Excellent hotel with attentive staff. My room was by far the biggest I have stayed in. The bed was huge and very comfortable. Cleanliness was very good and I never heard any outside noise, so we'll insulated. I cannot fault this wonderful place.

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!
