One of the very best Hotels we‘ve stayed in on Malta! Accross from this Hotel we stayed at Iniala Hotel for three times the price, the room Theresas 1/3 the sizeof our room here and this Hotel at least has a pool! The rooms are appointed beautifully and the staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome and be of assistance! We‘ll be back

It was our second stay here and it was just as good as we remember. We booked this as a minimoon after our wedding and are so glad we did. The room upgrade was very much appreciated and all the staff we encountered were brilliant - particularly those that were up and down to the pool to serve drinks and food. It is the only hotel we want to stay at in Malta and we will certainly be back.

OMG what a location and 2 story room in the old fortress tower. Excellent restaurant & breakfast. Staff was very helpful.

TL;DR: Very beautiful hotel but a bit out of the way requiring transit to get to the main areas. Didn’t feel like a 5 star hotel experience For context: American tourists visiting Malta for the first time. M/F couple 30 years old. Pros: Clean, spacious rooms and bathrooms, lovely staff, beautiful property and surroundings, rooftop pool. The restaurant is also great - staff was wonderful and attentive, portions were HUGE, food was delicious with a great breakfast menu (lots of interesting choices). Cons: Felt expensive for what it was - towels could have used a bleach, robes seemed dated. Not sure I would consider this a 5 star hotel experience. Toiletries not replenished, no turndown service. My biggest con was the location. For context, we are 2 30 year olds (M/F couple) and we had to Uber/Bolt to get anywhere on the island vs being in a busy area like Valletta/St Julian’s since it was very quiet around the hotel. You can also take a ferry or a small boat to Valletta but you’re definitely not in a main area, which added onto the cost of the hotel. Please note that the rooftop pool area is quite small so seats are fairly limited. Maybe I’m picky but one thing I couldn’t stand about this hotel was the constant 70s and 80s music playing all around the hotel. I think this hotel is for a demographic and I don’t think that demo is a couple in their late 20s/early 30s!
