"The staff on arrival were fantastic. Our room was provided early which was fantastic as we were down for a Touch carnival in Rabat bay. I arrived around 1230pm expecting our room to be unavailable but as we were not getting back until 9pm I was extremely satisfied our room was ready to drop our belongings so we could head to shower and bed before another day of Touch the following day. The carpet in room 513 felt unclean and we felt we needed to wear socks the whole time. The sheer curtain was ripped and needs replacing. The balcony was great however the garden was full of over grown weeds above the balcony this needs to be done to provide a more appealing environment that is cared for. This highlighted if gardens are in kept the carpet probably is unkept too."
