We had an overall pleasant stay at this hotel with some positives and negatives.
Highlights:
The room was very spacious, modern, and very clean. There was the option to change towels daily, and the bed was made nearly every day — excellent housekeeping service. The kitchen was well equipped, ideal for self-catering. The bathroom was lovely and well maintained. A true highlight was the fantastic rooftop pool with a great view over the city — at least when it could be enjoyed. Additionally, the service staff were super friendly and always helpful.
However, some downsides:
The balcony view was far from pleasant directly overlooking dilapidated ruins, which definitely dampened the atmosphere. The pool area was often overcrowded by large groups of language students who were loud and inconsiderate, making relaxation difficult at times. Another downside was the lighting in the room, which was either very dim or extremely harsh with industrial-style tubes, making it uncomfortable at times.
Location:
The location is excellent — very central in Gzira, close to the airport, and well connected by public transport. The ferry to Valletta is reachable within about 20 minutes. Perfect as a base for exploring the island.
Conclusion:
A well-equipped and very clean hotel with great potential, but with some drawbacks regarding relaxation due to the view and occasionally disruptive guests. The friendly service staff added a positive note to the stay. Recommended with some reservations.
