother putting the bedding in properly, meaning that the actual bedding inside wasn’t covered. Additionally, after calling reception through the provided phone, they said there is nothing they can do as they are only two people and there are no cleaners available. This should not be my problem. This is the hotel’s problem. Make sure your cleaners do their job PROPERLY and this wouldn’t be an issue. Fourthly, the bedding itself was ABSOLUTELY terrible. I have had the worst sleep I have ever had abroad the past 4 days. The bedding continuously comes undone due to the lack of an ACTUAL cover, meaning it’s simply open for it to rip apart and get loose (provided the cleaners even do their job properly in the first place). The mattress was shockingly poor, there were constant stains and dirt on the bed, and the pillows were horrible. Never in my life did I think I would have such a poor experience sleeping in a hotel. SLEEPING IN A HOTEL. Worst bed, covers, mattress and pillows and nothing comes close. Fifthly, the door lock doesn’t work, and there isn’t even a remote for the TV.

Friendly staff. Hotel looks overdue a refit. Room generally clean except the room fan looked filthy. Gym pointless. Indoor pool small. Breakfast not bad but not great either. If you're on a budget its ok but there are better places to stay

This is not a 4* hotel. Liiterally just left this hotel. l Would not recommend to stay in this hotel. Like other reviews, location is great, some of the staff are friendly. I only booked for breakfast, which was fine. However, the young students that were staying there (around 40) were extremely disruptive, running up and down the corridors banging and shouting. This was constant from 8.30-10.30 and then between 2am and 3.30am. Reception staff not interested. We had to go out and speak to them ourselves. Whilst we were there the hotel had to repair one room twice as doors had been broken. You don't see the 'teachers' anywhere. We found out that the hotel 'houses' students wanting to learn English on a weekly basis. When we left the hotel to fly home, so did these students, but another lot were arriving. This hotel may have been a 4* a couple of years ago, but I would rate as a 1 or 2* - this would be due to the students damaging the rooms. This hotel either needs to put all the students on one floor or have the whole hotel as a student accommodation. If you are already booked into this hotel and your room is either 200 or 300 something, ask to change, as it seems the students at this hotel are allocated rooms on the 2nd and 3rd floors.

Our first room smelled so bad on poison( later discovered that there's so many little bugs) tha we had to ask for another one. To their credit they did change it immediately. The room was old and outdated . No safe deposit box , horrible bed, bed sheet would have been frrom ww2 same with the pillows.Towels were old as well. The ceiling fan was shaking at low and high speed the air-conditioning wasn't cooling as it should but making a loud noise. Had full board paid but used it only once as i wasn't impressed(different taste maybe but some people were eating).don't know how it got rated 4 stars but this is definitely the worst hotel that we stayed in. Do not do the same mistake as i did thinking its a 4 star should be good.

This hotel was absolutely lovely! It is only a short walk from the beach and there are many restaurants and shops around. There was music in the evening and dancing which was so fun! There is an indoor and outdoor pool that are open 9-6. The breakfast buffet had lots of options. The room was nice and clean. I would definitely stay there again next time I come to Malta
