The pool is the issue! Not allowing anyone used the seats and ground pool is not safe for kids . My 5 year old daughter heard her leg as there’s no safety mats around the pool.

Check in was smooth, staff were welcoming and accommodating. The room was well designed and spacious. Bed was comfortable and the shower had good water pressure. I was particularly impressed with the gym facilities, a spacious area with ample cardio equipment as well as plenty of fixed weight machines and free weights. I paid the additional fee for breakfast on one morning and found the buffet to be varied in terms of choice as well as of a good quality. The hotel is conveniently situated, just a short walk from the main area of the town where there is an abundance of restaurants, shops and other attractions. I would definitely stay here again and I would also recommend it to anyone looking for a hotel in this area.

Mixed but ultimately positive experience. The hotel is clean and modern with good amenities and a decent location. The spa staff and housekeeping were outstanding but the main reception was inconsistent and it really depended on who available to deal with your questions. The lobby bar is small, but had enough options and was fairly priced for the area. The spa was far too busy in the evenings and was filled with screaming kids, making it less of a serene relaxing experience and more like being at a leisure centre swimming pool, the 7PM closing time also didn't help.

Very nice brand new hotel in Malta that’s close to the bus stop. The location is not too convenient for exploring typical tourist destinations but ride share is inexpensive in Malta so we opted for that most of the time. The bathroom in our room smelled like sewer but they were able to get us into a different room the next day. There’s construction going on everywhere near the hotel but the rooms are pretty soundproof. We could only hear the construction noise when we opened the sliding door. There’s lots of restaurants about 2-3 blocks away that’s by the water. The rooftop pool looked nice.

Breakfast was pretty good. Would especially like to thank Sarah at the front desk. She really helped make sure that our stay was so memorable. Thank you!

The place is a building site. Dirty and noisy and dangerous. Staff rude and unprofessional. We tried to soak to management but after over s month off silence we imagine we won't get a response. Terrible experience especially as we paid 4* prices for it. AVOID IT

All round decent. But the street outside can get noisy with cars or motorbikes. Location is near sea front so benefits from shoos and restaurants. Inside the dinner buffet is OK but food quality isn't the best. The English of some waitering staff isn't great. Air con inside restaurant is too strong...makes the food go cold.

The property is 85% ready. It’s a new building but full of on-going interior work and issues. The corridors and bedrooms have plaguing air pressure issues. Air vents in the rooms are extremely loud and cannot be rectified without technician support. Check-in was late and our room wasn’t clean. The cleaning staff failed to replace dirty towels without being chased. Our bathrooms also didn’t have hanging rails for the towels. The downstairs pool wasn’t open yet for use. We’re appreciative that it’s brand new but this did impact our experience. I’d suggest looking for a different hotel until they’re officially 100% ready.

I was a bit unsure at first because of some of the bad reviews, but I’m glad I went for it. The hotel is brand new and you can feel it, everything works well and looks fresh. Since it’s a soft opening, a few things aren’t finished yet (like the gym door missing and small details around the place), but nothing major. I did notice some workers improving things here and there during the day, even using hand tools around 11am, but it wasn’t a big issue and noise was quite minimal . The pool area is fantastic, staff are super friendly, and for the price it’s a solid choice. Breakfast could be better, especially during peak hours when it feels understaffed and crowded, but overall it’s definitely worth staying here.
