Ambassador

Steep 1/4 mile walk to bus route and out of the way. Local area run down and dirty. Roads and pavement uneven and not suitable for disabilities. Staff friendly. Rooms outdated and worn out but kept clean. Beautiful sea view from our balcony. Breakfast ok but you need to be early, as food goes cold and runs out. TV but no English speaking channels. Pool closed during our visit.

We didn't have high expectations after reading some of the reviews, however for a 3 star hotel this is ideal! It is a little out the way of the main St Paul's Bay area, but it's nice and quiet, the views are beautiful!! There's a shop, a couple restaurants and cafes within a 10 min walk. Always someone at reception, free water. You can't control air con temp but it does work at least. Swimming pool is decent size and fine, we always found sun beds too. Only went to breakfast once as we don't get up very early, but it was adequate. The bar staff (especially slightly older guy in the evenings) are great, really lovely and accomodating. Rooms were fine, everything worked. I don't think people should pay the price of a 3 star hotel and expect 5 star quality. But overall this is great value for money so can't complain!

I the Ambassador hotel with my husband and father for 11 nights this month. When we arrived, earlier than the prescribed check in time, I was advised both of our rooms were ready and there was no issue checking in early. Sophia on the front desk could not have been more lovely, finding a ground floor room for my dad who’s not a fan of stairs (although there is actually a lift). My husband and I were also upgraded to a sea view room. The hotel was exceptionally clean, everywhere, bedroom, bar, pool and all communal areas. Its position on the bay is slightly elevated and outstanding. The views from the restaurant and pool sunbeds are unobstructed over the harbour itself, but at the same time the location is quiet and relaxing. Isabell who works in the restaurant could not have done enough for us, she recommended lots of good places to visit and restaurants to eat. Although, there were several menus to choose from at the hotel, where we ate homemade meals several times during our stay and found the food to be of a very high standard and very reasonably priced. Breakfast was a very cooked fresh each morning and there was a choice of full English, cereals, pastries and fresh fruit. Christian, the hotel and bar manager was so welcoming and friendly, again, he and Zoran could not do enough for us, nothing was too much trouble. One night my dad had forgotten to take any water to his room, when he contacted reception, they said the bar was locked up for the night. 10 minutes later, in the early hours of the morning there was a knock at his door, they’d sent out for water to be delivered. - I’ve never even experienced this level of service in a 5 star hotel. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone, couples and families. We’ll definitely be back 🌟
