Ambassador

Cracking breakfast. Very friendly staff. Couldn't do enough for you. The pool was shut as I was there out of season which upset some guests but it didn't worry me. Nice little sunbathing terrace which caught the sun all day and I largely had that to myself. Bliss. Plenty of buses nearby to take you anywhere. I'd been a bit worried by some adverse reviews but I'd certainly go back.

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 Rooms outdated and worn out but kept clean.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!
