Very Basic Hotel

Pros: A balcony overlooking the harbour.
Cons: Complete renovation and modernisation.
This hotel is okay for a short stay but is very basic for the price. The room I had was small with basic furniture and a bathroom that really needed a full renovation. I had to do some work whilst staying at the hotel and, although there was a small desk in the room, there was only a small stool to sit on which proved to be somewhat uncomfortable. On a positive, the room had a balcony with a lovely view of the harbour. Food in the dining room was good with no complaints other than the rather dated furniture and decor.

Average hotel, definitely not 4 star quality

Hotel room was clean, but heating could not be adjusted or turned off. We informed staff who were very helpful but unfortunately problem was not rectified for 5 days. We slept with balcony door open through the nights (December), having to endure the noise of traffic in order to have appropriate room temperature. We were on bed & breakfast only. Food was adequate, not much variety but tasted OK. Items would run out and not be restocked unless requested. A real nuisance when you have a plate of scrambled eggs and have to wait 5 minutes + for bacon etc., We felt there were too many tables in the dining area, making it difficult and dangerous to navigate around with hot drinks etc.,

Die EINZIGE Freude war die schöne Aussicht auf den Hafen. Grauenvolle Einrichtung, uralte und muffiges Mobiliar, stinkender 2Türen-Schrank mit stinkender Decke, HOLZBRETT statt Lattenrost, grauenvolles, zusammengeflickte Abwasserrohre im winzigen Badzimmer.... verdreckte (also bestimmt 6 Monate nicht gereinigte) Plastikstühle und Tisch auf dem winzigen Balkon. Aufzug an allen Kanten abgekratzt und keine Stockwerkanzeige... Frühstück vom allerbilligsten - nur Platikrührwerk, also keine Kaffeelöffel, Fruchtsalat aus der Dose - und dieser nicht mal jeden Tag frisch aufgefüllt. Die von uns nicht gebrauchten Aschenbecher qualmten über, die Tische im Hof einfach nur widerlich schmutzig. Alles in allem nur peinlich und eine absolute Frechheit! WER bitteschön hat diesem Hotelier die Sterne ¨ür diese Beherberung vergeben?!?? Der einzige Stern

Das Hotel ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Einrichtung, vor allem das Badezimmer (Duschkabine defekt, schimmlig, Föhn sehr alt, WC wackelte). Ich denke, dass dieses Hotel keine 4 Sterne verdient hat. Freundliche Grüsse, Therese Parletta

Hotelli hyvällä kaupunkisijainnilla

Cons: Ilmastointilaite ei meinannut selvitä helteistä (37 - 39 astetta ulkona) mutta sen kanssa pystyi elää.
Location: Kahviloita, ravintoiloita ihan lähellä ja rantabulevardin päästä löytyy iso ostonkeskus.
Hyvä ja siisti perushotelli. Sijainti rantabulevardilla jossa kulkee hyvin julkinen liikenne. Lisäksi lähellä laivojen lähtöpaikka ihan muutaman minuutin kävelymatkan päässä kuten lautta Vallettaan. Huone siisti (huone oli sivukadulle päin jossa oli mukava rauhaisaa istuskella parvekkeella. Huoneen sisustus aikansa mukainen (ei uusinta uutta, mutta hyvää ja toimivaa). Aamupala ihan toimiva mannermainen (suolaista ja makeaa, lämmintä ja kylmää, hedelmiä jne.)

Not what I would consider 4 star

Pros: It was clean
Cons: It needs renovating
Location: On a busy street. Construction everywhere.
The staff was very friendly. Rooms were clean. Couldn't charge our phones when we went out because as soon as you leave the room there is no electricity. Pool area was run down but ok for the kids.
