This is a grand lady of a hotel. A little bit tired in places but it has a good feeling to it. It reminds me of a cruise liner. The Reception staff are efficient but lack warmth, and the food and beverage staff are mostly chaotic, but if you brace yourself for it and allow for extra time and mistakes, you get there in the end - some more experienced staff at breakfast save the day. The whole food offering could do with an overhaul - it’s neither exciting nor extensive. However, for all that, the hotel has a charm about it, a location, a setting and poolside that is fabulous, so it makes it my hotel of choice in Valletta.

Very nice place to stay, huge hotel, just 10 min walk to central Valletta, great view out over the marina, large and comfortable rooms, several restaurants, great indoor and outdoor pools and gym/spa, 24 hour bar. While I don’t think it merits 5 stars as it shows a few signs of faded glory, I would recommend it to anyone, especially in low season when rates are very reasonable and fair

Really lovely stay over Christmas with family and great location to explore Valletta and the rest of the island. I would certainly be happy to stay here again. Large rooms, comfy bed, helpful staff and food was excellent. The only thing that let my stay down was the length of time it took to check out - a long queue with two few staff and a long process, my taxi arrived and almost left it took that long.
