Experiência incrível nesse Hotel Maravilhoso a poucos metros da entrada de Valletta. Eu e minha Família estivemos hospedados, e fomos atendidos por um staff de pessoas educadas sempre prontos a atender às nossas solicitações.

Vor allem die Lage des Hotels ist fantastisch, unser grosses Zimmer mit grosser Terasse mit Blick über die Bucht hinüber zu den "Three Cities " war der Aufenthalt sehr wertvoll. Wir haben die Zeit dort sehr genossen, auch im und am riesigen Swimmingpool war sehr schön. Mit kurzen Bus Shuttle kurzer Weg in die City of Valletta. Personal sehr gut, vor allem Room Service und Cleaning. Frühstück Restaurant ok, aber sehr laut mit vielen Touristen. Das Essenangebot nur mittelmäßig. Kaffee Qualität nicht sehr gut, extra Bestellung von Cappuccino oder Espresso kostet extra. Positive: wenn man danach fragt bekommt man frischen Orangensaft. Alles Andere an "Saft" ist gefärbten Wasser mit Zucker. Aber alles in Allem Hotel 4 von 5 Sternen

Just had a lovely 8 night stay. The good: The pool was a lovely area and a great temperature. We always got sunbeds and there was a fair amount of shade. The food and drinks were good as was the service. Breakfast was great - we went down in the advertised ‘busy time’ and always got a table and it never seemed too busy. The omelette and egg station was very good and there was always a good amount of smoked salmon. Bar service in the Harbour View was also great. The decor was classic and internally I felt it was grand but relaxing. Rooms were big - as was our balcony. The housekeeping team did a super job. Lovely location on the Harbour with great views. I’d prepared myself for the infamous steps and they really weren’t that bad!! Always walked in - never considered the shuttle. The not so good: Only one person at check in and we watched the people served before us given welcome drinks as they were being served. We were very thirsty and expected the same but drinks were never offered to us and then when we left the desk I saw the next people queuing behind us had drinks! The exterior of the building does look a little tired but I understand there is a refurb starting in Feb 2027 for 18 months and it didn’t detract from our stay. Overall I’d wholeheartedly recommend staying here 😁

The check in process for same day (booked at 3pm at airport when Airbnb canceled same day due to property issues) was delayed until after 8pm. There were places to lounge while waiting but with jet lag it was not ideal. The property itself was beautiful with a great breakfast buffet. We were able to walk to all the locations we wanted to visit.

Disappointed with the complicated TV set up..you have to be magical to work their TV. Could not work nor get any TV to watch World Cup soccer. Downstairs wall TV was ok but very noisy patrons while trying to watch the great soccer games. Not happy about soccer TV

This hotel is set in the perfect location. It's a 10 minute walk up the hill into Valletta. There is a free shuttle both ways to the center if you can't manage the hill. Wear flat shoes, the stone in Valletta is now so smooth it was very easy to slip and slide in the wrong shoes. You can go on many trips from Vallarta. We used Get your guide - pool is stunning and the beach area is really nice so you can look at the Harbor all day if you went. We loved staying at this hotel, it is very dated and I believe they're going to be renovating it. It would've been nice to have different music being played in the evening at the bar area but it was OK if you were in your 80's. We had breakfast included which was good and ate once at the Tiki restaurant. Didn't try the other options. Bolt was super easy and efficient. Staff were lovely, room old but clean. There is a ferry 10 mins walk from hotel if you want to go over to Sliema for a few hours. I suggest the day trip to Sicily, Gozo Island, hop on bus to Mlina, 3 cities trip and Marsaxlokk fishing village for seafood dinner- the bus goes there for €2 . We could not have picked a better hotel for the kind of trip we had planned. Looking forward to going back there when it is renovated. Highly Recommend!

Although, the hotel is older and scheduled for a revamp, it was very clean and well maintained. Location was great and having onsite car rental parking made it a perfect for us

Luigi • Family Trip

Location stupenda, panoramica, a due passi dal City Gate, ma con servizi non facilmente disponibili in altre strutture ( accesso al mare, piscina con ampio spazio relax) , combinazione family con due camere comunicanti speculari, con altrettanti bagni, perfetti per noi due ( fratello e sorella), spazi enormi per colazione, cene a buffet e cene a là carte, hall da grande albergo, grande cortesia del personale… frequentatissimo da clientela anglosassone Da consigliare assolutamente!
