"The hotel is located on a very busy main strip that's close to the bay, night life bars and restaurants. The area is surrounded by pretty people from all over the world and it gets very crowded. There's a couple of supermarkets nearby for groceries. We booked the half sea view and it was gorgeous. The pool is shallow about waist deep only while main pool is about chest level. You would need reservations for a sunbed booked in advanced.
Cons-Not quite the hotel's fault, but the design of the shower door is only covering half the tub so water is sprinkled all over the floor when you take a shower. I just get a bunch of pool towels from downstairs and use it to soak up the water. Also, they have extremely loud music playing from across the other island of Valetta that you can hear the thumping loud music (not hotel's fault) and this music plays well into 3-4AM. Even with the balcony doors shut, you can feel the vibration of the music permeating through the glass.
Overall, it's a good solid stay if you can drown out the loud music from the other side of the island and get a bunch of pool towels to soak up shower water spilling over."
